David "Camera" Hogg To Put Off College While Pursuing a Career in Television Demagoguery

I guess he's getting an early jump on his chosen career.

Makes sense -- he already knows everything college would teach him anyway: Republicans suck, Tweeting is the same as writing analyses and arguments, and being outraged by everything is easy money.

The #NeverAgain leader and high school senior says he's postponing college for a year to engage in gun-reform activism, focusing mostly on getting students and others registered to vote for the elections and raising awareness about gun lobbies.

Hogg also told The Associated Press on Monday that he's not sure what to choose for a career. He says he’d like to spend time figuring that out, potentially doing several internships. He says he's interested in politics, journalism and environmental science -- and could run for office someday.

Oh, he's got a Messiah complex, you say? I didn't see that coming. You never see that in angry, self-loving young men.

He also said this bullshit, in which another guest ranted crazily about the RUSSIA-Owns-the-NRA conspiracy theory, and Anderson Cooper failed to object.

But CNN really hates conspiracy theories. At least, the conspiracy theories it itself isn't propagating, Alex-Jones-style.

But back to the narcissistic camera Hogg:

HOGG: "I think people in the situation that are really scared would be the NRA. This is the first time they had the president and the vice president come out to the annual convention for the NRA. What they are seeing here is, what they are worried because the support we've been getting and the support we'll have in mid-terms. Because like it or not, we don't care if you are exact or Republican or Democrat, if you are supported with the NRA, you don't stand with kids you stand with the gun manufacturers and the people making money off this fear and tragedy that is perpetuating itself."

Child, barely anyone still knows who you are.
