Why Would Laura Ingraham Even Get Involved in This?
Florida school massacre survivor David Hogg, who has turned into fierce gun control advocate, is asking his 599,000 Twitter followers to boycott advertisers of Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
The conservative commentator mocked Hogg on Twitter on Wednesday after the 17-year-old revealed in an interview on TMZ that his applications were recently rejected by four University of California campuses. Ingraham tweeted: "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)"
First of all I listened to the interview. The kid wasn't whining. He was merely stating a fact. Geez.

Why? because she is a hateful witch who serves her audience of deplorables.
Conservative media and politicians have mocked and demonized these kids for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,
peaceably assembling to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Something guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and all the way back to the Magna Carta.
Rep Steven King authored a racist rant at Emma Gonzales. Another Rep compared these children to the Hitler Youth.
Are you friggin kidding me?!
Frankly, many on the right have lost their minds, as well as their souls.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Maybe it's simply democracy is what bothers them. A governmental system of, by, and for the people can really be troublesome for those who prefer oligarchy instead.

Looks like 3 advertisers have pulled the plug on her.
And, now this:
Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as three companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.

Looks like we're up to 7 advertisers bailing out. Maybe the apology was too little, too late.

Maybe these kids can get us to reclaim our decency.

I believe we've just hit 13 advertisers saying goodbye to Laura.
