Picking off the survivors
From the “no low too low” file: Fox News personality taunts Parkland survivor with college rejection slips.
Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg is calling for advertisers to boycott Laura Ingraham’s show after the Fox News host taunted the high school senior over his college rejections.
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” Ingraham tweeted Wednesday morning. She linked to a story from a conservative news site that described Hogg as a “Gun Rights Provocateur” who had not gained acceptance to four University of California schools.

How shocking to be a “gun rights provocateur” – decent people know that violence and force are Virtue, while non-violence and cooperation are Demonic.
Ingraham faced immediate backlash over her tweet from those shocked she would attack a 17-year-old student who had survived the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Fla. Among the outraged were people who reminded Ingraham, simply, that she was a mother, and Hogg’s 14-year-old sister, who accused the Fox News host of stooping to a “real low” to boost her ratings.
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. #NeverAgain https://t.co/CgUVeGRfxP

Well look at it this way: if they can’t get guns how are they going to play their part in the approaching Race War?
I don’t think Ingraham really attacked his grades. She attacked his “whining”, which was idiotic if you watch the source video because he was for the most part just responding to questions he was asked. The only thing he really volunteered was his opinion that college costs way too much, which is hardly controversial. It’s beyond bizarre that she even thought this was something she should weigh in on.
That said, Hogg is now trying to rally companies to stop sponsoring her show, which I find a bit distasteful. I don’t know why anybody would sponsor her trash show in the first place, but the “if you call me a whiner I’ll end your career” look isn’t a good one for Hogg. I think he would have been better served to let other people call for repercussions.

Maybe he would’ve been better served but 600k+ followers isn’t something everyone has.
