Hogg's "counterpunching" might apply here, but that's simply a coincidence. He has spent the last few weeks attacking people all over the map -- from Marco Rubio to Rick Scott to the NRA to John McCain (I almost didn't even remember that guy was still alive). Nobody among any of these every attacked him.
Hogg is just an obnoxious pr!ck, and he should be treated as such.
I already know David Hogg is an anti-gun zealot. But that is diversion from our discussion of apology by Laura Ingraham.
Point is never INITIATE an attack and then you will not need to apologize. Trump seldom initiates attacks. But when attacked he counter-punches even harder. Laura initiated the attack on Hogg. And he counter-attacked.
What Laura should have done instead is STATE THE FACTS...HOGG WAS NOT A VICTIM BECAUSE HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE BUILDING where shooting happened. Instead of restricting to stating facts, Laura called Hogg whiner and other names. Thus she painted a target on herself and be open to attacks by liberal media, too happy to jump on it.
