Jessica Alba and Ne-Yo Demand Anti-Gun Hashtag Activism from Kids During '2016 Teen Choice Awards'

And the award for best political propaganda aimed at a teenage audience goes to … the 2016 Teen Choice Awards on FOX! Tonight, celebrities pushed gun control and Hillary Clinton to the under-18 set.

Beginning the turn towards politics, actress Jessica Alba and singer Ne-Yo did a segment using the siblings of gun violence victims as props. Exploitation of grieving families, much? After introducing all the young people on stage and telling how their family members were killed – from Sandy Hook to San Bernardino to Orlando to Baton Rouge, including the teenage son of Alton Sterling – Alba said they must “stop, feel, and ask what’s going on.” She turned it over to Ne-Yo to sing “What’s Going On” while the teens in the audience lit up their cell phone lights and swayed to the music.

Lastly, Ne-Yo and Alba demanded of the audience, “If you feel, as we do, that we have to do better, then you ought to stand up right now and take out your phones… Take a picture all of these courageous teens standing here asking for the violence to stop then post with the hashtag, #StopTheViolence.” Yeah, that’ll make a difference!

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz won Choice Movie Actress – Comedy for “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” and said she thinks she is “the first actor to win for throwing dirty tampons at a window” before she delivered her political message – register to vote because “this election means a lot.” She’s a deep thinker, that one.

This year, for the first time, the teen audience was asked to vote for their presidential choice, in conjunction with Rock the Vote. Comedian Keegan-Michael Key did an Obama impression while show hosts John Cena and Victoria Justice came out dressed as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, respectively, to open up the voting. The vote was tabulated from teens making a choice and tweeting their favorite candidate. Remember, this show claims the audience voting is from ages 13 through 17, so they aren’t eligible to vote in real life, anyway. Thank God.

No surprise that, yes, the winner was Hillary Clinton. Key made the announcement at the very end of the show while wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “Don’t Boo, Vote,” as President Obama tells his audiences on the campaign trail.

Lefties continue on with exploiting children and young people for their own political benefit. Even an award show for a teenage audience couldn’t resist turning into a get-out-the-vote effort for Hillary Clinton. Wow.
