A Chinese immigrant who is running for U.S. Congress slammed far-left gun control activist David Hogg this week at gun control debate, telling him that he needed to go to communist China to see what the impacts of total <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gun-control" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gun control</a> are.
Lily Tang Williams, who is running as a Republican in New Hampshire&#8217;s 2nd Congressional District, confronted Hogg on Wednesday at Dartmouth University.
&#8220;I am a Chinese immigrant who survived communism,&#8221; she began. &#8220;And under Mao, 40 million people were starving to death after he sold the communism to them. And 20 million people died, murdered, during his cultural revolution.&#8221;
&#8220;So my question to you, David, is that can you guarantee me, a gun owner, tonight, our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never, never become a tyrannical government?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;Can you guarantee that to me?&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s no way I can ever guarantee that any government will not be tyrannical,&#8221; Hogg admitted.
&#8220;Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns,&#8221; she responded. &#8220;Never. Never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for dictatorship of the CCP.&#8221;

Another Chinese immigrant who has spoken out against communists, Xi Van Fleet, responded to the viral clip on social media by writing: &#8220;David Hogg you need to learn some real history from survivors of Communism.&#8221;
Williams later responded to the clip, writing on X: &#8220;I love to see more open discussions &amp; debates on our college campuses. Even though I disagree with David, but we shook hands at the end respectfully. I urge him to do some research on Mao&#8217;s Red Guards. I am hoping someday, he will get it.&#8221;

U.S.

Far-left anti-gun activist David Hogg erupted during a congressional hearing Wednesday on gun control and was physically removed by security.
Hogg&#8217;s outburst came as the Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee debated legislation to ban semi-automatic long guns.
&#8220;You are reiterating the points of mass shooters in your manifesto, the shooter in my high school, anti-Semitic, anti-black, and racist,&#8221; Hogg fumed at one of the lawmakers. &#8220;The shooter in El Paso described it as an invasion. Guess what? Those guns are coming from the United States of America.&#8221;
&#8220;They aren&#8217;t coming from Mexico, they are not coming from Mexico, you are reiterating the points of a mass shooter, sir,&#8221; Hogg claimed. &#8220;Sir, you are perpetuating violence, you need to &#8230; stop these things now.&#8221;

Hogg was one of the students attending Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, during the Valentine&#8217;s Day shooting at the school in 2018.
The lawmaker who Hogg interrupted, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), responded to Hogg&#8217;s outburst later Monday night during an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight.&#8221;
&#8220;So I found it interesting that &#8230; you were making, you know, people could disagree with the point you&#8217;re making, but it was kind of a logical one,&#8221; Carlson said. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t respond to a single point and just started screaming about racism.&#8221;
&#8220;Am I missing something?&#8221; Carlson asked. &#8220;Is that what it was?&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s exactly what it was,&#8221; Biggs responded. &#8220;I mean, he&#8217;s, he&#8217;s saying that I&#8217;m a terrorist manifesto totin&#8217; conspiracy nut. And the reality is, he&#8217;s, all he wants is he wants to get on TV and he wanted to advocate for a nutty position.&#8221;
&#8220;As a number of us raised, he interrupted our proceeding,&#8221; Biggs continued. &#8220;And Democrats have said, if you interrupt a congressional proceeding, that&#8217;s the definition of insurrection. And so the police had to take him out. He was invited there by the Democrats, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m informed, and so he&#8217;s trying to grift on this whole thing, it looks like, and he should probably be brought up on charges. Where is that [January 6] committee when you need them?&#8221;
Carlson responded by taking shots at the fact that Hogg somehow got into Harvard, saying that it was evidence that the school was a &#8220;mediocre joke.&#8221;
&#8220;Harvard has gone the way of all the woke post-secondary institutions in the country,&#8221; Biggs replied. &#8220;There&#8217;s very few of them that aren&#8217;t going to turn out somebody who&#8217;s as radical is that and, you know, stoking the fire like that is what the Democrats did. That&#8217;s why they wanted him there. They were they were hoping for that kind of incident.&#8221;

