Parkland High School massacre survivor and activist David Hogg responded to a video that surfaced this week of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) following him on the streets of Washington D.C.

The gun-control activist said in an interview with CNN on Thursday that the controversial representative “would rather choose to protect guns than children.”

“None of us want to be doing this but we have to because sadly corrupted elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Greene are in Congress and would rather choose to protect guns than children,” he said.

Mr Hogg added: “It’s just a horrific reality. Can I just point out how ridiculous it is that it’s on the survivors of gun violence to stand up to gun violence and be the ones to try to end it.”

In the video posted to Rep Greene’s YouTube account in January 2020, she can be seen following Mr Hogg down the street in Washington DC pushing him to answer questions about “red flag” laws.

Asked by host Alisyn Camerota whether he took Rep Greene’s remark in the video that she was carrying a gun for protection as a threat Mr Hogg responded: “Oh absolutely. But you know what I was saying to myself Alisyn is that if they shoot me they prove my point. And the reality is they can’t kill a movement.”
