Is there anyone or anything that professional ranter, former progressive pillow company executive, and anti-gun activist David Hogg hasn’t blamed for gun crime?

Like Biden saying he met with Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir during 1967’s Six-Day War, in which he claimed he served as a “liaison” between Israel and Egypt.
