Harvard is more interested In filling the student body with rich and/or famous kids than kids with the most academic potential. Harvard has always been that way.

It was so mean-spirited of her to go after a 17-year-old victim of a high school mass shooting. Good for him. He'll become much more admired and accomplished in his life than she ever will.
What kind of an adult would attack a young person for not getting accepted to a college? That says everything anyone needs to know about Ingraham. (As an aside, I think Ingraham came from a wealthy family, so she doesn't understand how the world works for real people.)

But yes, I'd heard a while back that he'd been accepted at some ivy league university. That's wonderful for him. He seems like someone who will be successful at whatever field he decides to go into.

Your comment is based on political ideology, and it is doubtful he will become "much more admired and accomplished" than Laura.
I don't say that because I think he is an opportunistic and uninformed twit, as I'd say the same of him not becoming more admired and accomplished that Maddow either.
Heck, I have no clue what his grades were like, or if Harvard just decided to ad another SJW to their college based on ideology.

Had Hogg nor gone far left and anti-gun, and spread his condemnation around to not only the NRA and legal gun owners, but also the FBI, sheriff Israel and the BSO, and others who knew the shooter was a kook ready to go postal, he would have a lot more support. Instead he became of puppet and poster boy for the anti-gun leftists who espouse rhetoric, all the while ignoring some of the real and tangible ways the kook could have been stopped prior to massacring all his classmates.

Regardless few people attain the type of stature of someone like Laura or other famous talking heads on either side of the ideological spectrum.

And you know that as a fact? Maybe he didn't bump anyone off the list, I'm sure they have their reason for accepting him.

Harvard has become a joke.

Means he got in based on notoriety. Pathetic.

Why should any of us care, I'm sure nobody here have to worry about that.
