Today’s heated panel discussion on CNN’s New Day was moderated by Alisyn Camerota, it featured two former Republican congressmen — Jack Kingston and David Jolly — and no one gave an inch.

Camerota began the conversation by bringing up a dismissive tweet Kingston recently posted about the calls for gun control from American students in light of the school shooting in Parkland, FL.

When asked if he seriously thinks these students are all tools for leftists, Kingston answered that “their sorrow can very easily be hijacked by left-wing groups … Do we really think 17-year-olds on their own are going to plan a nation-wide rally?”

Camerota, who spent the last few days in Florida interviewing survivors, hit back by saying the students she met were “wildly motivated” and not “indoctrinated by some left wing group” like Kingston thinks.

Kingston said he wasn’t doubting the students’ sincerity, but Camerota countered with “yes you do Jack,” and said “that’s just silly” to presume students can’t take the initiative.

7. You see Jack there are these things called phones and the internet

and these kids know how to use them for all kinds of things. Seriously go find a 17 year old and they'll show you.

This is their new tactic. Soros, "who's paying them?", "they're being exploited!!", FBI plants
I've heard or seen one or more of those over the last few days.

Impressive kids if you ask me.
