Laura Ingraham took some serious heat for mocking David Hogg’s getting rejected by four California universities:
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.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY

After Hogg called for a boycott of her advertisers, some have actually caved to his demands.

Could be that, or she could be genuinely sorry. Either way, Ingraham took to Twitter to publicly apologize for having a go at Hogg:
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. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David…(1/2)

… immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how "poised" he was given the tragedy. As always, he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)

Well, there you have it. So, what happens now?

It’s probably safe to say that Hogg’s not ready to make nice.

After Ingraham apologized, Hogg thanked TripAdvisor for pulling their advertising from her show:
Thank you @TripAdvisor ?

Update:
Well, it looks like our hunch was correct. After Ingraham tweeted her apology, Hogg went on to thank Nutrish for yanking their advertising:

And to retweet this from his younger sister Lauren:
*Waits till we boycott her advertisers to apologize* wow.
