Man. David Hogg really needs to go back to school. That or he needs better handlers because WOW, his timeline is a mess of teen angst, spelling errors, grammatical screw-ups and embarrassing quotes and facts that he clearly does NOT really understand.
Every day it’s a little more obvious that this kid is a puppet.
Take for example his use of this George Washington quote:
"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder." – George Washington

We get what he’s trying to do here, (and there are plenty of enablers on his tweet patting him on the back pretending like he is deep and meaningful), he’s saying that legislators who take money from lobbyists and special interests are not virtuous in a sideways dig at the NRA.
Because in his young, ignorant mind, the NRA is the only organization that has ever existed.
But unfortunately (for him), he’s misusing this quote, something he might have known if he actually went back to school:
He’s misusing it. This is from a 1779 letter to Robert Howe, in which GW expresses the view that one should always be careful when dealing with professed double-agents, and confesses he is suspicious of Elijah Hunter. It has nothing to do with politics. It’s a wartime letter. pic.twitter.com/QEA89lB6HG

Oops.
Wait, you mean Washington wasn’t slamming the NRA?!
We’re SHOCKED!
But wait, it gets better.
Which is to say that he’s implying that people who disagree with him—and openly form free associations in order to do so—are akin to bought-off double-agents in wartime. So, pretty much what you’d expect given his rhetoric.

Weak.
And yes, pretty much what we’ve come to expect from the young gun-grabber.
How long exactly until his 15 minutes of fame are up?
