Conservative Fox News Channel primetime host Laura Ingraham announced Friday night she will be taking the next week off for Easter vacation with her family. The last minute announcement comes in the midst of an advertiser boycott instigated by liberal Parkland school shooting activist David Hogg after his feelings were hurt by a tweet by Ingraham about Hogg’s self-publicized college rejections.
Be careful what you say or David Hogg will wish you into the cornfield.
Hogg’s boycott has cost Ingraham over a dozen sponsors and could lead to her losing her Fox show as the loss of advertisers continued into Friday evening.

Self-proclaimed atheist Hogg tweeted in response to Ingraham, “Have some healthy reflections this Holy Week.”

Hogg’s Holy Week taunt was a retort to Ingraham’s apology that Hogg has refused to accept unless Ingraham, in the fashion of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution, denounces her employer, Fox News.
I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I️ in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children. https://t.co/H0yWs4zMGk

Ingraham’s two part apology:
Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. 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…(1/2)

… 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. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)

Ingraham’s original tweet that caused Hogg to unleash his boycott wrath.
David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY

Hogg has said numerous times he is leading a “revolution”, “I guess you could say the March was a hole-in-one and on the first hole too! So proud of you guys this is a great start yesterday was the birth of a revolution”

It appears Laura Ingraham is going to be the first victim of Hogg’s revolution.
Ingraham supporters have started a #IStandWithLaura campaign.
In 2017, Hogg posted on Twitter that he is an atheist, “First weekend with out homework, I’m atheist but this might be evidence of a higher power”

Hogg may be an atheist, but he is in league with a power.
