Attention Hogg: Activist Finds a Way to Make Charlie Kirk’s Assassination All About Him

Some people need to learn when to sit down and shut up. One of those is, unsurprisingly, David Hogg. After his scandal-ridden yet brief tenure as a deputy chairman of the DNC and the fact that the gun control organization he helped found is floundering, you’d think he’d take a step back and re-evaluate a few things about his life and self-selected career.

But the truth is that Hogg is likely addicted to attention. He can’t stand the idea of being viewed by anyone as irrelevant, even if he already is.

That translates to him trying to make anything and everything about him, which seems to include Charlie Kirk’s assassination. (Language warning)

As the nation grieves the brutal, targeted assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, the contrast between how the Right and the Left respond to tragedy could not be more apparent.

While Kirk’s widow, Erika, stood in the very studio where her husband once broadcast truth to millions, declaring that he died “witnessing for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” gun control activist David Hogg took to social media to demand his own hypothetical death be weaponized politically—before his “blood runs cold.”

Hogg’s profanity-laced thread on X made one thing plain: he doesn’t want prayers, unity, or reflection. He wants fundraising, legislation, and retribution. 

“If I ever get killed by one of these right-wingers politicize the f*** out of my death… raise as much money as you can… and use it to primary Dems who refuse to support gun laws,” Hogg wrote. 

If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the fuck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible and raise as much money as you can to primary Dems who refuse to support gun laws.

“I’m saying this because I know Fox News will say it’s wrong to politicize my death and it’s too soon. Fuck that. It’s too late,” he added. 

Wow.

Just…wow.

David, my boy, you need to understand something right here and now. You can give permission in the event of your death if you want. The thing is, this isn’t about you. You’re not the one who was killed. Charlie Kirk was, and he was killed by someone who agreed with a lot of the same things you spout on X. You don’t get a say about what happens with him, his death, or his family.

People are allowed to grieve. People are allowed to try and process what they just watched, either live or on one of the videos going around the internet at the moment. They’re allowed to ask for some time to deal with this before we get into a political discussion.

You don’t want that in the event you get killed? Whatever. 

Right now, though, it’s not. About. You.

Honestly, what’s wrong with you? How psychologically broken are you to actually think this is a take you should express here and now, even as a wife grieves her murdered, martyred husband?

Do you think this is some brave stance you’re taking? Do you really think this somehow makes you noble or just?

All it does is expose you as the same petulant child who first stood outside of his high school to make the murder of his schoolmates all about him.

This isn’t the first time you’ve said something like this, but the truth is that no one cares. We don’t care that you want your death politicized because even that isn’t about you. It’s about your family, your friends, and even your supporters, such as they are. It’s about respecting them enough to make your death about your death first.

The time for politics will come. It always does.

But the world doesn’t revolve around you, your beliefs, or your desires.

The sooner you come to understand that, the sooner you can function in your chosen profession without pissing off both enemies and allies alike.
