A video peddling a conspiracy theory that Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg is an actor reached No. 1 on YouTubes trending page Wednesday morning before the company ultimately removed it.

The video itself was real a reuploaded version of a 2017 news clip by CBS Los Angeles in which one of Hoggs friends gets into a verbal altercation with a lifeguard, which Hogg recorded and uploaded at the time. The reuploaded video also used the same title as the CBS affiliate: Confrontation Between Lifeguard, Bodysurfer Caught On Camera In Redondo Beach Goes Viral.
