David Hogg: Greene should apologize to families of shooting victims that have 'permanently empty bed

Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg on Friday urged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to issue an apology directly to the families who lost loved ones and now have a “permanently empty bedroom,” after reports surfaced that she doubted mass shootings.
Greene has faced backlash in recent days over unearthed remarks made on social media in which she said the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 that killed 17 people was staged. She was also filmed taunting Hogg and other survivors who were in Washington, D.C., advocating for gun reform, specifically calling Hogg a “coward.”
Friday, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota asked Hogg about Greene’s previous remarks in which she said she could relate to his experience because she said that she was also a survivor of a school shooting.
The March for Our Lives co-founder said he was less concerned with the statements directed at him, and more so “the real people that she offended, which are the families in Parkland and Las Vegas and Sandy Hook that have a permanently empty bedroom, that have a permanently empty place at the dinner table.”
