Parkland students David Hogg and Ryan Deitsch spoke with MSNBC’s Joy Reid this morning about their gun control advocacy and the responded they’ve gotten from public officials.

Deitsch talked about unsatisfying answers he got from Senator Marco Rubio during CNN’s town hall, while Hogg said Rubio is part of the “political side-steppers.”

Reid brought up this tweet from former Sheriff David Clarke:

The well ORGANIZED effort by Florida school students demanding gun control has GEORGE SOROS’ FINGERPRINTS all over it. It is similar to how he hijacked and exploited black people’s emotion regarding police use of force incidents into the COP HATING Black Lives Matter movement. pic.twitter.com/XDZ3bcwF6F — David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) February 20, 2018

Hogg responded, “You disgust me. Honestly. Seriously. We had friends that died there, and you’re trying to make this about you? You are absolutely disgusting, and you should be out there taking action, because we’re trying as hard as we can here, and we don’t deserve to be attacked by adults.”
