Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School — where 17 people were shot and killed two weeks ago — is quickly gaining visibility as a gun violence prevention activist. And on Saturday, the teen’s already powerful impact became even more apparent as she surpassed the NRA in Twitter followers.
The 18-year-old rose to prominence after giving an 11-minute speech at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale two days after the mass shooting, and for standing up to NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch at a town hall hosted by CNN.
This weekend, Twitter users noticed that Gonzalez had more Twitter followers than both the NRA and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch’s official accounts.
“In just one week, Stoneman Douglas student @Emma4Change now has more Twitter followers than NRA spokeswoman @DLoesch. A movement is happening,” wrote Twitter user Matt McDermott.

Also, following someone’s Twitter page does not mean you agree with the person.
It can mean you just want to be informed of what your enemy is doing.
And this little kid is an Enemy of the Republic.
“Two weeks from now the NRA will have thousnds if not hundreds of thousnds new members and no one will remeber this littlle libbots name!!!”
The NRA website has been slammed all weekend. Was finally able to get on this morning.
This entire thing is astroturf/propaganda... the fact so many can’t see right though it is an indictment on just how pathetic public education is in the United States.
Would be kind of ironic if 5 or 10 years from now..one of her girlfriend killed her with a gun.
It would probably make the news but hardly anyone would remember who she was.
Agreed. It’s amazing that anyone believes it,
Who taught them to be teen agitators..i mean activist?
Yeah, let’s see Twitter remove all his bots like they’ve been doing with conservatives. Not holding my breath ......
C’mon. This thread has more hits than People mag has had in the last decade.
Delete this dreck.
People magazine still exists?
Who knew?

I agree.
Many are saying R’s are gaining % in polls, and Trump’s approval is way up, but I’m concerned. I think all these all the brain dead young kids have no clue what they really are supporting.
I’m going against the current of most in my circle, but I think we could be in trouble this coming Nov??
This People Rag is owned by a huge lefty and Clintonite.
This tweeter follower crap is nonsense .
Why would an normal adult use it to contact the NRA .
Well, that’s a heck of an accomplishment there, Emma. Congratulations. Do you want a participation trophy or something? How about a puppy to pet and a coloring book?
These kids are what I call air heads. Most weren't born when 9-11 occurred. They don't know what an attack is.
And this would have never happened if everyone was doing their job and that includes the school reporting incidents to the police...and giving this kid a record instead of their "we'll handle it" policy.
Same thing in Trayvon Martin's school.
This is why there were no children at the Constitutional Convention.
Kids follow kids
Chinese “like” farms.
A “Follower” is not necessarily a “Supporter”.
Not surprising. Kids are followers. They go with what’s trendy, and right now he’s trendy.
¿let me guess,, this make her POTUS material now ??
