David Hogg supporters claimed ‘ageism’ after he attacked Nancy Pelosi.
I said “Pelosi is oldâ€
Trump is old.
Hatch is old.
Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke are both in the younger side of American leadership.We can go younger.
Dems need to allow young people to seize leadership opportunities like the republicans have with people like Rubio, Ryan etc.

Stop with the ageism. I fully support you but you’re wrong here.

Maya Contreas (Can’t embedded tweet she blocked me :)) Dear @davidhogg111, I sincerely appreciate all the work that you do especially registering folks to vote in this critical midterm election. I, however, would very much appreciate you leaving ageism out of politics it has no place there. We need all voices young & senior. Best- Maya
Take a breather. This is very mysogenistic and abhorrent to read. Apologize as this applies to many of us and believe me, with age comes wisdom.

Here comes the slight backtrack from Hogg
I don’t endorse age limits. We need experience and wisdom in our leadership.  But, we also need a representative government, which means younger leaders need to be given a chance.

Older generations can lead but we need congress to empower more young people. So in the future when things as important as the ACA come up the current leadership can show young people how to get it passed.
