Conservative Social Media Accounts Smeared a Parkland Survivor with Photoshopped Image of Her Ripping up Constitution

Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, including Emma Gonzalez (C), stand together on stage with other young victims of gun violence at the conclusion of the March for Our Lives rally on March 24, 2018 in Washington, DC.

 

Conservative social media users are back on their bullshit (though, in order to be “back” would mean they somehow left it).

This weekend, hundreds of thousands of advocates for gun reform participated in March for Our Lives rallies in all 50 states, with one of the largest and most visible demonstrations happening in Washington, D.C. There, Emma González, a survivor of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., gave a stirring and emotional speech.

On conservative social media, however, an altogether different—and fake—image of González was being spread.
