LOL Ok, so I chuckled at this for sure. David Hogg tried taking on Alex Jones, of Infowars fame and I’m really not sure who the winner here is.
It all started with a recently removed video Jones made titled: “David Hogg Can’t Remember His Lines In TV Interview.” THEN BOOM!
David: “Hey Alex Jones you seem to be really confused as to what I do/who I am I’d love to come on and clear some of this up because clearly as a shit journalist you can’t clearly.”
David: “Wait didn’t you get sued for pedaling lies about the survivors and victims of another school shooting? Clearly someone didn’t learn from their mistakes”
David: “I might not be great with spelling or punctuation but unlike Jones do my research and don’t sell snake oil to the masses. #Jonesbrandsnakeoil”

So Jones did what we know he’d do… and invite Hogg on his program NUMEROUS times. Like Hogg said, let’s clear some of this up.
Alex: “Hi David, it would be fantastic for you to come on. I would be very thankful for that. I want to set the record straight and clear things up between you and I.”
Alex: “@davidhogg111 I would love to have you on today to clear up some of the disinformation that has been put out about my statements concerning the tragedy. I notice you’re calling me a “shit journalist” and “snake oil” salesman when I have never called you any disparaging names.”
He then challenged Hogg’s notion that he had been sued.
Alex: “@davidhogg111 Also I have never been sued by survivors of any school shooting. Please stop the defamation. My YouTube channel with 2+ billion views has now been frozen after CNN lobbied for it to be closed in your name.”

Alex: “David, you are welcome to come on the show. Are you aware that CNN is using you as part of a lobbying campaign to shut down Infowars? You are now a public figure & activist. You are not immune to criticism. We know your views on the 2nd amendment. Do you support the 1st?”
And you already know what Hogg did, he declined. For all of Jones’ shouting conspiracy theory self-righteousness, someone like Hogg couldn’t hold up to it.
Or… maybe I’m wrong and Hogg could hold his own against Jones?
I will not speak to anyone that has had disgusting remarks to victims of mass shootings in the past. I sent that tweet without realizing just how awful so many people have been to victims and witnesses of these events in the past.
