David Hogg celebrated Mary Peltola's 2024 loss but wants to give Marjorie Taylor Greene 'a chance'. [View all] RandySF Apr 16 OP

This is why Mr. Hogg isn't ready to be a steward of the national party. mr715 Apr 16 #1

Ugh. NOPE. n/t CousinIT Apr 16 #2

I'm not understanding the reaction. "Give her a small chance to have that conversation" Ilikepurple Apr 16 #3

He's giving the benefit of a doubt to a Republican that he wouldn't give to a Democrat. RandySF Apr 16 #4

Are you saying that he wouldn't have given Mary Peltola a chance to explain her positions, Ilikepurple Apr 16 #24

Such a mystery. She is moderating because she is running for Governor. travelingthrulife Apr 19 #86

I don't understand the hate for this young guy either. Democrats can be just as bad as Repukes. If you don't agree with Pisces Apr 16 #7

The same woman (MTG) who bullied/threatened him? area51 Apr 16 #5

If his immaturity gives him the ability to be authentic to himself then I say more of this!! He said he would give her Pisces Apr 16 #6

Hogg was a survivor of the Parkland school mass murder shooting. He criticised Peltola for being a big pro gunner. Celerity Apr 16 #8

Do you have a link to Hogg celebrating Peltola's defeat? TIA Celerity Apr 16 #14

That is not a celebration. It is a critique. nt Celerity Apr 16 #19

"Good riddance". Sounds like a type of celebration. It sounds Nixie Apr 17 #61

Yeah Arthur_Frain Apr 16 #25

You're right. This post is just a shameful pot-stirrer without the poster even clarifying or stating an opinion. adam_vermont Apr 16 #33

That's a lot of creative projection, but I'll stick to the actual subject: David Hogg. QueerDuck Apr 16 #35

I don't care about Hogg Cirsium Apr 16 #41

Excellent posts on the subject matter. Thank you. Nixie Apr 19 #83

It is interesting that a critique of political strategy is being reframed as an issue of "manners" or age. QueerDuck Apr 16 #42

Boom. Cha Apr 16 #48
