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.

3rd post hits nails Hogg exact. (I was thinking the same thing).
Only the vapid and hopelessly stupid paid any attention to this kid in the first place.
Would love to know what kind of parents this thing grew up with.
He didn’t turn into what he is spontaneously.
So how many pillows has this douchebag (Hogg) sold so far?
He wasn’t a Parkland shooting survivor . As I understand it he wasn’t even at school that day, but as soon as he heard what happened went there.
Exactly... Just like AOC.
hysterical!
He’s not a shooting survivor,
He’s not a shooting survivor,
He’s not a shooting survivor,
He’s not a shooting survivor,
He’s not a shooting survivor.
AOC was not in the Capitol building,
Hogg was not at the school.
He was home. When he heard the news he jumped on his bike and peddled to school to interview the survivors. That was his first public video statement when they interviewed some of the kids.

Post 7 - funny
I was thinking just the other day that “doofus” is perhaps the best insult out there. What better way to signify to someone that you are absolutely unthreatened by him and in no way take him seriously than by calling him a doofus?
Classic insult, lol.
Bookmarking...thanks.
Parkland shooting survivor????
Wasn’t it later determined that he wasn’t even at the school that day?
What he was, was in a different building in the school complex, and after they sent everyone home, he got a camera and went back to the school and videoed people’s reactions. He was nowhere near the danger. Any trauma he received was from hearing about the event.

He is twenty years old...and speaking like he has lived a life time of say...40 or 50 years...he need to get rid of his training panties and pull on some big boy pants...I bet size SMALL will fit fine..
By the way...WHERE ARE MOM AND DAD HIDING?
just wondering.
Exactly... Just like AOC.
He was at the school, but in a completely different building, never was in danger, IIRC never even was in a position to hear the gunshots, and has created a dramatic narrative using deference (For him, being a child. For her, being ‘a victim of sex abuse’) to deflect any criticism of hysteria over being evacuated.
What’s the matter? Did his boyfriend get mad at him?
LOL
The mentally-ill weirdo looks as queer as a three dollar bill.
