(Whitney Shefte,Jorge Ribas/The Washington Post)After enduring days of online vilification, Florida school shooting survivor David Hogg said he bears no grudge against the social media companies whose platforms surfaced and circulated false allegations that he was a “crisis actor” merely playing the part of a grieving student. “It’s abuse, and it’s bad press for me,” said Hogg, 17, in a phone interview Thursday morning. Several Parkland students met with President Trump on Wednesday while others lobbied lawmakers in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida. He also is struggling to imagine returning to high school to finish his last few months of classes.
