John,
Yesterday, “Parkland” was trending across the Internet, and it felt like a punch in the stomach. You probably saw the horrific viral video that surfaced of freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) harassing David Hogg, my fellow survivor, just weeks after he survived the Parkland shooting — a shooting that took the life of my younger sister, Carmen. In the video, Rep. Greene calls David Hogg a “coward” and aggressively berates him as he walks on the U.S. Capitol grounds to meet with legislators.
What’s worse – this vitriolic attack is not an isolated event for Rep. Greene, John. It is part of a pattern of years of abusive behavior against gun violence survivors like me and my family: She has used her platform to push vicious, baseless conspiracy theories that the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017, and even the Parkland shooting where my sister was killed in 2018 were staged.
I was sickened by this video and by Rep. Greene’s actions, so I’m personally asking for your help, John, to condemn this dangerous behavior — for my sister Carmen, for her 16 peers who were senselessly murdered in Parkland, for my family, and for families like mine.
