On Monday, Parkland shooting survivor and outspoken gun control activist David Hogg compared both police and Trump’s administration officials to fascists, basically saying during World War II his grandfather fought with “antifa” against similar forces.
David Hogg Tweets Something REALLY Stupid
Hogg suggested that Trump was calling his grandfather and other World War II veterans “terrorists” when the President said Antifa should be designated as a terrorist organization.
“My grandpa was part of the Antifa forces in WWII sad Donald Trump has labeled him and his fellow vets as terrorists,” Hogg tweeted.

It didn’t take long for Twitter to torch Hogg for making such an outlandish statement.
For starters, actual Antifa vandalized the World War II memorial.
The memorial to your grandfather and other WWII vets was defaced by Antifa, you clown. https://t.co/bGI9eZtIva

Twitter Takes Hogg Down Hard
The takes kept coming.
David Hogg’s grandfather would probably be attacked by Antifa today. https://t.co/A98NeDUQaw

Did the veterans in World War II spraypaint "ACAB" on the rocks on Omaha Beach? https://t.co/brdFKrY6Jr

Pretty sure your WW2 veteran grandfather didn’t fly to Europe to loot TVs with the Allied forces https://t.co/vJyOgVmOAk

You do know Antifa is fighting the US Military, right?
So your grandfather was fighting — himself and his brothers in arms?
This is a really dumb tweet. https://t.co/riHFpdTAkS

The idea that what is today antifa is some long-heralded fighting force, dating back to the days of Nazi Germany, and concerned now with fighting fascism, is painfully, painfully stupid. https://t.co/QTug2ShmK4

Didn’t realize Antifa had a draft, or swore allegiance to the Constitution, or was funded by taxpayers, or dropped atomic bombs.
GTFO with this nonsense. https://t.co/iAFsxSgwyk

I don't claim to be a student of WWII, but I don't remember any of the Allied forces swarming American cities and destroying black-owned businesses. https://t.co/UPkjcvGcTh

And don’t forget, David Hogg is supposed to be a highly-educated Harvard boy!
A Harvard education just isn't what it used to be. https://t.co/ZtE7RN2lGJ

Make No Mistake: Antifa are Terrorists
Trump has claimed the far-left Antifa movement is responsible for violent demonstrations across America, where looting and mayhem continues to unfold. Every individual and business has become their target.
In other words, they are carrying out terrorism.
The protests are supposed to be raising awareness about police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, but for a group like Antifa, it has appeared to be a grand opportunity to hijack this cause for their own socialist, anti-capitalist agenda.
It has also been an opportunity for some left activists to say some really stupid things that they might soon regret.
Ask David Hogg.
