Former Congressman joins smear campaign against students who survived Parkland massacre

Former Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) has joined a growing far-right smear campaign against the students who survived last week’s massacre in a Parkland, Florida high school.

Since the shooting, which killed 17 people, the students have become outspoken advocates for gun control to prevent future acts of violence.

Kingston attacked the students as mere stooges for “left-wing groups who have an agenda” during an appearance on CNN Tuesday morning. Kingston added he believed George Soros was actually orchestrating the students’ activism.

I know that the GOP doesn't give a crap about people, post-womb. But the Democrats do.

He's talking like having that agenda is a bad thing. Let's admit to it and be proud of it.

they're being 'fair and balanced'. They are wrong. I'd say that the majority of the people are sick and tired of listening to the soulless, over talking blowhards. I'm with you 100%.
