Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School — where 17 people were shot and killed two weeks ago — is quickly gaining visibility as a gun violence prevention activist. And on Saturday, the teen’s already powerful impact became even more apparent as she surpassed the NRA in Twitter followers.
The 18-year-old rose to prominence after giving an 11-minute speech at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale two days after the mass shooting, and for standing up to NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch at a town hall hosted by CNN.
This weekend, Twitter users noticed that Gonzalez had more Twitter followers than both the NRA and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch’s official accounts.
“In just one week, Stoneman Douglas student @Emma4Change now has more Twitter followers than NRA spokeswoman @DLoesch. A movement is happening,” wrote Twitter user Matt McDermott.

“Standing up to”
As if Dana was the one who was being uncivil.
Fake Followers, just like Hillary had. The polls and social media gave her a 95% chance to win the presidency based on their fake numbers.
Two weeks from now the NRA will have thousnds if not hundreds of thousnds new members and no one will remeber this littlle libbots name!!!
Who’s funding these ‘children’?? I have an idea..
Be afraid...be very afraid......

Yeah, she “stood up to” Dana only to be schooled; baldy just complied and nodded like a good little skull full of mush.
The same people who follow Kylie Jenner.
Buy Twitter followers, 1,000 for $5. This entire thing is being financed by outside groups.

Who believes this nonsense?
How many fake followers do politicians have?
Who made twitter an authority?
NRA and NRA supporters are not “twitter” people, so much as are millenials.
Would be interesting to spend 5 and see if it actually works.
Well l am a little concerned all these brain washed little shits are going to vote in November. We better turn out big or it’s going to be ugly.
Hey dad....they’re going to outlaw your most prized hunting rifles. Aren’t you proud of me?
