As Twitchy reported earlier, Parkland shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv shared that his acceptance to Harvard had been rescinded, allegedly due to his use of the n-word in texts when he was 16.
There’s been a whole lot of projection going on ever since; liberals like blue-check activist and filmmaker Adam Best are claiming right-wingers are “freaking out” while it’s progressives who are celebrating an intelligent young man having the welcome mat yanked out from under him after it was too late to apply to other universities.
“Progressive digital strategist” Elizabeth Spiers fell back on the default talking point that it was hypocritical Christians who always “mete out punishment endlessly for people who are not white, male, and straight” — “Christians” like Ben Shapiro and Chad Felix Greene, who’s as straight as they come.
Now Best has decided to turn up the thermostat on his Easy-Bake oven and produce this hot take:
Right-wingers are freaking out about conservative Kyle Kashuv losing the opportunity to go to Harvard due to racist comments.
These same folks didn't care at all when 14 of his Parkland classmates lost all future opportunities after being murdered in a mass shooting.

Sorry, all we know about the Parkland shooting was what we learned from CNN’s town hall a week later. It was the NRA’s fault and (former) Sheriff Scott Israel and his deputies were heroes.
Put on some gloves before you handle this hot take. https://t.co/KabnjbJrbv

Not advocating for gun control isn't the equivalent of not caring for the students that died. Kyle was the only one of his peers who pushed for bi-partisan school safety legislation that could definitively been passed.

He also made the rounds of Capitol Hill to meet with any Congressman who’d give him the time, and even sat down in the Oval Office with President Trump and the first lady, which probably was another strike against him at Harvard. The kid was trying to show legislators his “ReachOut” app, which would allow students to provide each other with emotional support and help them recognize and report warning signs.
Most of his classmates didn't push for it, because it wasn't aligned with their gun control agenda. Not excusing kyles language (specifically the n****jock part). But saying he doesn't care about his fellow classmates is absolutely asenine

Ignoring his actions towards his fellow classmates is truly asinine. He jumped on board the rightwing propaganda train and rode it all the way, attacking those that didn't agree with him. His call for bipartisanship was pure b.s. But hey you bought it.

When did he "attack" those who disagreed with him. He simply stated their policy proposals wouldn't have stooped the school shooting. Which was factual. Hes also for less gun regulations.
— 22trill (@natetrill_) June 17, 2019
But instead of pushing for less gun regulations like more concealed carry permits he pushed for bi-partisan legislation like the school safety act, among other things that Sandy hook victims pushed for.

If Kyle jumped on the "right wing propaganda agenda" then his peers jumped on the "left wing propaganda agenda" going on live tv talkshows to push legislation that wouldn't have passed/stopped the school shooting in general

Who got more attention from the mainstream media? David “March for Our Lives” Hogg, who also blamed the NRA, “pathetic f**kers that want to keep killing our children.”
I love how “this seems wrong” is now “freaking out."

"I care more!" the leftist says as he rolls in the blood of murdered children.
— planefag (@planefag) June 17, 2019
We cared. We just don't think caring is an excuse to enact gun control laws that wouldn't have stopped the shooting in question. That's just dumb.
— Mike Partyka (@MichaelJPartyka) June 17, 2019
So when we, as conservatives, called for increased security at schools and the possibility of arming willing teachers…that was us not caring?

You are confusing conservatives with Broward County Democratic officials.

Harvard is a private institution. Why do "Conservatives" want the government everywhere it suits them?

So then you'd agree that a Christian Bakery has the right to not serve a gay couple? It is, after all, a private entity

Does it hurt being so full of hate?
You are just a CAULDRON of pure hate.
There is much HATE radiating from you I must block you now.

“Didn’t care at all” ..harsh words. Where’s your evidence to support no one cared? Or do you just spew biased trash out of your mouth?
— NVP (@Nick_Prav21) June 17, 2019
So, you HONESTLY don't think people who think differently from you politically care when children get murdered? If so, that'd be an……….. interesting position. Or is it possible you're doing a bit of demonizing here for likes/retweets?

Bonus tweet to show just how very, very much Best cares for the victims of Parkland:
It was 17 students killed, moron.
