In an article headlined “David Hogg lobs profanity-laced Epstein accusation at Trump,” Fox News reports the survivor of the 2018 Parkland school massacre-turned-activist-turned-briefly Vice Chair of the DNC David Hogg told the propaganda network’s reporter that “Biden should have released” the list of dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s clients and that “Trump absolutely should, but he won’t because he’s on the goddamn list.” Yes, “goddamn” is the “profanity” billed in Fox’s headline.

Asked for a statement to respond to Hogg’s comments, White House spokesworm Harrison Fields said “No one, including his own party, cares what that pipsqueak has to say, and most of the country would rather hear nails on a chalkboard than the Gen Z nonsense he pushes for attention.”

And that was the extent of the White House’s official comment in response to David Hogg saying that Trump won’t release the Epstein filed because he’s in them: He’s a “pipsqueak.” Seems kind of um, wanting, right? Like yeah, Hogg pissed off a lot of people and was run out of his post but…

Actually there is no but to that response. They just dismissed his argument as if it were his alone and not that of other people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan and a shit ton of those other “bro” podcasters who were so important to MAGA for a few months last year when they were helping Trump lie to the very “Gen Z” audience Fields also just kind of mocked. It’s almost as though this was like Fox News staging the quote from Hogg so they could get the White House on the record so then they could tell their audience to ignore the question and focus on who’s asking it. No this guy who’s asking it and not the other guys who have far more reach than him. Forget them. They’re not cool anymore.
