When Parkland survivor David Hogg helped initiate the March For Our Lives movement and became an outspoken proponent for tighter gun control, the 17-year-old high school student became a target for cyberbullying from adult conservatives.

Fox radio host Laura Ingraham of The Ingraham Angle mocked the student for his denied college applications. David's younger sister, also a survivor of the shooting that took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School month, had some words for the conservative host.


On Wednesday, Ingraham tweeted, "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it." She added, "(Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)"

Lauren Hogg came to her brother's defense, berating the grown woman for bullying a high school student. "How low are your ratings @IngrahamAngle that you have to start attacking my brother's grades to get attention? If you ask me, he is more articulate than you and has far better character. Man, that's real low even for you. Coming from a 14 year old, please grow up."


Encouragement flooded her Twitter account for calling out the Fox host.




Someone will be remembered more.



Lauren continued her crusade against cyberbullying. And who better to contact an advocate for anti-bullying than the First Lady, Melania Trump?


The FLOTUS has yet to respond to Lauren's inquiry.

Meanwhile, David had his own plan to boycott Ingraham's show.


He asked 595,000 of his followers to call companies from a provided list that included Hulu, Nestle, and Liberty Mutual. David called some of the companies himself and asked if they would continue to support The Ingraham Angle radio show.




A spokesperson from Nutrish, one of the advertisers for the show, told the Daily News:

We are in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham's program, as the comments she has made are not consistent with how we feel people should be treated,

Attorney Lisa Bloom lambasted Ingraham for ridiculing a teenager. "His friends are dead. He's asking us to save other children from being killed," she wrote in a tweet. "One of the organizers of massive protests. Fox News host mocks him for some colleges rejecting him even though he has an impressive GPA. Guess @davidhogg111 has really gotten under Fox News' skin."

By Thursday morning, Ingraham issued an apology.




David told TMZ he was rejected by U.C. Los Angeles, U.C. San Diego, U.C. Santa Barbara and U.C. Irvine where he submitted applications but was accepted by Florida Atlantic University, Cal Poly and Cal State San Marcos.

I think there's a lot of amazing people that don't get to college, not only that do things like I do but because their voices just aren't heard in the tsunami of people that apply every year to colleges in such an economic impacted school system here which we have here in America where people have to go into massive amounts of debt just to go to college and get an education.

Moments After Threatening To Bomb Iran, President Trump Just Revealed His Birthday Wish—And It's Irony At Its Finest

President Donald Trump's 80th birthday is this week and his claim that his birthday wish is "peace for the world" had people raising their eyebrows, especially considering it came after he threatened to bomb Iran again.

Earlier this week, Trump declared in a post on Truth Social that Iran's military "is a complete and total mess" and bragged that most of their forces have been "completely defeated," adding:

We Just Got Our First Look At The Official Popcorn Bucket For 'The Odyssey'—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

At this point, movie studios aren't competing at the box office. They're competing to see who can create the most unhinged popcorn bucket.

We've had giant sandworms. We've had oversized Deadpool & Wolverine helmets. We've had designer handbags full of popcorn. We even somehow survived the predictably lackluster Melania Trump popcorn bucket era. Now, The Odyssey has entered the chat with a Trojan Horse popcorn bucket, because apparently subtlety died somewhere around 2024.

'X-Men' Star Has Important Wakeup Call For Men After Revealing He's Been Diagnosed With 'Super Rare' Breast Cancer

Breast cancer does not discriminate between people. While it is more common in women, one out of 755 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Because "breasts" are associated with women, people—including doctors—often do not recognize early signs of breast cancer in men, so they are less likely to be diagnosed until a later stage, which makes treatment more difficult.
