March 1, 2018

Florida school shooting survivor turned Democratic activist David Hogg challenged Texas radio host Alex Jones to a debate Tuesday on Twitter only to back out after Jones accepted.

Hey Alex Jones you seem to be really confused as to what I do/who I am I'd love to come on and clear some of this up because clearly as a shit journalist you can't clearly.

Wait 🤔didn't you get sued for pedaling lies about the survivors and victims of another school shooting? Clearly someone didn't learn from their mistakes

Alex Jones quickly responded saying he’d love to have Hogg on his show:

I will not speak to anyone that has had disgusting remarks to victims of mass shootings in the past. I sent that tweet without realizing just how awful so many people have been to victims and witnesses of these events in the past.
