In a video whose style employs scare tactics and lighting similar to those put out by National Rifle Associations TV arm, Parkland survivor David Hogg calls out the president and the GOP for acquiescing to the gun lobby.
What if our politicians werent the b*tch of the NRA? Hogg asked before rolling a video of President Donald Trump telling fellow Republicans theyre 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.

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