Don Jr. ‘likes’ survivor bashers

-

Donald Trump Jr. “liked” two tweets attacking a teen survivor of the mass school shooting in Florida — including one that linked to a story suggesting the boy was fabricated by the “mainstream media.”

The tweets in question note that David Hogg, 17, is the son of a retired FBI agent, and charge that he has slammed President Trump and defended the FBI because Trump has repeatedly criticized the feds. “VIDEO: Outspoken Trump-Hating School Shooting Survivor is Son of FBI Agent; MSM Helps Prop Up Incompeten­t Bureau,” tweeted a user called Thomas Paine.

The second tweet Trump Jr. “liked” came from Graham Ledger, who hosts conservati­ve radio and cable shows.

“Could it be that this student is running cover for his dad who Works as an FBI agent at the Miami field office Which botched tracking down the Man behind the Valentine day massacre?” Ledger tweeted.

Hogg, in a statement to BuzzFeed News, said Trump Jr. (inset) and those attacking him made him sick.

“I think it’s a testament to the sick immaturity and broken state of our government, when these people feel the need to peddle conspiraci­es about people that were in a school shooting where 17 people died and it just makes me sick,” Hogg said.

Meanwhile, a Florida state rep fired one of his aides Tuesday after it became public that the man sent a bizarre e-mail to a local reporter that claimed students widely reported to be survivors of the attack were actually “crisis actors.”