Gun control activist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/david-hogg">David Hogg</a> has deleted a viral tweet and apologized after a staffer for Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marco-rubio">Marco Rubio</a> (R-FL) accused him of lying about the senator for &#8220;self-promotion.&#8221;
&#8220;Rubio staff said I can&#8217;t meet with him or his staff because I &#8216;trigger&#8217; him,&#8221; claimed Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/parkland-shooting">Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School</a> shooting. &#8220;I just wanna have a conversation. Please meet with me @marcorubio I just want to figure out how we can stop these things from happening. We have to end the continuous debate and find what we can agree on.&#8221;
A spokesman for Rubio told The Daily Wire on Thursday that this claim was false: Rubio&#8217;s office had a meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. on Thursday with both <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gun-control">Hogg</a> and the March for Our Lives team, but they canceled after they saw his fabricated tweet.
&#8220;No one said such a thing,&#8221; Rubio&#8217;s Chief of Staff Michael Needham responded to Hogg. &#8220;As for the meeting, you must be confused as we had a 2p meeting scheduled with you. However, since you are lying and clearly using this all for self-promotion, that meeting is now cancelled [sic].&#8221;

In September 2020, Hogg, who co-founded the gun control advocacy group March For Our Lives, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/david-hogg-apologizes-for-condemning-violence/">stated,</a> “Young people can stage a nonviolent political revolution over the coming decade but it will require all of us voting in consistently high # EVERY election, protesting, organizing and running for office and most importantly the persistence, love and community to overcome setbacks. To do so we must all practice the humility, kindness and grace to be the political leaders we need to be in order to create such change.”
“We must not fall for the slander espoused by those in power that says violence will solve our problems, they only say that so they can have an excuse to grow their authoritarianism. I have seen how violence and hate destroys lives and communities — it is not the answer,” he continued. “The use of violence to acquire political power is deeply rooted in imperialism, capitalism and white supremacy[.] I personally refuse to believe that the use of this same violence will ever create nonviolent systems of government that represent and support everyone.”
But later, after he was slammed by followers for not separating violent acts committed by white and non-white people, Hogg backtracked, saying:
<blockquote>This is directed specifically at the young white people I see arming themselves or wanting to so they can go and loot and act in antagonistic ways against the state trying to use allyship as a cover. Let me be clear what I am NOT trying to do is tell BIPOC people how they should react to violence directed at them by the state. It’s not my place or any white persons to direct or criticize the way BIPOC people choose to defend themselves against this violence from the state.</blockquote>
After Hogg tried to found a pillow company, fellow March For Our Lives co-founder Cameron Kasky ripped him, writing that Hogg’s anti-gun activism had evolved into a &#8220;pillow grift.&#8221;
The Daily Wire <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/this-is-embarrassing-march-for-our-lives-co-founder-shreds-david-hogg-for-pillow-grift-company/">noted</a>:
<blockquote>Cameron Kasky made the remarks on Twitter without directly using Hogg&#8217;s name but it was clear who he was talking about. Kasky&#8217;s tweet came as Hogg&#8217;s new pillow company trended at the top of Twitter late on Tuesday after he tweeted about the company dozens of times. Hogg claimed he created his company to challenge Mike Lindell&#8217;s MyPillow.
&#8220;To those of you who marched, donated, lobbied, and called for change&#8230; I’m so sorry this is what it turned into. This is embarrassing,&#8221; Kasky wrote. &#8220;But, welcome to America, everything ends up a grift.&#8221;</blockquote>

‘Let Them Sleep In Your Harvard Dorm Room, Dumb***’: David Hogg Ripped After Suggesting Harvard House The Homeless

