Fox News host Laura Ingraham ignited controversy on March 28, 2018, when she posted a tweet taunting the survivor of a school shooting for his college acceptance rates. The student, David Hogg, was a survivor of the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and has went on to become one of the student leaders of the #NeverAgain movement, which advocates for stricter gun control laws in the United States. On March 24, he spoke at the March For Our Lives rally in Washington D.C., after which Ingraham mocked him for being rejected by 4 colleges and for his 4.1 GPA.

In response, Hogg listed Ingraham's show's sponsors on Twitter and invited his followers to contact them expressing their displeasure. Unsurprisingly, making fun of a shooting survivor isn't a look many of Ingraham's sponsors wanted to be associated with. 11 companies have now withdrawn their support from her program, despite an apology from Ingraham. On March 30, the host announced she would be taking a week off for Easter, which happens to be the same step taken by Bill O'Reilley in 2017 (amid a similar advertiser boycott) before he was ultimately fired.

Here's Ingraham's tweet mocking David Hogg:

2 days of advertiser boycotting later...

For some Twitter users, the writing is on the wall.

Huffpost reported that the list of companies boycotting Ingraham's program included:

Nutrish, the pet food line created by celebrity chef Rachael Ray, travel website TripAdvisor Inc, online home furnishings seller Wayfair Inc, the world's largest packaged food company, Nestle SA, online streaming service Hulu, travel website Expedia Group Inc and online personal shopping service Stitch Fix.

Ingraham tried to apologize to David after it became clear her advertisers were fleeing the program.

In an interview with CNN, Hogg chose not to accept Ingraham's apology.

I think it's great that corporate America is standing with me and the rest of my friends. When you come against any one of us -- whether it be me or anybody else -- you're coming against all of us.

I think it's important that we stand together as both corporate and civic America to take action against these people and show them that they cannot push us around, especially when all we're trying to do here is save lives. I think it's really disgusting, the fact that she basically tried promoting her show after apologizing to me.

Time will tell whether history will repeat itself. Ingraham's days on television could be numbered...

Woman Sparks Debate After Accusing Frontier Airlines Of Kicking Her Off Flight For Being Deaf

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
