    Yep. Something many of us have been saying for 20 years, but some have only just realized. (And then there's @Baron Scicluna, who still sees no issue.)

    "Grab 'em by the pussy," said the future President, who later called neo-Nazis "very fine people."

    At this point, the media is just exploiting these kids.

    How about going just a couple of days without booking the dame two or three kids, and forcing them to react to the latest news cycle?

    David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, told Morning Joe on Monday that he thinks Gov. Rick Scott should be “held accountable” for the failure of three sheriff’s deputies to confront the gunman.

    Law enforcement sources confirmed to news outlets that three deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office remained outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High as the shooter opened fire, eventually killing 17 people.

    Hogg, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, said the news is “raising concern” in his community, before accusing elected officials of attempting the blame the shooting on “bureaucracy.”

    “They’re in charge of them,” Hogg said of those elected officials. “This is their fault.”

    “They should have been regulating them,” he continued. “I’m not going to allow them to pressure these people because at the end of the day it’s their fault. These elected officials are the boss of these sheriff personnel and just like the president is the boss of the FBI, Governor Rick Scott is essentially the boss of Scott Israel, the sheriff, and as such he should be held accountable.

    “He can’t just blame this on the bureaucracy and expect to get re-elected.”

    Hogg went on to praise high school football coach Aaron Feis, who died shielding students from the gunman, “unlike those cowardly Broward County Sheriff officials.”

    “Sadly, these are a few individuals that did not conduct their job correctly, but I don’t think it’s right that Governor Rick Scott is trying to blame this on the bureaucracy in an effort to get reelected.”

    Not at all. It's sad.

    This kid is well spoken, but this isn't, and shouldn't be, his full time job. He's saying what the media wants to hear, so they keep booking him, but as the new information comes out, he's now contradicting himself, while trying to stay on script.

    A 16-year-old kid, who's just gone through a traumatic experience, shouldn't be in a position where he's just another partisan political commentator.

    You sound concerned.
