Ex-GOP lawmaker suggests 'left-wing groups' are coaching Fla. shooting survivors
Source: The Hill
Former Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) suggested that the survivors of last week's shooting at a high school in Florida are being coached on their activism by left-wing groups.
Kingston, who served on Trump's campaign, was asked on CNN whether he thinks the students who survived the shooting are acting of their own volition in their calls for gun control.
"I think it's a horrible tragedy, and I am heartbroken that young people have gone through this, and I hope that it never happens again," he said during an interview on CNN.
"I also know that their sorrow can very easily be hijacked by left-wing groups who have an agenda. ... Do we really think 17-year-olds, on their own, are going to plan a nationwide rally?"
He said advocacy groups often spring into action after news events.

First and foremost FUCK YOU Kingston
Second, to absolutely say that these young men and woman ..............quote:
"Kingston said he doesn't doubt the sincerity of the children, adding that he knows they are heartbroken by what occurred.
But Kingston said the teens "probably do not have the logistical ability to plan a nationwide rally without it being hijacked by groups that already had the preexisting anti-gun agenda."

FUCK YOU KINGSTON
Kingston, I protested against the Vietnam War, when I was seventeen..............asshole, because I knew I was going to be fodder for war pigs, I couldn't vote, but I could get my ass shipped to a fucking war...............
You on the other hand was on the campaign committee to elect a fucking draft dodger, you were also on that fucking campaign committee during the Russian shit, and you were on a campaign and possibly know of the Russian shit...................
My question is, why are you being paid to be fucking commentator on CNN, you should be fucking fired asshole. In fact maybe a petition to have you removed in that position is appropriate, you are being a given a platform to spew your vile worthless shit, because that what it is SHIT ..........................

These kids are impressive, and are more grown up than a lot of adults I know and see.
Coached? No, I don't think so. If anything, these kids are coaching him instead, in their attempts to deal w/ the issue of guns and their unfortunate use in committing such violent crimes against them.
Incredible kids...about to graduate high school and embark on their next major step in life...
to experience this (as well as all of the other kids tragically involved in other similar crimes in the past).

As long as it is being inspired and led by a group of students from the school.
Next campaign for him, maybe he can do everything himself. Why should he need the help, he's a grown man.