Harvard

Homeless

Gun control activist David Hogg announced this weekend that he had resigned from “Good Pillow,” a progressive pillow company launched just two months ago with his partner William LeGate to compete with MyPillow, “apparently before the company produced a single product.”
“Hogg claims to have divested himself of his Good Pillow shares, giving LeGate full ownership over the pillow company, in order to focus more intently on his education and his activism; operating a small business was, it seems, harder than Hogg expected and was getting in the way of more pressing endeavors,” reported the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/david-hogg-quits-progressive-mypillow-competitor-two-months-after-launch">Daily Wire</a>.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
7: Effective immediately, I have resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC. I want to thank Will for his partnership and wish him absolutely nothing but success with the future of Good Pillow.
&mdash; David Hogg (@davidhogg111) <a href="https://twitter.com/davidhogg111/status/1381004084166148104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hogg’s announcement was widely mocked on Twitter, with many pointing out his arrogance just two months ago when he first launched the company.
However, beyond the undeniable hilarity of capitalism claiming another progressive scalp, Hogg’s economic collapse demonstrated another bizarre feature of our society: the adulation of young adults as thought leaders while simultaneously using their status as “children” as a defense from any criticism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
He’s also a kid. You’re a grown man. you’re also a grown hypocrite asshole.
&mdash; Brian Moote (@MootePoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/MootePoints/status/1381299757226811400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 11, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The “just a child” defense is used by the Left every time one of their chosen “young heroes” comes under any form of criticism. Greta Thunberg, who oscillates between “thought leader” and “child” in the eyes of the Left, is another example.
There are only two rational and logical positions one can hold when it comes to young people — specifically children — in the arena of politics.
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">If someone enters the public arena voluntarily, then their age is insignificant, and their statements should be both respected and open for criticism.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Someone’s age should be a limiting factor regarding the legitimacy of their public statements, and we should therefore actively protect young people from entering the public sphere.</li>
</ol>
However, the Left intentionally use children while jumping back and forth between these positions as needed.
When a child or young person is willing — or apparently willing — to be used as a mouthpiece for a Leftist position, they are immediately promoted as a central voice on the issue. Gun control, climate, immigration. The complexity of these debates is diluted by the “childish wisdom” of the person in question. Their age is a source of strength, of legitimacy, of truth.
When that same child or young person inevitably says something worth criticizing — because they are speaking with authority on complex issues, often beyond their full understanding — their age is immediately leveraged as a reason why such criticism is not only unfounded, but maliciously unfounded. Criticism is rejected as being motivated by an alleged hatred of children, much in the same way as arguments are rejected by leveling accusations of racism or sexism.
The Left have to pick a lane. If they want to hand children the weapons of politics and push them into the field of battle, then they can’t be the ones screaming “think of the children” when the reality of political debate becomes apparent. 
Instead, if they care — as they claim — about the innocence of children, perhaps they should leave them alone?

David Hogg Losing His Pillow Fight Proves You Can Either Promote Or Protect Children In Politics. You Can’t Do Both

Greta Thunberg

Gun control activist David Hogg announced on Twitter, late Saturday, that he has exited Good Pillow, a progressive MyPillow competitor he and partner William LeGate launched just two months ago, apparently before the company produced a single product.
Hogg claims to have divested himself of his Good Pillow shares, giving LeGate full ownership over the pillow company, in order to focus more intently on his education and his activism; operating a small business was, it seems, harder than Hogg expected and was getting in the way of more pressing endeavors.
&#8220;On Saturday, Hogg thanked his Good Pillow partner William LeGate and said he would focus on his college studies and gun-control activism,&#8221; Newsweek reported.
&#8220;Effective immediately, I have resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC,&#8221; Hogg tweeted. &#8220;I want to thank his partnership and wish him absolutely nothing but success with the future of Good Pillow.&#8221;
&#8220;Over the next several months, I will be taking some time to focus on my studies in college and advance the gun violence prevention movement with March for Our Lives and personally,&#8221; he continued.
&#8220;We were met with immediate and overwhelming support. But I soon realized that given my activism, schoolwork, and family commitments, I could not give 100% to being a full time co-founder at Good Pillow,&#8221; Hogg explained. &#8220;After many discussions with William and my friends, family and mentors, I made the good faith decision to allow William to bring our vision to life without me. That vision remains an ethical company that produces products that people need while creating good union paying jobs and supporting social causes at the same time.&#8221;
It is not clear what &#8220;shares&#8221; Hogg is referring to as &#8220;Good Pillow&#8221; appears to be structured as a limited liability company (LLC), which does not issue shares.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gun-control-activist-david-hogg-launching-progressive-mypillow-competitor">The Daily Wire reported in February</a>, Hogg intended the company to compete with MyPillow, whose CEO was vocally supportive of former President Donald Trump following his November election loss. Hogg called the effort a “pillow fight” and even went so far as to recruit LeGate as a partner. The pair intended not just to run MyPillow out of business, they said, but to run Fox News out of business, on the theory that MyPillow&#8217;s advertising dollars were the only factor keeping the news network on the air.
The endeavor quickly became complicated, though. Progressive &#8220;customers&#8221; made an ever-increasing number of demands on Hogg&#8217;s fledgling pillow company, Hogg and his partner failed to trademark &#8220;Good Pillow&#8221; or procure associated internet real estate, and there was already a progressive competitor to MyPillow on the market.
“According to the trademark application, ‘Good pillow’ was being registered for a ‘custom-built pillow,’ to use the mark in commerce or in connection with identified goods and services,”<a href="https://meaww.com/"> news website Meaww reported</a>. “The application is now waiting to be assigned to an examining attorney approximately three months after the filing date, which will take place in May 2021. The image registered with the application does not match the logo on Hogg’s and LeGate’s Good Pillow co website. At the time of reporting, no other applications for the name have been filed under either Hogg’s or LeGate’s name.”
LeGate ignored much of Hogg&#8217;s Twitter stream, saying simply, &#8220;It has been a pleasure working with you, David&#8221; and pledging to send Hogg &#8220;pillows from the first batch.&#8221;
Shipping, LeGate claims, is scheduled to begin in July.
Hogg&#8217;s announcement was widely met with mockery, with social media denizens quick to suggest that Hogg had grossly underestimated how difficult it is to start and run a small business &#8212; and making good on bets they&#8217;d made when Hogg launched his company that the effort would be short-lived.
&#8220;I too have relinquished my imaginary shares in my imaginary company that makes imaginary pillows,&#8221; announced one Twitter user.
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles said, simply, &#8220;lol.&#8221;

