After her recent interaction w/ AOC, @davidhogg111 tells @cenkuygur that Rep. @mtgreenee shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms.

“My vocal political adversaries are insane and must be denied their rights.”
I’m sure I’ve seen that before in history.
Also, that’s a pretty bold statement from someone who looks like a member of a 70s cult.
Still flailing, with increasing desperation, for that moving spotlight of attention, I see.
Welp, it seems Harvard has been doing a great of “educating” as he looks more than ever before like the stereotypical jobless reject marxist hippy douchbag, more than ever before. :::shrug:::
Is he wearing a white-supremacist dog-whistle Hawaiian shirt?
And he’s talking to Cenk Uygur, denier of the Armenian genocide to boot.
Denier or supporter?
Don’t forget, Cenk also supports legalization of bestiality.
David who?
Nothing more pathetic than someone who had their 15 minutes of fame and then spends the rest of their life trying to get it back.
He’s a “survivor of the Parkland Shooting” dontcha know. Despite being in another building and not being actually near the shooter.
Somebody should tell him his 15 minutes have elapsed.
Huh. Apparently I was wrong to doubt Hogg’s ability to perform well academically after Harvard granted him a scholarship for no reason other than being sympathetic on CNN. I’d assumed they’d either quietly flunk him out of their undergraduate program after a year or two or that he’d be given an unearned “B” average, graduate, and go toil in obscurity as a middling spokesperson at some anti-gun org somewhere…
I had no idea he’d be able to complete his undergraduate degree, get accepted to medical school, graduate from that, and then complete his residency so fast! Hogg must be some sort of prodigy! Hell, he’s already established a practice with at least one member of Congress as a patient!
Wait… What?
You mean he’s not a medical professional and has no basis for issuing medical diagnoses for people he’s never even met on national tv?
Nah. That can’t be right.
The Young Turks would never be so unprofessional.
Ish: wouldn’t providing a diagnosis, be practicing medicine without a license?
Isn’t that a felony?
Or, do the rules only apply to “little people”?
Hogg sounds like he is a looney worrywart, unthinking idiot and sleep deprived.
He should shut up, get a MyPillow and a good nights sleep.
“. . . a long history of gun violence taking place on the House or Senate floor . . .” ?
Really? Would you care to cite specific instances?
You’re so full of s***. And that’s just the start.
Allow me to do the work that Hogg obviously won’t do (insert your own joke about his pillow company here). I spent the afternoon digging through the Congressional Record. Here’s what I found:
Federalist Congressman Roger Griswold of Connecticut attacked Vermont Representative Matthew Lyon (Democratic-Republican) with a hickory walking stick in 1798. Lyon retaliated with an iron fireplace poker. The two were separated and went at it again a few hours later. No firearms were involved.
In 1837, John Wilson, the speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives stabbed Representative J. J. Anthony to death during a legislative dispute on the floor of the House over a bill about wolf hunting. No firearms were involved.
In 1856, Democrat Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina famously assaulted Republican Representatives Charles Sumner of Massachusetts , an abolitionists, with his cane striking him so forcefully the hickory cane snapped in half… His supporters in the South mailed him dozens of new canes. No firearms were involved.
In 1860, an anti-slavery speech by Illinois Republican Owen Lovejoy on the House floor, Democrat Roger Atkinson Pryor of Virginia brandished a pair of pistols and threatened to shoot Lovejoy. Other Republicans intervened and no one was hurt.
In 1902, Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina accused Senator John L. McLaurin of South Carolina of “treachery” for siding with the Republicans in support of Philippine annexation. A massive fistfight involving multiple congressmen of both parties ensued. No firearms were involved.
That’s it. That’s every single instance of violence that has ever occurred on the floor of the United States Congress. Only one incident involved firearms and that was a threatened act of violence, where no actual violence occurred.
One should also note that, with one exception happening long before the two present political parties formed, the aggressor in every single incident was a popular figure from the Democratic Party.
I think it’s time to start sending David Hogg life threats,
“Dear David, I am going to do everything in my power to keep your body healthy and your mind sharp so that you experience the misery of becoming an irrelevant laughingstock for decades to come”
At least he didn’t do what is a popular scam among victim disarming politicians, which is the claim that wanting to own a gun is a sign of mental illness. Nice trick, that — it means that only those who don’t want a gun would be qualified to own one. Not even Teddy Chappaquiddick Kennedy thought of that.
