Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s Colton Haab Explains CNN ‘Script’ Claim, Decision Not to Participate in Town Hall

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Colton Haab, a student at Parkland, FL’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where a mass shooting took place last week, elaborated on his claim CNN had instructed him to stick to a script in the network’s town hall that featured other students and lawmakers.

Haab laid how he initially submitted an essay, then was asked to offer questions instead, before being told to stick to the script and deciding not to participate.

“They had taken what I had wrote and what I had briefed on and talked about, and they actually wrote the question for me,” he said.

Following the segment on Fox News, President Donald Trump reacted with a tweet.

“School shooting survivor says he quit @CNN Town Hall after refusing scripted question.” @TuckerCarlson. Just like so much of CNN, Fake News. That’s why their ratings are so bad! MSNBC may be worse.
