David Hogg halts gun activism after public spat with Mike Lindell
NY Post ^ | February 11, 2021 | 3:22pm | Laura Italiano

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.

Mike Lindell: Class act all the way.
David Hogg: Attention-seeking flea.

Fly away, little flea.

Yeah, that facial hair makes him look like a real badass😂. Without it he bears a creepy resemblance to Joseph Goebbels

Every time I see this limp wristed twit, I can’t help but think of Nicholas Sandmann, and draw a contrast between the two.

One will go nowhere and the other has already attained status with the top 5 percent if not better.

And this kid is going to save save America? He’ll still be wet behind the ears twenty years from now.

I’d feel bad for the kid if he was less obnoxious, because there’s no amount of facial hair that will ever make him look like anything but a girl with a fake beard.

Moron in the higest degree already gave up on the first business venture because he didn’t know the first thing about what it takes to make a business work.. If he stressed out this quick he will never make it in the real world. Betting on he turns into a drunk druggie before he makes 30 and spends what remainder if his life in rehabs.

BTW, if anyone hasn't seen this succinct and well-produced 16-minute video of how the election was stolen, I would suggest viewing with your coffee break. It's excellent.

So they call the little fraud a “survivor” now. Is that the correct term for someone who runs home to get a camea so he can video the carnage.

If only his grandfather had legally changed the family name to Hough.

He might not have gotten bullied.

He might not even take selfies from below that make his nose look like a pig snout.

He might fit in, feel normal, not so alienated.

He might even like girls.

That is the face and eyes of someone who is on drugs. I have a son with an addiction and I am fully aware of the facial stare.

Hogg’s just a figurehead. The pillow war is being funded 100% by big tech. Hogg pillow gets free adverts, free priority placement, free press, and so on.

Hogg had a dream that he swallowed a giant marshmallow.

He woke up and his “My Pillow” was gone.

Exactly. He’ll do a licensing deal. Slap his his brand on a pos pillow. If a tiny fraction of his followers + other libtards that aren’t his followers buy it, he will able to feed himself very well. The mass media will eat it up. Andrea Mitchell will get a thrill up her leg.
