That didn’t take long.
A short two months after announcing his intention to start a “progressive pillow company” to compete with MyPillow, gun control activist David Hogg has reversed course.
“Effective immediately, I have resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Over the next several months, I will be taking some time to focus on my studies in college and advance the gun violence prevention movement with March for Our Lives and personally,” he added.
Hogg left (or was removed from) the March for Our Lives board following his decision to get into the pillow industry. He received harsh criticism from some of his fellow anti-gun activists, and he responded vehemently on Twitter.
“To all those questioning my intentions sincerely fuck off I refuse to feel guilty about wanting to help people and feed myself and pay for therapy,” he said. “You may not agree with how I do it- but ultimately I know what my intentions are – to help people. I’ll prove it.”

You may not agree with how I do it- but ultimately I know what my intentions are – to help people.
I’ll prove it.
“Prove it” he has, but likely not in the way he intended.
It’s unclear whether Hogg will regain his position on the March for Our Lives board, and the organization did not respond by publication time to a GunsAmerica request for comment.
For his part, Hogg seems to believe he can jump back into the gun-ban game. He referenced his work as an “organizer” and “activist” multiple times in his announcement, and he insisted that he plans to continue his efforts fighting lawful gun ownership.

“While the tragedy and trauma I experienced does shape me, like many other survivors of gun violence, it is not even close to who I am fully and I am looking forward to using this time to grow myself as an organizer, friend, son, and brother,” he said.
Hogg also claimed his departure was not instigated by a falling out between himself and his business partner, William LeGate.
“After many discussions with William and my friends, family and mentors, I made the good faith decision to allow William to bring our vision to life without me,” he said. “I want to thank Will for his partnership and wish him absolutely nothing but success with the future of Good Pillow. The reasons for my departure rest entirely with me and my own personal commitments and I truly wish Will nothing but the best.”
Hogg said he has “resigned and released all shares, any ownership and any control of Good Pillow LLC.” It’s unclear what he means by “shares” since Good Pillow is organized as a limited liability company and does not issue shares.
Hogg figured out running a company cost money. That’s not his MO. He cry’s wolf about gun control and people donate. That’s his grift. He’s a Al Sharpten for anti gun groups.
I hope he lost a lot of money.
This issue begs some questions: Whose money did he waste to try to hurt the Christian man who makes pillows? It certainly wasn’t his. Who does this punk kid think he is? I’m sure some other idiots follow his antics, but I’d bet there aren’t many. How is he going to work for somebody in the future? His attitude and his beliefs suck!
David Hogg has tried to make a living on the bodies of his dead classmates. He’s now had his 15 minutes of fame and it’s high time he manned up and got a real life.
Why are we even entertaining and giving any legitimisy to Hogg , by commenting on someone who is clearly
gaming the system for his own benefit? He should be ignored and let him get a real job.
Meanwhile we should play like the liberal extremist’s.
Conservatives should now be coming out and doing our own “cancelling” of
business ‘s and people who advance their extreme views and policy’s, in a respectful but aggressive manner.
PTSD? How does that sniveling little “kitty” get PTSD from an incident the lying child of an unknown father was never at? He rode up to the school on his little Big wheel tricycle AFTER everything was over and got interviewed by CNN, the most reliable news on earth, and claimed he was a victim! NOT! He has played “poor pitiful me” in the media ever since. He is as dispicable as a Stolen Valor fake Vet. A pic on him and his future, he deserves nothing but scorn!
He better not buy a gun, as he is not mentally stable. He could ask Hunter how to lie on a 4473 though.
Pigs are smarter than that Hogg. A big mouth with no common sense is not a good thing.
Apparently, he decided he has enough pillows to bite on already.
This pussy could not even open up a box of cereal or pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom and he and others think he could run a company. How would you like to have to work for this evil piece of human excrement?
Hogg was fed to the hogs by his own woke crowd. LMAO.
