As the anti-gun media campaign has marched on, incessantly spotlighting a handful of liberal Parkland students, one of their conservative classmates proves again and again to be the real voice of reason.
The media has fawned over David Hogg and the others who have essentially become the face of the anti-gun, anti-NRA crowd following the Valentine’s Day mass shooting at their Florida high school which claimed the lives of 17 people. On the other hand, Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school student Kyle Kashuv, a conservative and vocal supporter of the Second Amendment, has been largely ignored by the mainstream media.
But the high school junior could not remain silent in the face of Hogg’s incendiary vitriol as he launched a boycott against advertisers of Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle” after host Laura Ingraham tweeted about him being rejected by colleges. Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro even called Hogg out on his tantrums and the “viciousness” of his personal attacks against others.
In a long series of tweets on Thursday, Kashuv reacted to the latest outburst as he eviscerated Hogg and his fellow classmates’ gun control debate while holding adults accountable for using the students and the shooting tragedy to further their own agenda. He methodically took on their talking points in an impressive thread that is beyond his years.

It is difficult to think of someone who has focused more on fear and less on facts than @davidhogg111. https://t.co/A9kGjBqGRY

The media took interest in him to push an agenda. They’ve propped people up and have turned them intro shields. I am not doubting anyone’s sincerity, but people have certainly been hiding behind my classmates to push an agenda.

They’ve agreed to work with organizations like the Woman’s March who have affiliations with Lewis Farrakhan – a known antisemite. Regardless of what they think, the cause was hijacked by Hollywood and became a Hollywood event.

Kashuv exposed the “March For Our Lives” rallies for what they became and looked back at how CNN’s town hall shortly following the massacre at the Florida school became “appalling to watch.”
The #March4OurLives had so much potential to be pure and grassroots but became very far from that. It was exactly what conservatives hate and what liberals love. At this point, with millions of dollars involved, every student, including myself, became a pawn in a game of chess.

People that just experienced a horrific tragedy were now on the national stage propped up by millions of dollars. It is too late to back out. Armed with little facts and lots of feelings, my peers made their way on to major networks to spread their message.

First CNN holds a town hall hosted by @jaketapper (who worked for Handgun Control, Inc) which was incredibly biased to start. While everyone was invited to attend the event, not a single conservative was allowed to ask a question.

The teen then turned his attention on his outspoken classmate and took on the many incorrect – but unchallenged – arguments he has made.
While many people have said many hogwash statements, the one person who has crossed many, many lines is @davidhogg111. He has said inflammatory things: ‘Our Parents Don’t Know How To Use a F**king Democracy So We Have To’ and the left has stood by it without any condemnation.

David has also contradicted himself on multiple occasions. Things he’s said indicate he doesn’t actually know what he wants pic.twitter.com/vIQtzoK6UN

David also lacks a basic understanding of what laws are currently on the books. This indicated a lack of understandings on the fundamentals of what he’s fight for and against. pic.twitter.com/U37N2hK6q7

Kashuv concluded his thread with a look at how even CNN pushed back – but so gingerly – on Hogg’s crticism of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
He then ostracizes Senator Rubio saying he can never do enough despite him being swift to action and was influential in passing all the legislation that has been passed since. pic.twitter.com/JfpLaXTZAI

The student’s points and presentation were applauded by most on Twitter, and even those who were critical were quickly shut down by facts.
I think the media should give this guy 30 minutes a day. Period. He’s honest, humble, and graceful. I don’t care what network it is, but his voice deserves to be heard, which will really piss @kurteichenwald off, too.

Kyle you are OBSESSED with David. He doesn’t talk about or mention you ever. Are you jealous of all his media attention?
— Whack Bitch ALERT ?? (@IAMDWRECK) March 30, 2018
He’s bringing up the fact that David doesn’t know what the hell hes talking about. He’s actually talked to law makers about policy that corrects the issue. But yeah he’s jealous haha

Kyle, please take your intelligence and gifts and talents to Washington one day– you are Awesome!

Two teenagers that shared the same horrific experience. Hogg is embraced, coached & given a huge platform for his hate against everyone. The teen anarchists has been sponsored by elite Democrats, Hollywood, PP & MSM. Kyle Kashuv is using his own voice to make real changes?
