BACKFIRE: Anti-Gun Group Faces Backlash For Politicizing Vigil For School Shooting

The radical gun control group Moms Demand Action, founded by far-left activist Shannon Watts, is facing mounting backlash on social media after the organization politicized a vigil on Wednesday night for the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting.

The Daily Wire reported Thursday morning that students stormed out of the vigil after Democrat politicians and Moms Demand Actions' Laura Reeves "heavily politicized" the event, in the words of a student who was in attendance.

Reeves suggested to students that they should be like her and work to elect anti-gun Democrat lawmakers and that they needed to register people to vote in the upcoming election, lead walkouts and demonstrations, write op-eds, raise money, and use social media to push for gun control.

KDVR reporter Ashley Michels, who was at the event, tweeted: "According to students and parents at HRHS vigil, students stormed out in protest because they say gun control advocates were trying to get STEM students to talk about gun control policies during the vigil instead of talking about their classmates."

Hunter Pollack, whose sister Meadow was killed last year in the Parkland shooting, tweeted: "Democrats couldn’t even wait until the body was buried to politicize the shooting; pushing their useless gun control agenda."