Mr. Hogg is not ready to build his life. He has created his own demons, building his fame with lies, and forsaking the actual experiences and losses of others. Similar to Dem. senator Blumenthal’s “stolen valor”, his actions were heralded by the equally dishonest Left. Mr. Hogg’s entire adult life is built upon lies and hatred. The best thing he could do for himself would be to withdraw from the media, get a college degree, and take an entry-level position in a company which would require achievement rewarded with growth. At this time, he has no idea how to be a “better person”, nor a contributor to society.
Just another attention seeking liberal that’ll cry and stomp their foot if they don’t get it.
Who is bankrolling this son of an FBI agent and talking piece of human debris named David Hogg?
Why would anyone listen to this “Karen” about anything ?
Gee, if he needs to pay for therapy, he should do what millions of Americans have done, GET A JOB and EARN MONEY by trading SKILLED LABOR for MONEY.
Hey, it works for me…
Why does anyone listen to this cowardly pole smoker, she’s so irrelevant !
Hogg may be smiling with his teeth, but not with his lips. Those are tight jaws.
I strongly disagree with David Hogg but I do NOT wish him or anyone like him harm. Try to represent your cause with a certain level of class, there may be agent provocateurs’ here, so legit people should avoid toxic comments.
…and this is significant, worthwhile reading because…?
Hopefully this little POS figures out he can’t lie his way to success. PTSD from a shooting he was miles from. Gimme a break!
Uncle Mike Bloomberg must have taken away his allowance
Some one should smother him with a pillow. He is moving into hemerobiid medications since his such a pain in the ass.
Mr. Hogg, if you really want to help people, please look into suicide options. That will do more.people good than you can imagine.
Phony Punk.
Guessing his little mind couldn’t get wrapped around the fact that his “following” did not pony-up to his “dream” of unicorn poop-filled pillows just flying off the shelves.
People realized his startup was just an attack on another’s hard work and success. An attack only because the owner supported American workers, freedom, and ideals.
Sad he can’t be held accountable for the damage left by his wake…..
I wish this clown would just go away……your 15 minutes are over, off the stage please.
David Hogg is a big Bigot and an idiot. He destroyed the lives of a lot of good people. And now he thinks by leaving to go to college that everything is going to be ok. He destroyed a good man with a great product. I would piss on his pillows just to make him mad enough to say something about my second amendment. That way I can educate him on the u s constitution.
In the article, it alludes to David Hogg not having a job or family. Maybe if he went out and built his own life, he would not have the time or energy to tell me how to live mine. He also talks about needing therapy. Another indication that he should focus on himself for a while.
I would have pissed on one of your pillows, but I would not pay for one.
So, leftists have successfully circulated petition(s) and got Mike Lindell’s “My Pillow” brand pillows removed from several, “progressive/woke”, retailers.
So, why don’t we truly conservative lovers of freedom, liberty, our Great Constitutional Republic, and our Sacred Constitution do the EXACT SAME THING to these COMMUNISTS who are, and believe everything ANTITHETICAL to us and our beliefs?
Namely : create, circulate, and present petitions to any retailers selling or supporting these “progressive” pillows, and any other products and services which are “progressive”? ALL conservatives, ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS, must sign on to utilising the same tactics and games the progressives/communists use. Far past time for us to stop playing nice! This is WAR for the HEART and SOUL of our GREAT NATION that We The People cannot afford to lose!
May God bless you all.
First time I’ve seen a photo of this kid where he didn’t have raging anger on his face. I’m guessing he just had sex with a 10 year old boy for a grin like that.
David your 15 minutes of fame has long since expired. The mainstream news media that made you has lost interest in you; good luck with the rest of your life!
david hogg specifically and the anti-gun crowd in general are nothing but failed losers and quitters. they keep feeding america with lies and bs. we the people are smarter than that and WE THE PEOPLE will rise again.
Doesn’t seem to be much good at anything.
