Why would I? What foreign flag have I worn in a public appearance? Emma Gonzales CHOSE to publicly support a regime that executed LGBTs by wearing the Cuban Flag on a very public stage. Judge that for what it's worth.

Nutrish is in the process of pulling their ads from Ingraham's show. Hopefully others will follow. That's how it started with O'Reilly. I remember several posters on here saying Fox would never cancel his show...
+1!

Or, to put it another way, she sinned:

Hogg is quickly becoming, or has become a white Al Sharpton! Running to the nearest camera to profit off of the FL tragedy any way he can.

Just you wait, this is only the start of this huckster's career, hopefully he'll be marginalized quicker than Al was...

There's a line of B.S. <bold> Advertisers don't give a damn about right or wrong, they're chasing $$$$$$$$ and were afraid to be connected to any controversy swirling around the FL shooting. They'll be back sooner or later...

Hogg pulled an Al Sharpton, the far left's favorite tactic of screaming for a boycott. I'd bet if she promised to pay Hogg he'd shut right up.
Again, Hogg is a white l Sharpton.

To these "adults" I say grow the hell up.

If you are going to jump right into the public sphere with both feet, and not expect any ridicule, just shows the immaturity level of the one making the big leap.

People of all ages must grow some brass balls, before leaping into the cesspool, with lies and deception, or their feelings are going to be destroyed. "I'm being bullied with truthbombs! You must agree with me, or I'm going to get you." -David Hoggwash

Exactly. Next she'll be wearing a Che Guevera shirt, celebrating the life, and deeds of a murdering thug.

Advertisers aren't afraid to be connected to any controversy. They don't want to be connected to the person who's on the negative end of a controversy. Ingraham crossed a line she shouldn't have, and she was on the negative end of the controversy. Hence her apology.

The advertisers may or may not come back. If they get more revenue advertising elsewhere, they won't come back.

Hogg is Hogg. He's a high school student from a school where his schoolmates were killed by a school shooter. He's speaking out about his experience, and what he thinks about the existing policies in our nation that are supposed to prevent school shootings, and how he thinks those policies can be improved. He most certainly has an agenda. And he's shown himself to be savvy about using the media to promote his agenda. That's all.

My statement is pretty darn fair. Especially after seeing the most innocent kids actually bullying.

He want's to run with the big dogs. he has even admitted that he has no respect for people. There is no discrediting. He's doing a darn good job of it himself.
The kid is in over his head. My 14 year old puts together a better argument than he does.
