Florida shooting survivor David Hogg declined on Friday to accept Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s apology over a tweet mocking him, saying she’s only expressing remorse because a flurry of advertisers dropped her program.
Hogg, who called for companies to boycott the talk show host after she derided the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student over several college application rejections, framed Ingraham’s apology as insufficient and self-serving. Pressed on whether he'd accept her apology, he replied, "No."
“She’s only apologizing after a third of her advertisers pulled out and I think it’s really disgusting the fact that she basically tried promoting her show after apologizing — or ‘apologizing’ to me,” Hogg told CNN during an interview Friday.
Ingraham issued an apology for her remarks Thursday after several advertisers announced they were cutting ties with the program.
“I think it’s great that corporate American is standing with me and the rest of my friends, because when you come against any one of us, whether it be me or anybody else, you’re coming against all of us,” he said.
At least seven companies have said they will cease to run ads on Ingraham’s program in response to her tweet.
TripAdvisor, Nutrish, Expedia, Nestle, Wayfair and Hulu said they will stop their ads on “The Ingraham Angle,” which airs daily on the Fox News Channel at 10 p.m. In a statement provided to HuffPost, Johnson & Johnson said they would follow suit.
