This pillow fight has gotten even more serious.
Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has stepped down from his gun control advocacy group in the wake of his public spat with conservative MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Hogg, 20, announced on Twitter on Thursday that he is taking a leave of absence from his position as board member for MarchForOurLives.
“I’m going to take the time to focus on school, my passions, and my overall well being,” he said in a separate tweet.
Hogg went on to allude to his public confrontation with Lindell last week, when he said he’ll take the conservative on by launching a competing pillow company.
“This pillow fight just got very real,” Hogg had tweeted at the time—calling it “progressive competition” for Lindell, who had been banned from Twitter the week before for spreading conspiracy theories about voter fraud.
The so-called fight had been greeted with ambivalence by Lindell himself, who responded to Axios that there’s “nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone’s patent.”
Still, Hogg’s spotlight-diverting effort may have rubbed his fellow gun activists the wrong way.
“I feel I must acknowledge that some of my recent actions have undermined my peers within the movement,” Hogg wrote on Twitter Thursday, in explaining his departure from March For Our Lives.
“To my fellow organizers and those I love most, I want to express my deepest apologies.
“You all have been there for me through some of the roughest times of my life, and I alwo want to thank you for your continued practice of holding me accountable,” he wrote.
“Fellow activists who do not have the platform or privilege that I have reminded me that this work takes unwavering committment.”
Hogg left unsaid whether he is stepping down specifically to take on Lindell.

Why can’t he understand that he is so 2018 by now?

I am more than my trauma- I am more than an activist I’m a human being that gets to decide what I want to do with my life.

To all those questioning my intentions sincerely **ck off I refuse to feel guilty about wanting to help people and feed myself and pay for therapy.
You may not agree with how I do it- but ultimately I know what my intentions are - to help people.
I’ll prove it.— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) February 10, 2021
Mike Lindell made Davey so mad he could bite a pillow...
>>I’m going to take the time to focus on school, my passions, and my overall well being,”
Focusing like a laserbeam on making leftist fair trade US made glutten free pillows.
The early days of a career loser… Already, he’s going to take some time off to spend time with his family maybe? Though if he isstill living in mommy’s basement, they might be ready to get rid of him soon.
Pajama boy v. a real man.

IOW, nothing
And he looks like he desperately wants to grow a man’s beard...

Too reasons;
1) Once someone gets a sense of social importance, their egos cannot live without it.
2) I don’t care what anyone says, for most people politics is a game of power (rather than service) and you can’t help attacking people who hold different positions than you. It takes a lot of discipline not to get trolled. Refer to #1; ego
I’m sure Hogg also already has his own line of “Gizzy WetDream Sheets”! Ew.
... Lindell, who had been banned from Twitter the week before for spreading conspiracy theories about voter fraud.
Dead eyes. Soulless.
His “high school football” moment is not honorable or memorable.
But 20 years later he’ll still be telling people about his valor that day.
