Parkland Survivor Had The Best Response After MTG Trolled Him Over His Visit To Congress

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene recently attempted to start something with Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg, but Hogg wasn't having it.

Greene was apparently informed Hogg would be in Washington DC this week for March For Our Lives—a march aiming to end gun violence—and decided to try to antagonize the activist on Twitter.


Greene tweeted at Hogg:

"I hear you & your girls are funded to come to town this week to once again try to manipulate some of my gutless weak colleagues to vote for gun control that will violate our freedoms and leave Americans defenseless."

She ended the tweet:

"I don’t see you on my schedule, why not?"

Hogg had the good sense not to take the bait though, telling Greene:

"I’m more interested in protecting children and meeting commonsense people who are looking for reasonable solutions to stop children from dying. Don’t really have time to help you go viral for attacking survivors so you can fundraise."

Several Twitter users reminded Greene of the last time she maliciously followed Hogg around the Capitol with a camera.

Greene harassed Parkland students just weeks after the shooting took place while Hogg was still a high school student and Greene was just an attention seeking gun rights advocate and QAnon conspiracy theorist trawling the Capitol for social media content.




Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was killed at Parkland, also joined the conversation.

At time of writing, it appeared Greene had neglected to reply to Guttenberg.

A few others also volunteered to debate Greene, if she was looking for one.

Many pointed out Greene's hypocrisy in claiming to protect Americans.

And many were nowhere near as nice about it as Hogg.


Greene attempted to riposte, but fell very flat.

"David, you fundraise for a living. If you wanted to fix it, you would discuss common sense solutions with me, someone who has also been on lockdown as a student when the only madman with a gun is another student who wants to kill people. Not just bully my weak RINO colleagues."

It seems that Hogg has refused to even dignify her second attempt to bait him with a response.
