Fame is a fickle mistress. But sometimes, good things can come out of incredibly bad things. Kyle Kashuv, who has become one of the most outspoken of the Parkland kids who isn’t toeing the narrative of gun control, got an invitation to prom over Twitter.

The catch is, the girl asking him to prom is in Nebraska. And he doesn’t own a tuxedo. So she asked him how many retweets it would take for him to take her to prom.

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. Never tempt the Twitter gods like that. You know that someone is going to give a helping hand… like Ben Shapiro.

The young lady in question has enough retweets, so it looks like young Mr. Kashuv should be researching available florists in Lincoln, Nebraska for his date at the prom.

As of this writing, the stated goal of $700 had been surpassed by over $500… so, plane ticket, flowers, tuxedo, dinner, a limo?

But of course, while Twitter can be good, it can also be full of killjoys.

Hard pass, sweet girl. You can do better.

She sounds like fun, doesn’t she, this – *checks Elizabeth Thorp’s Twitter bio* – senior advisor to Planned Parenthood. How precious.

Really @ElizabethEThorp? Are you 12 years old?

Here is Thorp attempting to explain herself…

Yup. Just saying I am not helping her score a date with this person.

— Elizabeth Thorp (@ElizabethEThorp) April 5, 2018

I think Kyle can handle himself.

Why does @ElizabethEThorp feel bullying a Parkland survivor is okay? More importantly, why is she bullying my date? pic.twitter.com/BF3hnsMf0m

Not bullying, Kyle.

And Thorp knew perfectly well who Kyle is.

Aren't @PPFA advisors just lovely people? @ElizabetheThorp pic.twitter.com/CaKZSm0NWO

The problem is, Thorp doesn’t realize she’s living under The New Rules.

If you actually took the time to know Kyle, you would know that he would disapprove a lot of that hate towards you. Fact is you did bully him, and their hate towards you doesn't justify your actions towards him.

Madam you stepped into this ring, and as an adult, knew what you were getting into. Trying to play a victim shows your stupidity of this or any other emotionally packed issue.

You’re an adult you moron.

Are you actually claiming that @KyleKashuv, a #Parkland survivor, is bullying you?

Maybe you shouldn’t have attacked him. https://t.co/Qoz3WxinN0

Quite amazing to see a liberal blue-check attack @kylekashuv, suggest that Kyle might be sending her these texts, and tag her fellow liberal blue-checks to try to recruit them in her fight against Kyle as well

What a sad little person @ElizabethEThorp must be to make comments like this to a teenage girl. Can you imagine the nuclear fallout if the same condescending BS were spewed to an underage member of the gun control agenda? Dear Lord, we'd all be burned at the stake! #hypocrites

— Just Jenn (@JennJacques) April 5, 2018

Indeed.

Go enjoy the young lady’s company during your prom date, Kyle, and behave like a perfect gentleman – the way you behaved when you went to the White House.

Also, make sure you pick some nice flowers in a color that compliments her dress, and ask if she would rather have a pinned corsage or a wristlet. There, a little “motherly advice” that didn’t sound condescending, Elizabeth Thorp, if you’re interested in being helpful instead of snotty. But I doubt you’re listening.
