Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure

[Eric the Green]

The vast right-wing conspiracy will go to any length to protect their guns, their money and their privileges. Even Some Republican lawmakers have disavowed this latest attempt to mislead and fool the people. David Hogg is so articulate and so smart in discussing the gun issue on CNN and NBC's Meet the Press that the conspiracy theorists are calling him an actor. My point is that they are doing this because he is smart and articulate. Dumb fucks like Alex Jones can't beat him in the debate, so they resort to trying to discredit him and making him a target of their fakery.

Florida lawmaker’s aide fired after saying outspoken Parkland students are actors
Ben Kelly emailed a reporter with the stunning assertion.

Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, appear on CNN.





Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the full version of events that occurred Tuesday since the original post about how Parkland students were coming under attack for their outspokenness. Hours later, an aide to a state representative sent an unsolicited email to a reporter that played on a conspiracy theory.

It bubbled up from the darkest online corners then began to take off: conspiracy theories about Parkland students who've spent the past week on TV demanding action on the gun violence that killed 17 and reawakened a national debate.

By late Tuesday afternoon, the conspiracy climbed to a new level when an aide to state Rep. Shawn Harrison, R-Tampa, was fired after emailing a Tampa Bay Times reporter with a stunning assertion: "Both kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crisis when they happen."

Benjamin Kelly referred to a picture attached to a Times story, posted online hours earlier, about how Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students were drawing attacks for their outspokenness. The picture showed David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez speaking on CNN.

Asked for backup to his claim, Kelly sent another email — again from his official myfloridahouse.gov account — that included a link to a conspiracy video on YouTube. The video showed Hogg in a news clip from California over a dispute with a lifeguard involving a boogie board. Hogg had posted a video of the confrontation with the lifeguard on YouTube and it "went viral," a news reporter said. Now, conspiracy theorists have questioned what Hogg was doing in another state, some branding him a "crisis actor."

Wrote Kelly to the Times: "There is a clip on you tube that shows Mr. Hogg out in California. (I guess he transferred?)"

Reaction on social media was strident.

Jaclyn Corin, the school's 11th-grade class president, wrote: "We are KIDS — not actors. We are KIDS that have grown up in Parkland all of our lives. We are KIDS who feared for our lives while someone shot up our school. We are KIDS working to prevent this from happening again. WE ARE KIDS."
