David Hogg doubles down on criticism of Ingraham: 'A bully is a bully'

Source: the hill



By Avery Anapol - 03/31/18 06:43 PM EDT

.................


“A bully is a bully and it’s important that you stand up to them,” Hogg said on CNN Saturday.

Hogg, one of the leaders of the March for Our Lives movement and an outspoken gun control activist in the wake of the shooting at his high school, also called out Ingraham for her comments earlier this year about NBA stars LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.
......................

“She’s tried calling out people at Dartmouth University for their sexual orientation and she told Lebron James to shut up and dribble,” Hogg said on CNN. “I don’t see any apology for those people.”
..............................................
........................

“It’s really sad, it’s disturbing to know that somebody can bully so many people and just get away with it, especially to the level that she did,” he said. ...................................

I am waiting for him to go after Hannity.
Hannity is a big bully and sooner or later, he will slip up and direct his comments directly at Hogg. IMHO

and only get away with bullying because those around them have been sufficiently terrorized. Standing up to bullies always mystifies and stymies them.

And those fools keep coming back for more. Who's next? I saw Ted "I shit my pants to get out of going to 'Nam" Nugent trying to be relevant in the discussion but, fittingly, was mostly ignored.

We're in the middle of a huge upheaval in our society. There is no low our opponents will not stoop to out of desperation. This self exposure has a long way to go.

I don't know about anyone else but I am more than ready for this. #LetsKeepWinning

Laura is being told. ..........take your money and run.........according to reports, she is rich...can do the right wing circuit. Will get occasional appearances on some news shows in maybe 6 months or so....

Laura has lost...one stupid, mean vicious tweet. Good By..you got what you sowed.!!

I think Laura makes enough dough on her right-wing books and speeches, she can leech off the Trumpies and RWNJs until she retires. Obviously her judgment is warped so she should stay off the TV (and Twitter.) Fox News probably wanted her for her looks, she's prettier than Bill O'Reilly. Big mistake!

A nice, natty suit. He looks very presentable. It's hard to knock that.

Right-wingers in the 60's couldn't refute the message of the anti-war demonstrators ('Stop the killing and bring our boys home before more of them get killed' is a message that is stupid to be against.) so they derided their appearance.

How many times have you heard one variation or another on "Those damned, dirty hippies need to go take a shower!" - ?

And look at Ms. Emma Gonzalez: gun-crazies, terrified of her courage, her strength, and her determination, went after her appearance and her sexual orientation instead.

They ARE a good team.
she is simple t-shirt, overalls or sytlisticaly ripped up jeans, or tank-top, or... buzz cut.

he clean cut dresser, 50's haircut, thin features.....

It's just a perfect dichotomy -- the 2 of them....

Do you think his dress is intentional? I mean for what he is doing? Seems to me it is just him..

I like it.

I agree with you that he's just being himself; a side benefit of which is it catches people's attention in a good way.

Nothing about being conservative. It is simply about power.

If you say something, and the right wingers complain about it, you double down. You DON’T apologize, you DON’T walk it back.

Obama did this, Hillary STILL does this. If you soften your stance, the right isn’t mollified. They don’t show gratitude. They just sense weakness and feel entitled to continue to be horrible.
