Perhaps the most visible face/audible voice of this tragedy's fallout is SD student David Hogg. Here the left has a veritable gold mine in that this young man is of the leftist ideology while also emerging unscathed in a shooting which took the lives of many of his fellow students. Here the left and media (PTR) can claim this young man has a platform to say whatever he wants (no matter how factually deficient or contradictory), whenever he wants. And because, according to leftists, Hogg et al have absolute moral authority, they're even immune from factual refutations.
The on-the-heels switch from “these eloquent young Americans are making a mass movement and must be extended the right to vote” to “why engage with weak and irrelevant little kids you meanie?” is transparent and cynical, and should be rejected as such. https://t.co/wU1vDbvvFG— Charles C.

Truth be told, I kind of feel bad for young Mr. Hogg. It's pretty obvious to me he's being used by an agenda-driven media who are likely aware he has a weak grasp on the goings-on in the world, yet he serves their purpose.
Here's what bothers me about David Hogg more than anything else -- there are multiple students from that high school who were victims who completely disagree with Hogg. But Hogg is the one getting all the attention telling much of the media what it wants to hear.— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) February 26, 2018
The child David Hogg has now revealed himself to be uninformed at best, a willing tool for his indoctrination at worst. All he's accomplishing now is discrediting the adults still taking him seriously.— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) February 26, 2018
It's all beyond disgusting at this point.
