      Defaming the Sandy Hook families was a fringe Alex Jones thing. Defaming the Parkland kids is much more pervasive on the right, including among some Never Trump Republicans. https://twitter.com/JessicaValenti/status/978459168293228544 …

      It's almost like you're now smearing Never Trumpers because Sarah got a story wrong.

      I agree anyone can get story wrong (and linked to Red State's update) but there's a wider pattern here which is regrettable that goes beyond one wrong story.

          There was at least one local news outlet in the midwest reporting the comet pizza story as a real thing, then when the affiliate took down videos of the report from their website it added fuel to the conspiracy theory

          I agree with the kids on substance and disagree on tactics (and the behavior of the adults around them). But I haven't seen NTers "smearing" the kids. The usual Trumpers, yes, but (and I am really asking) who'd you have in mind?

          What's a good tactic then? Writing books and Tweeting about it isn't going to fix the gun problem.

          Their friends were murdered. Over 150 other people have been murdered in their own schools in recent memory; many more outside. Columbine had armed security, and these adults' best idea almost 20 years later is armed security. These kids' behavior *is* the pushback.

          It took a high degree of prejudice and indifference get this story wrong in this way. I’m not sure it’s being appreciated what thinking was required for this honest mistake to be possible to make. It’s not all good just because it wasn’t *deliberately* inaccurate.
