Advertisers Part Ways with Laura Ingraham’s Show After She Did This to Parkland Victim

Laura Ingraham’s show is losing more advertisers as she faces severe backlash for bashing a teen survivor of the Parkland school shooting.

The pro-Trump commentator took to her Twitter on Wednesday and tweeted out a story of one of the survivers from the school shooting being rejected from four different colleges.,

Ingraham wrote, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” she said.
“(Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

Hogg is a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Stephen King was quick to respond and tweeted, “Laura Ingraham needs a few classes in compassion.”

On Thursday several companies pulled advertising with her show on Fox news after bashing David Hogg.
Rachael Ray’s Nutrish pet food line was the first to tweet that it was no longer going to advertise during Ingraham’s show “The Ingraham Angle.”

“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,” a spokesman for Nutrish said to HuffPost.

Following Nutrish was TripAdvisor and Wayfair.

TripAdvisor told the HuffPost that Ingraham’s comments crossed “the line of decency”: We believe strongly in the values of our company, especially the one that says, “We are better together.”

“As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues,” a Wayfair spokeswoman said. “However, the decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values. We do not plan to continue advertising on this particular program.”

Ingraham took to Twitter again, this time to apoligize and wrote, “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how ‘poised’ he was given the tragedy. As always he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion.”
