Right wing website desperate to attack Parkland students tried to claim David Hogg wasn't on campus during shootingThe right wing website RedState has issued a correction after publishing an article Monday evening strongly suggesting student and mass shooting survivor David Hogg lied and was not even at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the Florida Valentine's Day massacre that took 17 of his friends, fellow students, and faculty members.
"New Video Casts Doubt on Whether David Hogg Was at School on the Day of the Shooting," was the article's headline.
Written by Sarah Rumpf, the article compared a CBS documentary video to an interview Hogg gave for a TIME magazine article.
At issue for Rumpf was Hogg discussing hiding in a school closet, but also riding his bike back to school. As Mediaite points out, Rumpf's main point of contention is it was not possible for him to have been in class and also have been at home, a three mile bike ride away from campus.
Unless you factor in that both things don't have to happen at once.
Rumpf's original attack on Hogg includes comments like, "Something doesnt add up here," "This does not make sense," and "It is not possible."
