David Hogg, a student survivor of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, is calling for a boycott of Laura Ingraham’s advertisers after the Fox News host mocked him for getting rejected from his preferred colleges.
This bizarre saga began when Ingraham posted a tweet criticizing Hogg, one of the most vocal Parkland students calling for gun control, for complaining about not getting in to a number of universities.
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” Ingraham wrote. “(Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”
