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.

I can’t believe Camera Hogg is still around. This guy was a joke.
Predicted, loonie is going to crash and burn.
Hogg is a total POS......
Sounds like he doesn’t want to start a pillow company. If he does, he’ll feel good about feeding some children in Indonesia, sewing his pillows in a sweatshop.
Well, he has trauma, you know? From not being at the school shooting, but imagining he might have been. So his mommy’s basement is his “safe space”, it seems.
sounds like he realized that dragging a pillow into a gun fight wasn’t a smart idea...
““I’m going to take the time to focus on school, my passions, and my overall well being,” “
The kitchen is getting too hot for his comfort.
Can’t those two get hitched and disappear from our lives forever?
It looks like he glued on the sweepings from a barbershop floor.
Useful idiot is becoming less so. Sorry kid, your 15 minutes are about over.
Isn’t this the guy who wasn’t at the school at the time? What kind of ‘therapy’ does this dude need two three years later? And why is his only business idea to plagerize another person’s invention? Ladies take warning - a mean little man and vindictive snit is not marriage material.
what ? no fake death threats, from scary unknown people,,
just wait
How DARE you! Oh, Lordy, had to towel off my monitor after that one.
David Hogg halts gun activism after public spat with Mike Lindell
Give the little boy a chance for his ears to dry out and to get used to long pants. DOPE.
Parkland shooting survivor????
Wasn’t it later determined that he wasn’t even at the school that day?
Sounds like he still wants to do the pillows. But his fellow libtards started hating on him for making money. So then he had to admit starting this venture was mostly for his own benefit, ie. feeding himself.
Merkin being a womens toupee worn down under.
I’ll bet he could sell $5 Chinese pillows to virtue-signaling libs at a considerable mark-up.