Eighteen X 18 Presents We Vote Next Summit

David Hogg Quits Progressive MyPillow Competitor Two Months After Launch

Gun control activist David Hogg pledged to launch a &#8220;progressive&#8221; competitor to MyPillow but just one month after the company&#8217;s soft launch, Good Pillow has yet to debut a product and the &#8220;Good Pillow&#8221; trademark belongs to someone else.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gun-control-activist-david-hogg-launching-progressive-mypillow-competitor">The Daily Wire reported in February</a>, Hogg intended the company to compete with MyPillow, whose CEO was vocally supportive of former President Donald Trump following his November election loss. Hogg called the effort a &#8220;pillow fight &#8221; and even went so far as to recruit a partner, tech entrepreneur William LeGate.
“[William LeGate] and I can and will run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people,” Hogg tweeted at the time. “This pillow fight is just getting started.”
The goal was lofty. Hogg and LeGate did not simply want to put MyPillow out of business &#8212; under the assumption that the market could not support two politically-minded pillow companies &#8212; but also Fox News, which airs MyPillow commercials.
&#8220;We are considering airing a commercial on Fox News immediately following MyPillow ads… my ad buyer says it is unlikely they’ll let us do that, though, since Fox News relies on MyPillow &amp; if MyPillow goes under, it could also really hurt Fox News,&#8221; LeGate tweeted shortly after the pair announced their &#8220;launch.&#8221;
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was non-plussed.
“Good for them…. nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone’s patent,&#8221; he told media shortly after Hogg&#8217;s announcement.
Hogg&#8217;s soft launch was fraught with difficulty, as progressives demanded the new company comply with a far-left value system, employing union labor and manufacturing strictly within the United States, perhaps in minority communities, with an eye to environmentalism. The plan was to turn such a profit that Hogg and LeGate could immediately give back to progressive causes.
The company took off, with Hogg promising that progressive consumers “should be able to purchase the items in around a month.”
One month on, though, there have been no updates on Hogg&#8217;s progress. The last missive came on February 10th, when Hogg told Good Pillow&#8217;s Twitter followers that Good Pillow was “trying to finalize the list of charity partners will [sic] be launching with.”
Worse still, it appears Hogg and his partner forgot to trademark the &#8220;Good Pillow&#8221; name, and now a third party &#8212; a person out of North Carolina &#8212; appears to have filed an application for their mark, leaving Good Pillow all but defunct as a brand.
&#8220;According to the trademark application, &#8216;Good pillow&#8217; was being registered for a &#8216;custom-built pillow,&#8217; to use the mark in commerce or in connection with identified goods and services,&#8221;<a href="https://meaww.com/"> news website Meaww reported</a>. &#8220;The application is now waiting to be assigned to an examining attorney approximately three months after the filing date, which will take place in May 2021. The image registered with the application does not match the logo on Hogg&#8217;s and LeGate&#8217;s Good Pillow co website. At the time of reporting, no other applications for the name have been filed under either Hogg&#8217;s or LeGate&#8217;s name.&#8221;
Hogg himself is on a hiatus from Twitter after announcing, in late February, that he was taking a planned break from publicity.

