As we told you earlier today, David Hogg got a lesson in fairly recent history after slamming “US military imperialism”:

‘Alexa, remind David Hogg who was president from 2012-2016’ https://t.co/SGUSPf53i3 — Twitchy Team (@TwitchyTeam) April 24, 2019

Alexa, what does US military imperialism look like? https://t.co/p0awbnnDgO — David Hogg (@davidhogg111) April 23, 2019

Purple Heart recipient, American Warrior Initiative co-founder and author Sean Parnell served up a quick schooling for Hogg:

Alexa, what does a beta male look like? Oh, & one more lesson you won’t likely learn at Harvard. We fight to liberate & protect. Not occupy & take.

We fight in defense of freedom worldwide. Wise up kiddo. https://t.co/qHSUqoWpdw — Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) April 23, 2019

When Hogg says things like this he impugns the legacy of my men who fought & bled on foreign soil for the freedom of others & asked nothing in return for it. — Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) April 23, 2019

When people thoughtless criticize policy w/ nonsensical talking points, how do you thing that makes men & women serving on the front lines feel? It cheapens the altruism behind their service.

What Hogg said isn’t fair to those who lost loved ones in support of global freedom. — Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) April 23, 2019

MSNBC analyst and Time Mag contributor Elise Jordan took up a defensive position around one of the Left’s favorite gun control activists:

Can you imagine how low your self-esteem has to be to go around hate-tweeting a rising college freshman? https://t.co/6b6yuRJsoZ — Elise Jordan (@Elise_Jordan) April 24, 2019

Parnell wasn’t buying that:

Hell, I had 20 men that were his age getting shot at & wounded everyday.

He’s entered the political arena time & again spewing nonsensical garbage. In this case, garbage that impugns the legacy of our troops. I think Hogg can stand to take some well deserved criticism. https://t.co/jPXH1SF8wi — Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) April 24, 2019

Liberals and the mainstream media (which is often redundant) need to decide what they want Hogg to be: A national figure and anti-gun activist, or a college freshman who should be left alone.

The media made his voice critical in changing laws that effect us all. At that point, he is legitimately open to criticism. That's how it works. https://t.co/Hz2KJlgnkt — Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) April 24, 2019

If you didn't want him to be a national political activist that is subject to public criticism, then maybe you shouldn't have elevated him to that status to begin with. https://t.co/hp4TYAlexQ — neontaster (@neontaster) April 24, 2019

Bingo!

David Hogg is a political activist. If he can't handle disagreement, he should try something else. — Some guy tweeted something ??‍♂️ (@jtLOL) April 24, 2019

“Wise up kiddo,” is hate speech now? I can’t keep up. — Smirque de Sar (@FoundersGirl) April 24, 2019

Hogg is an adult who chose to become an activist on the public stage and use his platform to say vitriolic and stupid things. Criticism directed towards him is perfectly acceptable and richly deserved. https://t.co/TwYQznbUgY — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) April 24, 2019

He's David Hogg! When you enter the political arena to the degree that he has, you lose your cover or leeway https://t.co/HZ58osiv72 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) April 24, 2019

The college freshman in question spends every waking moment attacking anyone that isn’t a commie, so let’s stop pretending he’s just minding his own business. — Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) April 24, 2019

Sure, Elise. The problem is @SeanParnellUSA, not the adult with nearly a million followers tweeting out ignorant drivel about "military imperialism." It's so "imperialistic" to offer aid to allies like France and help African nations in their counter-terrorism efforts. https://t.co/JXv7B8i6am — Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) April 24, 2019

He's fair game. Stop running interference for the moron. — JWF (@JammieWF) April 24, 2019

Wait.

Did we raise the age of acceptable criticism for public comments again? https://t.co/9tAxeXSzfg — Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) April 24, 2019

Apparently.
