Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has claimed that most Republicans are “white supremacists” and “conspiracy theorists” during a new interview.
On Thursday, the former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student appeared on MSNBC ‘s “The Beat With Ari Melber.”
The anti-Second Amendment activist claimed that “conspiracy theorists and white supremacists” are no longer the fringe but becoming the majority in the Republican Party.
Completely unchallenged by the host, he went on to describe his claimed vision of the GOP as “terrifying.”
While criticizing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Hogg said, “We have seen one of the most remarkable and truly honestly a horrific change in the Republican Party over the past 30 years.
“I would say it really started in the ’90s, but you could even go back to the primary of Barry Goldwater and the New Conservative Movement way back in the 20th century, as I study my history classes in college.”

“But it’s scary,” Hogg continued.
“It’s really scary because people used to think they’re mostly a group of good people that truly want what’s best for the country.
“Yeah, there is a fringe of people that may or may not be white supremacists, but that’s a very small minority of people.”
“But now what we’re seeing is there are actual conspiracy theorists and white supremacists that are becoming the party,” he added.
“And the fringe are those people that were originally, you know, believed to be the majority.
“It’s truly terrifying.”
Elsewhere, Hogg vowed to take on MyPillow, founded by conservative Trump supporter Mike Lindell.
He announced that he and a partner are starting a company that will “prove that progressives can make a better pillow.”

Hogg tweeted that he and software developer William LeGate “are going to prove that progressives can make a better pillow, run a better business and help make the world a better place while doing it.”
“We will have the name announced soon but we need to get through the legal process of trademarking as (sic) so on,” he added.
Hogg confirmed to Axios that taking on Lindell is his goal.
“Mike isn’t going to know what hit him,” Hogg told the outlet.
“This pillow fight is just getting started,” he added.
The teen noted that his new venture is expected to launch in six months or so with the goal of selling “$1 million in product within our first year.”
“[W]e would like to do it sooner but we have strict guidelines on sustainability and [U.S.] based Union producers,” Hogg explained.
Lindell did not appear phased by the news, telling Axios in response:
“Good for them….nothing wrong with competition that does not infringe on someone’s patent.”
