Emma Gonzalez's Response To Kanye West's 'Hero' Tweet About Her Is Pure Brilliance

The March For Our Lives leader is beyond her years.

Kanye West has had Twitter on edge over the past week. His public support of Donald Trump however is generating the most discussion.

  • Now, ‘Ye’s got a new favorite person, and it’s not in the same political stratosphere as the 45th President.

    Last night (April 28), West tweeted a photo of Parkland shooting survivor and activist Emma Gonzalez and the caption “My hero Emma Gonzalez.”

  • Naturally, this made people scratch their heads. Kanye’s been on this “free thinkers” theme, and Gonzalez is certainly is a free thinker, but why anoint a champion of gun control after endorsing Trump and right wing YouTube personality Candace Owens?

    Oh yeah, and he made this follow-up tweet, just in-case anyone thought he was joking.

  • Of course, Emma responded. And she did it with the utmost tact.

  • James Shaw Jr. was the man who wrestled an AR-15 away from the Nashville Waffle House shooter. Since the shooting, he’s been able to help raise over $140,000 for the victims affected during the incident.

    Sheesh. Emma Gonzalez is really out here living way beyond her years. We love her so much!
