Parkland Student Attacked by Online Conspiracy Fires Back at Don Jr. for 'Liking' It: 'Disgusting'

Source: Mediaite

The Parkland student who was smeared by conspiracy theorists responded on CNN tonight and had some words for Donald Trump Jr. for liking it.

A disgusted Anderson Cooper brought up the now-fired aide of a Florida representative’s email calling David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez crisis actors, as well as the conspiracy-mongering posts ginning up nonsense about how Hogg is the son of an FBI agent and therefore… something something deep state.

-snip-

The young student said he’s dismayed at how people could come to believe this stuff:

“It’s unbelievable to me that people are saying this, and the fact that Donald Trump Jr. liked that post is disgusting to me, but it’s also false, in terms of the sense that––these people keep saying that I’m anti-Second Amendment. I’m not. I want every American to be able to own a gun that has a mentally stable mind, a person that has a credible background, that doesn’t have any previous major convictions, and somebody that’s not gonna go out and commit these atrocities, ’cause those are the people that are at fault here. I do not want to take away the Constitutional rights of American citizens.”

To learn fast that she and her fellow students are targets by the right. Just like they were targets in school.

That would shut down these assholes. This "Wellaware1" bullshit happens EVERY SINGLE TIME an incident like this occurs. Not just a school shooting either.
Theres a photo going around showing "crisis actors & production team meeting"
I dont know what the picture really is, but the folks involved must respond to this bullshit as soon as it hits the airwaves. And facebook, which is where most of it comes from

They'll just say it's all lies. IT's what they always do.

James Tracy is worse than Alex Jones, and he lives in Boca, and is loving every second of this.

Particularly when her step-son is contributing to it here?
