PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after feuding on Twitter with a Parkland school shooting survivor.
Boebert responded to David Hogg, a former Florida high school student who survived a mass school shooting nearly three years ago. Hogg tweeted that Rep. Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene were threats and that Rep. Kevin McCarthy should take a stand against the pair of newly elected Republican Congress members.
In her response, Boebert says, "We all saw how tough you were when questioned face to face."
Boebert's statement appears to be referring to a video of now Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively questioning Hogg near the U.S. Capitol as he was in Washington advocating for stricter gun laws. The video was reportedly filmed by Greene in March of 2019, before she was elected to Congress.
.@mtgreenee, is this you harassing @davidhogg111 weeks after the Parkland shooting, that my daughter was killed in & he was in? Calling him a coward for ignoring your insanity. I will answer all of your questions in person. Get ready to record again.pic.twitter.com/aQjL74x7kh