David Hogg ‘Progressive’ MyPillow Competitor May Be Defunct Just One Month After Launch

A co-founder of March For Our Lives slammed activist David Hogg on Tuesday for starting a pillow company, saying that Hogg&#8217;s anti-gun activism has evolved into a &#8220;pillow grift.&#8221;
Cameron Kasky made the remarks on Twitter without directly using Hogg&#8217;s name but it was clear who he was talking about. Kasky&#8217;s tweet came as Hogg&#8217;s new pillow company trended at the top of Twitter late on Tuesday after he tweeted about the company dozens of times. Hogg claimed he created his company to challenge Mike Lindell&#8217;s MyPillow.
&#8220;To those of you who marched, donated, lobbied, and called for change&#8230; I’m so sorry this is what it turned into. This is embarrassing,&#8221; Kasky wrote. &#8220;But, welcome to America, everything ends up a grift.&#8221;

In replies to other people&#8217;s tweets, Kasky made clear that he was talking about Hogg and Hogg&#8217;s pillow company.
Hogg&#8217;s business partner responded to Kasky, writing: &#8220;It&#8217;s ok to admit you&#8217;re jealous, cam. David isn&#8217;t defined by the tragedy you both went thru.

‘This Is Embarrassing’: March For Our Lives Co-Founder Shreds David Hogg For ‘Pillow Grift’ Company

Gun control activist David Hogg said Thursday morning that he plans to launch a “progressive” pillow company to compete against MyPillow owner Mike Lindell.
“[William LeGate] and I can and will run a better business and make a better product all with more happy staff than Mike the pillow guy while creating US based Union jobs and helping people,” tweeted Hogg. “This pillow fight is just getting started.”

The MyPillow CEO was banned from Twitter last month for violating the company’s “civic integrity policy,” and says that stores have been pulling his products off shelves. Dominion Voting Systems has also sent him a cease-and-desist for making unsubstantiated allegations about the company.
“Despite your repeated promises — not to mention your considerable and costly efforts to bankroll a so-called investigation into Dominion — you have failed to identify a scintilla of credible evidence that even suggests that Dominion is somehow involved in a global conspiracy to harvest millions of votes in favor of President-elect Biden,” Dominion wrote to Lindell, according to a copy of the <a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20458553/20210108-dominion-demand-letter-to-michael-lindell.pdf">letter</a> obtained by NBC News. “Of course, this is because no such evidence exists. But that is of no consequence to you because you are resolutely uninterested in acknowledging the truth about these issues.”
Lindell, who has refused to back down, was recently booted off NewsMax mid-interview for talking about Dominion.
Former Attorney General William Barr has disputed conspiratorial allegations about election machinery, telling <a href="https://apnews.com/article/barr-no-widespread-election-fraud-b1f1488796c9a98c4b1a9061a6c7f49d">The Associated Press</a> late last year: “There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”

Gun Control Activist David Hogg Launching ‘Progressive’ MyPillow Competitor

Mike Lindell

Gun control activist David Hogg condemned violence on Monday before backtracking and apologizing for suggesting his comments included violent acts committed by non-white people.
Hogg, a co-founder of the gun control advocacy group March For Our Lives, called for a “nonviolent political revolution” and said that movements pushed through “violence and hate” are counterproductive. His comments came after a summer of Black Lives Matter protests that spawned hundreds of riots across major American cities.
“Young people can stage a nonviolent political revolution over the coming decade but it will require all of us voting in consistently high # EVERY election, protesting, organizing and running for office and most importantly the persistence, love and community to overcome setbacks,” Hogg tweeted on Monday morning. “To do so we must all practice the humility, kindness and grace to be the political leaders we need to be in order to create such change.”
“We must not fall for the slander espoused by those in power that says violence will solve our problems, they only say that so they can have an excuse to grow their authoritarianism. I have seen how violence and hate destroys lives and communities- it is not the answer,” he continued. “The use of violence to acquire political power is deeply rooted in imperialism, capitalism and white supremacy[.] I personally refuse to believe that the use of this same violence will ever create nonviolent systems of government that represent and support everyone.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hogg later clarified that his comments are only directed at “young white people” who have used the protests and riots as “cover” to loot, vandalize, and destroy stores and attack others. He said that “BIPOC” &#8212; an acronym <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/what-is-bipoc.html">standing for</a> black, indigenous, and people of color &#8212; are exempt from his statement condemning violence. He apparently made the correction after a number of his followers criticized him for not separating violent acts committed by white and non-white people.
“This is directed specifically at the young white people I see arming themselves or wanting to so they can go and loot and act in antagonistic ways against the state trying to use allyship as a cover,” Hogg said. “Let me be clear what I am NOT trying to do is tell BIPOC people how they should react to violence directed at them by the state. It’s not my place or any white persons to direct or criticize the way BIPOC people choose to defend themselves against this violence from the state.”
“I am sorry for how understandably anyone could have misinterpreted what was said,” he continued. “I appreciate those that have called me out and let me know how this tweet was offensive and I am welcome to continuing to learn. Many are understandably upset and offended and I have have (sic) to do my part in admitting to mistakes when I make them and supporting my friends.”

