Florida House aide fired after claiming the shooting victims are 'actors'

You know, it's amusing and entertaining on here when I read y'alls conspiracy posts. But this was an actual aide to a GOP politician. Damn. There are kooks that obviously REALLY believe stuff like this. Scary.

An aide to a Florida House representative was fired Tuesday after he said that Parkland students who were speaking out on gun control after Wednesday’s mass shooting were paid actors.

The aide to Republican Rep. Shawn Harrison, Benjamin Kelly, emailed Tampa Bay Times reporter Alex Leary to claim that two Marjory Stoneman Douglas students who appeared on CNN weren’t actually survivors of the attack.

"Both kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crisis when they happen,” Kelly reportedly emailed the newspaper. When the Tampa Bay reporter asked for proof, the House aide sent a follow-up email claiming the same student who appeared on CNN, David Hogg, was in another state hundreds of miles away.

"There is a clip on you tube that shows Mr. Hogg out in California. (I guess he transferred?)," Kelly's email reportedly stated.
