Fox News host Laura Ingraham apologized Thursday after she posted a critical tweet about a Parkland, Fla. high school student.
"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," Ingraham tweeted.
"For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how "poised" he was given the tragedy. As always, hes welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion."
The apology comes after Ingraham faced backlash 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.
Hog replied a few hours later, asking who the Fox News host's biggest advertisers were in a tweet.
He later tweeted out a list of Ingraham's advertisers, directing people to contact those companies.
Online travel website TripAdvisor and Rachael Ray's pet food brand Nutrish have since said they would stop advertising on Ingraham's show.

She apologized for tweeting a truth - he DID whine about his rejections.
Would you be apposed to her kicking his ass in the locker room?
I’m totally ok with that.
The one guy and two gals made themselves public figures.
Ridicule and mocking are time honored methods of political speech for there pompous and self-rightreous and ignorant. This is lesson for the young people and I refuse to protecting the guilty.
She was apparently engaged twice. First to some
businessman, but that got canceled when she was
diagnosed with breast cancer. Also was engaged to
Dinesh D’Souza.
She has made some VERY strange dating choices.
Keith Olbermann and Robert “The Torch” Torricelli!
Hey Laura...here’s a Tweet: “On second thoughts: Hogg appeared so brave following the tragedy because he wasn’t actually there...the little liar.”
Hope she’s not holding her breath waiting for MediaHogg to forgive and forget. I may be wrong, but he doesn’t seem the forgiving type.
No offense, FRiend, but that was one pusillanimous post.
...Hogg came by his hatred of nuts with guns honestly - with a father in the FBI he lived his life wondering if some crazy person might kill his father. Thats worth considering....
**********************************************************************
Right ... FBI Agents and employees and their families wonder each day whether theyll come home alive that night or be murdered. I hope that youre not THAT deluded or misinformed.
I checked to find FBI agents who were killed by adversary actions and the most recent was in 2008. During the 21st century there have also been two others, one in 2007 and one in 2001. There can be a degree of danger for FBI agents but certainly nowhere near to that faced by front line police officers and detectives.
Hogg is a doctrinaire leftist and a poseur and is nothing else.
She wants to keep her job. She has three kids. She is their sole provider.
We should understand. Shes not Fox News. They are the weenies, though they are smaller weenies than the race-pandering sponsors.
Love Laura...? Looks like she places money and position above integrity. The little twit Hogg looks and acts like Goebbels.
Keith Olbermann...seriously? OMG, isn’t he one that had a tingle up his leg, or down about O Drama? I don’t remember....which was a gay type statement. Somehow, D’Souza seems odd choice for her. Torricelli is Democrat, so that makes zero sense for a Conservative. Yes, strange choices.
The dating pool for journalists must be limited. I’m shocked that someone who talks as she does would consider any of those men! I would NOT, if I were younger. Bible says “How can two walk together except they agree” Imagine the political arguments? NO way.
“isnt he one that had a tingle up his leg, or down about O Drama? “
That would be Chris Matthews. Perv.
What I am implying is that being like Trump appears to be a pretty good strategy for "Winning!"
Way to feed the Hogg, Laura. Jeeze this kid will use the cave for more ego.
That might actually work out to our benefit in the long run.
Do you know what stopped the Salem Witch trials? The young girls which had been making so many of the accusations of "Witch!" accused the governors wife.
The witch trials got shut down in a hurry after that.
Ok thanks. Is Keith Olbermann a liberal? If so, not a good choice either.
Yes, Hannity botched that completely. He focused on the dating of teenagers and equated it to the more serious charge of child molesting. He basically carried the enemy's narrative for them.
but remember that Hannity is very good friends with Mo Brooks which could have played a part in how Hannity handled the Moore saga.
I didn't know that. Thanks for informing me of this.
Theres a different way of looking at Hogg. Weird, goofy kids in high school often get bullied. Some get revenge by killing a few people. Some get revenge by declaring themselves relevant and try to get millions killed by becoming a Nazi gun grabber.