David Hogg Apologizes For Condemning Violence By Non-White People: ‘It’s Not My Place’

On Saturday, the National Rifle Association, possibly in response to the rioting and looting across the nation during the summer, issued a tweet describing the AR-15 as &#8220;the modern day musket.&#8221;
&#8220;The AR-15 is the modern day musket. An everyday gun for everyday citizens,&#8221; the tweet reads.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The tweet elicited support from gun rights advocates who felt that the necessity of protecting one’s home or business required arms strong enough to fend off possible attacks, while it engendered an incendiary response from gun control advocates, who lambasted the NRA and cited school shootings that were committed with the AR-15.
One prominent gun control activist, David Hogg, who was a student present at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when a shooter killed 17 people and injured 17 others in February 2018, mocked the tweet.
&#8220;6 minutes 20 seconds Is all it took for the shooter at my high school to fire over 100 rounds from his AR-15 to shoot 34 people,&#8221; wrote Hogg. &#8220;In that same amount of time even the most trained person would have only been able to fire 18 rounds with a musket. Modern day musket my ass.&#8221;

Hogg’s tweet appears to have incensed Juanita Broaddrick, who noted Hogg had made no public comment about a recent report regarding AR-15s.

As our nation takes precautions against the China-originated novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that Sunday March 15 would be a National Day of Prayer, calling on all faiths to pray for protection and strength.
&#8220;It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer,&#8221; the president announced on Twitter. &#8220;We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these.&#8221;
&#8220;No matter where you may be, I encourage you to turn towards prayer in an act of faith. Together, we will easily PREVAIL!&#8221; Trump optimistically added.

Far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) apparently took issue with Trump&#8217;s announcement, taking to her Twitter account to promote a vulgar message denigrating the National Day of Prayer from Parkland school shooting survivor and anti-gun rights advocate David Hogg.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t let this administration address COVID-19 like our national gun violence epidemic,&#8221; wrote Hogg. &#8220;F*** a National day of prayer, we need immediate comprehensive action.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Tlaib retweeted the message to her nearly 1 million followers.
Seemingly addressing backlash over the re-post, Tlaib again took to Twitter to backtrack, telling followers she has &#8220;been praying through this all&#8221; and was &#8220;not&#8221; attacking prayer.
&#8220;Let me be clear as someone who has been praying through this all &amp; as someone who attended the National Prayer Breakfast,&#8221; she wrote Monday night. &#8220;My retweet was not to be an attack on prayer. It was to bring attention to the need for meaningful action to combat this public health crisis.&#8221;
The elected Democrat added that we need &#8220;economic stimulus for individuals, families and our local communities, &#8220;testing access for all,&#8221; &#8220;expanded paid sick leave and unemployment benefits,&#8221; and a &#8220;moratorium on water shutoffs, mortgage/rent payments and evictions.&#8221;

Tlaib has become known for her vulgar anti-Trump antics. When the Democrat was first elected to her seat in Congress, Tlaib, standing alongside her child, promised: &#8220;We&#8217;re gonna impeach the mother***er!,&#8221; referencing President Trump.
On the other hand, Tlaib is highly sensitive. The Democrat stormed out of this year&#8217;s State of the Union address because she was &#8220;triggered&#8221; by hearing the name of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“I think, you know, even the mention of Brett Kavanaugh for me is a trigger,” Tlaib told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow following Trump&#8217;s SOTU speech.
“Just as a woman in America, the fact that he, you know, rightfully was accused, and having an incredibly strong woman come before the public and the world and tell her story of sexual assault by this person that was appointed to the Supreme Court is just — I couldn’t stand still and not do anything about it, and I needed to walk away from that,” claimed the Democrat. 
Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the high court bench in October 2018, was accused of decades-old sexual misconduct by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. In a letter addressed to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Blasey Ford <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/51524/watch-christine-blasey-ford-attorney-admits-video-amanda-prestigiacomo">claimed</a> Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at a house party in the early 1980s, though the accuser was unable to specify exactly where or when the alleged incident took place and the witnesses she named refuted the claim.
