David Hogg became a legacy media darling after a mass murderer struck a high school—and a school-resource officer hid—in Parkland, Fla., in 2018. Since then, Hogg became a young poster boy for gun-control groups, and he went to Harvard. Now he has graduated and has been elected to be vice chair of Democratic National Committee (DNC).

To see how radical Hogg is, all we have to do is review some of his social-media posts on X.

In 2021, Hogg said we need to “abolish ICE” and “defund the police not USPS.” This is an especially outrageous stance for someone to take who no doubt would have rejoiced if a police officer—or an armed citizen—had been quicker to the scene when the homicidal maniac (to use an accurate phrase that was once used to explain such fiends) attacked the people at his high school.

In 2023, Hogg posted: “You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. When you’re talking about your second amendment rights you’re talking about a states [sic]right to have what is today the national guard. The modern interpretation of 2A is a ridiculous fraud pushed for decades by the gun lobby.”

Soon thereafter, he posted: “Also Bruen has to be one of the most illogical and stupid decisions ever put out by SCOTUS that 20 years ago if turned in as a paper at almost any law school would have gotten an F.”

The next day he posted: “We need to stop using the NRAs talking points and the false interpretation of 2A they have been pushing for decades. Their version of 2A is younger than I am.”

Hogg is 24 years old.

He then ranted on X: “If someone goes nuts and kills me for saying this be sure to politicize the f--- out of my death and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible … . Oh, and drop my body at the NRA … .”

This rhetoric makes one wonder if Hogg ever read Andrew Pollack’s Why Meadow Died, a book that investigates why and how the mass murderer in Parkland was not stopped even though he was very well known to authorities at the local, state and federal levels. It makes one wonder what kind of education he received at Harvard. And it makes one hope that someday he will get far enough passed his ego to really look into what happened and how to best stop such evildoers.
