Parkland survivor David Hogg sees double standard in defense of Covington Catholic students
New York Daily News ^ | Jan. 23, 2019 | Jessica Schladebeck

Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently said she's never “seen people so happy to destroy a kid's life,” but Parkland student David Hogg begs to differ.

The White House press secretary doubled down on her defense of the Covington Catholic students accused of mocking Native American activists on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night.

“I think what happened with Buzzfeed is a great lesson for the media. Quit trying to be first and start trying to be right. We have seen time and time again where they run out here with outrageous, ridiculous stories,” she said.

“One person reports it to begin with and they all jump on it. We saw it again with the Covington students. I’ve never seen people so happy to destroy a kid’s life.”

Hogg issued his blistering response to Sanders with a tweet Wednesday morning: “Really?” he asked her.

The Harvard-bound 18-year-old and his classmates have become recurring targets for conservatives and guns-rights groups in wake of the shooting at their Parkland, Fla., school.

Did Hogg participate in the bullying of his classmate that drove him to shoot up his classmates?

The Covington kids did nothing wrong. Hogg chose to put himself out there repeatedly as the face of a political cause. This isn’t rocket science.

He wasn’t even at the school at the time and I believe and I will always believe that he was involved in egging Cruz on before the fact so the shooting would occur(Which is why he was NOT at school that day) and Hogg could get his 15 min of fame..there is no camera that douche bag doesn’t like

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty. It’s the Regressive way.

Of course this little creep would try again to get attention from the Leftist media. It’s like being addicted to drinking toilet water.

Does he see a double standard in the MSM deification of him, and the demonization of the Covington kids?

We live in two different countries within the same boundaries. And there isn’t any way to reconcile our differences. There just isn’t.

We need a peaceful divorce.

My bad. CBS even reported that he wasn't, but retracted it. From reading all these articles, it appears that he was hiding in a closet.

“Parkland survivor”

Give me a freakin’ break. Hogg was not even in the school when the shooting occurred. He does not represent the students at the school. Hogg is a creation of the media.

Hogg is a spoiled brat who attacked legal gun owners and the NRA. He lied about his own experience at the time of the shooting. He has been a media darling and is now going to Harvard.

Hogg is a self-absorbed opportunist who used the murders of 17 classmates to promote himself. Nobody should gie him the time of day.

Just looked at his Twitter. Not even ONE tweet (yet) against the threats made against Covington Catholic H.S.

But he did retweet a picture of Nathan Phillips with a caption about hatred and ignorance.

The difference:

Hogg pushed his way into the limelight vs. the Covington kids who had the limelight pushed on them.

The similarity:

media lying. Of course in the case of Hogg, they were lying to help spin his narrative and in the Covington case they were lying in order to smear the kids.
