Parkland survivor David Hogg: "What if our politicians weren't the b*tch of the NRA?"

In a video whose style employs scare tactics and lighting similar to those put out by National Rifle Association’s TV arm, Parkland survivor David Hogg calls out the president and the GOP for acquiescing to the gun lobby.

“What if our politicians weren’t the b*tch of the NRA?” Hogg asked before rolling a video of President Donald Trump telling fellow Republicans they’re “all afraid of the NRA.”

“What if we all voted and said this is not OK?” the Marjory Stoneman Douglas student asked in the video meant as a promotion for the March 24 event “March For Our Lives.”

Cameron and Emma too, but this David Hogg... he's super special.

I love this boldness and confidence. He will be a great future leader, of the Kennedy type.

And they're taking all the pages that they've learned from the adults who've used it and will wield it like a scalpel and cut deep.
