David Hogg skipping high school |
"Why do you take so much money from the NRA?" Hogg asked in response to McCain's tweet about the Phoenix-area "Rio Reimagined" redevelopment project.
While McCain had not yet responded to Hogg's question, perhaps he should tell the teen something along these lines:
"I am the number one recipient for NRA money among all members of Congress for a reason. First of all, I support the Constitution of the United States and that includes all of the Amendments therein. The Second Amendment isn't about hunting--it's about a citizen's God-given right to defend him or herself and their family.
"Second, I support the traditions and ideals of the NRA--they teach gun safety and responsible gun ownership. They were never against background checks, but the left would have you believe that lie.
"In 2013 I took a lot of guff from my side of the aisle because I supported a bipartisan compromise on gun-purchase background checks, even though it never cleared the Senate floor. My heart was in the right place but you were 12 years old and probably too busy playing violent video games to follow politics. In fact, I was one of only four Republicans to vote for that legislation.
"Finally, I don't know why you and others in your school are attacking the NRA instead of going after those in law enforcement and mental health who didn't do their jobs, which would have stopped the shooter before he could have ever gotten his hands on a firearm. The Broward County Sheriff's Department, the FBI and the mental health facility who deemed the young man "not a danger to self or others" dropped the ball in this case--the NRA had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting, but they are the 'go-to' organization liberals go after before the dead are even buried.I am not a big fan of Sen. John McCain on many issues. Some say he's a RINO because they don't like that he's often willing to work both sides of the aisle. I believe that's true, but I also know that McCain has done a lot more for the country than this teenage bag of bull crap has done, and I offer no apology for my opinion, unlike Laura Ingraham who apologized for tweeting that Hogg whined about not being accepted by four colleges.
After Ingraham apologized, Hogg tweeted to boycott her sponsors and one sponsor, Hulu, complied. That should give you an idea as to what to do with Hulu and with Hogg--just pay them no mind.
