Michigan GOP candidate calls Parkland survivor David Hogg a 'crisis actor' who is paid by CNNElizabeth Preza 20 APR 2018 AT 11:20 ET
An Allegan County Clerk Bob Genetski, whos also the Republican candidate for Michigans 26th district state senate seat called Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg a crisis actor, the Holland Sentinel reports.
The comment appeared in a tweet Genetski sent shortly after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School, where 17 people were killed. Since the shooting, student organizers have led a gun-control movement thats included the historic March for Our Lives and a National School Walkout being held Friday.
Genetski who served three terms as a Michigan state representative, told The Sentinel he personally [believes] David Hogg is being used by CNN because he fits their liberal narrative of Big Government Solutions to the Parkland tragedy.

OP
Isn't it the same (or similar) group of issues as with the Sandy Hook parents' lawsuit?

and offer to sue Genetski for Hogg for free. Just let's root out the weeds when they start popping up!

Ignore some of this. Focus on more prevalent, dire problems.

(28,270 posts)5. Well we have ignored the lies of Fox and Hate radio for years
and it gave us Trump and a fascist republican party that sold us out to the Russians.
The time to ignore these pigs is over. Now is the time to fight back as David Hogg and the kids from Parkland are doing.
The are the leaders of the future, if this country is gonna have a future.
