Online home goods company Wayfair said it will stop advertising on Fox News host Laura Ingraham's show after she posted a tweet critical of a Parkland, Fla., high school student. "As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues. "We do not plan to continue advertising on this particular program." Ingraham faced backlash this week after she posted a tweet critical of Parkland student David Hogg, who has become a vocal advocate for gun control since the mass shooting last month at his high school. Ingraham on Wednesday shared a Daily Wire story that reported Hogg was rejected from four colleges. “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),” Ingraham tweeted. At least two other advertisers, TripAdvisor and pet food brand Nutrish, also said Thursday they would stop advertising on her program. Ingraham apologized Thursday for "any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland." He helped organize and lead the March for Our Lives rally last weekend in Washington, D.C., and has been warning lawmakers that they will be voted out of office if they don't pass new gun laws.
