Michigan GOP candidate calls Parkland survivor David Hogg a 'crisis actor' who is paid by CNN

Michigan GOP candidate calls Parkland survivor David Hogg a 'crisis actor' who is paid by CNN
Elizabeth Preza 20 APR 2018 AT 11:20 ET

An Allegan County Clerk Bob Genetski, who’s also the Republican candidate for Michigan’s 26th district state senate seat called Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg a “crisis actor,” the Holland Sentinel reports.

The comment appeared in a tweet Genetski sent shortly after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School, where 17 people were killed. Since the shooting, student organizers have led a gun-control movement that’s included the historic “March for Our Lives” and a National School Walkout being held Friday.

Genetski who served three terms as a Michigan state representative, told The Sentinel he “personally [believes] David Hogg is being used by CNN because he fits their liberal narrative of Big Government Solutions to the Parkland tragedy.”

Really, anyone who spouts those crisis actor conspiracy theories needs to pay for such remarks in teeth.

And I agree with others - if he can be sued, sue his ass.
