"Former Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) suggested that the survivors of last week's shooting at a high school in Florida are being coached on their activism by left-wing groups.
Kingston, who served on Trump's campaign, was asked on CNN whether he thinks the students who survived the shooting are acting of their own volition in their calls for gun control.
"I think it's a horrible tragedy, and I am heartbroken that young people have gone through this, and I hope that it never happens again," he said during an interview on CNN.
"I also know that their sorrow can very easily be hijacked by left-wing groups who have an agenda. ... Do we really think 17-year-olds, on their own, are going to plan a nationwide rally?"
He said advocacy groups often spring into action after news events.
"It's kind of like instant rally, instant protest," he said
CNN host Alisyn Camerota interjected, telling Kingston she was down in Florida and talked to the children who survived the shooting.”*
