Good news: David Hogg to postpone college to devote time to midterm elections

As you might have heard from Laura Ingraham, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting survivor David Hogg was rejected by several colleges to which he’d applied.

Kind of like how Chelsea Handler decided to take a hike from her Netflix talk show to become a full-time political activist, CNN is reporting Monday that Hogg is postponing his first year of college to devote time to political causes.

Brandon Griggs reports:

David Hogg has been accepted at the University of California, Irvine, “but he will not be going to college this year because he’s decided to take a year off and work on the midterm elections,” his mother, Rebecca Boldrick, told CNN Monday.

She said her son hopes to register and educate new voters and to “get people to vote.”

That sounds like good news for Republicans running this fall, as well as for CNN, who will never be hurting for a guest to sit in.

I'm sorry this kid sucks and CNN is eating it up. The reason they hold his jock so much is because he can say outlandish and untruthful things and you can't disagree with him or else you're a horrible person who's attacking a child. https://t.co/wN7A8FSDMv

Wow, what a real American patriot; taking time off education to be an activist. An activist who wants to take away our last form of defense against a tyrannical government: our guns.#DavidHoggwash https://t.co/UG6CSducoE

In Other Words…

David Hogg cannot receive acceptance to any of his preferred colleges so he's taking a year off to try and increase his popularity before trying again. #ridiculous #HoggWash https://t.co/Q6uLpmsvUe

When's his scheduled march on the southside of Chicago? He said he was going to visit major cities. https://t.co/SfTjxNah4p
