Marjorie Green confronts David Hogg
“I remember thinking… I’m just going to keep a straight face and practice my mindfulness meditation that I have often done to cope with my PTSD and my ADHD as well. They’re clearly trying to get a rise out of me by asking incredibly triggering questions, saying the name of my shooter and stuff like that,” Hogg told CNN in the interview.
Even if you don’t agree with anything I say or stand for we should all be able to agree there should be no room in Congress for people who threaten to kill people and spread conspiracies about mass shootings. https://t.co/pCmiClr4sG—The confrontation took place on Capitol Hill in 2019, and Greene posted the video on her official Youtube channel in January of 2020. It’s unclear why CNN and other members of the corporate media are only now covering the incident.

In the video, Greene can be seen following Hogg down the street and asking him questions about his support for red flag laws.
“Why are you supporting red flag laws that attack our Second Amendment rights?” she asks. “And why are you using kids as a barrier? Do you not know how to defend your stance? I’m an American citizen. I’m a gun owner. I have a concealed carry permit. I carry a gun for protection. You are using your lobby… to try to take away my Second Amendment rights? You don’t have anything to say for yourself?”
Prompted by CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, Hogg interpreted Greene’s statements as a threat.
“If they shoot me, they prove my point. And they can’t kill a movement,” he said.
Greene told CNN that she was in Washington to speak with senators and oppose Hogg’s gun control agenda. In the video, she claims that Hogg was able to secure meetings with 30 senators while she couldn’t meet with any.
“In 11th grade, one of my fellow students took our school hostage with a gun he brought to our ‘gun-free’ school,” Greene said. “I understand that fear firsthand and I will always work to protect our gun rights so that Americans can defend themselves and others against bad people intent to harm or kill them.”
Hogg has taken to Twitter to call for Greene’s resignation.
Sign our petition calling for her resignation Text resign to 954-954—He also posted this gem earlier today, apparently referring to himself.
David Hogg (He / Him) (@davidhogg111) January 28, 2021It’s a good day to take down @mtgreenee. Sign our petition calling for her resignation. It’s been less than 12 hours and has already been signed by over 14k people. Add your name to the list.

“First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you,”“There’s no amount of money that you could ever pay us to do this work because that’s not why we do this,” he told CNN. “None of us want to do this, but we have to because corrupt elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Greene are in Congress and would rather protect guns than children.”

Greene’s short congressional career has been controversial in its own right. Before being elected to Congress in 2020, she allegedly made comments on social media that appear to support conspiracy theories related to QAnon, 9/11, and the Parkland massacre. She also allegedly posted about executing Nancy Pelosi and voiced support for killing FBI agents.
Greene called CNN’s reporting a “hit piece,” and pointed out that she has hired people to run her social media accounts.
“Many posts have been liked. Many posts have been shared. Some did not represent my views,” she said.
I looked up “crisis actor” in the dictionary and “there he was”
I don’t know how anybody can stand to listen to Hugh Hewitt.
He’s Hugh and Series!
Hogg is a idiotic Karen who can’t handle someone refuting his idiotic beliefs, etc. Bet the moronic idiot gets ‘triggered’ on just about everything.........
He wasn’t there. Soon after he and a group of students gave a group interview where he said he was at home and when he heard it happened he got on his bike and his camera and raced down there to do interviews.
The only PTSD he has was that he wasn’t there.
I'll bet you flies wouldn't even land on this kid..
saying the name of my shooter
Saying the name of my shooter .....this little twerp wasn’t even at the school
when the shooting occurred.
PTSD - what a pathetic excuse for a man.
Before she started he run for Congress?
Change my mind.
Aren’t you being a bit harsh on the moderators?
I thought David Hogg was a big boy now. He needs to put on his big boy pants and not quiver in fear of “triggering questions”.
Mr. Hogg should learn to code because he's not going to make any more money as an agitator.
> Before she started he run for Congress?
Heh! Yeah, I caught that too. Completely unbelievable, of course. She is a nut.
She did nothing wrong but hold the loser to account.
From the video I saw, it is obvious that Rep. Greene was very calm and composed in asking her questions and Hogg was absolutely out of control by being quiet and not answering the questions asked of him by a future member of Congress.
I normally take it in doses as my sports station is in commercial.
I have also found that if you want to know what the GOP elites will be saying during the day he is the first to let the talking points fly.
I remember when Gun Week Newspaper had an article on THE CURSE OF THE GUNNIES, in which anti-gunners eventually used a firearm for nefarious purposes. It destroyed their self-righteousness claims of “No one needs a gun!”
Mostly they ended up using a gun to threaten people or even murder someone.
The only thing that has been triggered is David Hogg’s thin skinned narcissism.
Unfortunately, David “Pig” Hogg is not a real man.
