David Hogg’s 15 minutes of fame are over but he’s trying his best to get an extension. He announced a new round of boycotts this week. This is apparently his thing now. Will people even pay attention to this?
The Washington Times reports:
David Hogg calls for boycotts of Blackrock, Vanguard Group
After starting an advertiser boycott of Fox News Channel host Laura Ingraham, gun-control activist David Hogg has set his sights on two new targets — iconic gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson and its capital backers.
In a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Hogg sicced his 764,000 Twitter followers on five investment companies, singling out two most of all — Blackrock and Vanguard Group.
.@blackrock and @Vanguard_Group are two of the biggest investors in gun manufacturers; if you use them, feel free to let them know. Thanks 😉

“[email protected] and @Vanguard_Group are two of the biggest investors in gun manufacturers; if you use them, feel free to let them know,” he tweeted with a winking emoji.
In one follow-up tweet he used the hashtags #BoycottBlackrock and #BoycottVanguard.
And in another, he took a picture of a chart apparently taken from the Nasdaq page for American Outdoor Brands Corporation, which was formerly known as Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation.
Maybe Hogg should pay more attention to his high school studies. You know, like other children.
