Boycott of Laura Ingraham Grows After She Mocks Shooting Survivor

HeadlineMar 30, 2018

Fox News host Laura Ingraham apologized Thursday for mocking high school student David Hogg, who survived last month’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead and 14 others wounded. On Wednesday, Ingraham tweeted, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it.” Her comment prompted Hogg to call on his more than 600,000 Twitter followers to boycott advertisers who sponsor Ingraham’s show. So far at least four companies—TripAdvisor, Nestlé, Wayfair and Nutrish—have ended their sponsorship of Ingraham’s program.
