Fox News Host Gloats Over Parkland Survivor Not Getting Into College, Accuses Him Of Whining

Frothing-mad right-wing media personalities just can’t seem to stop themselves from personally attacking the teenage survivors of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. They’ve spread vicious conspiracy theories, mocked them for their heritage, spread doctored videos—you name it. Since the massive March For Our Lives rallies for gun control across the country, their efforts have only intensified.

Last time we checked in with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, she was VERY concerned about the “tone” of the “discourse” these Parkland teens were using.

She seems to have forgotten her own advice, because today she decided to mock Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg for failing to get into four colleges he applied to:

Though he has a 4.2 GPA, Hogg was rejected from four California schools, an experience he called “annoying to deal with” because, unlike Ingraham, he’s capable of feeling feelings other than anger, fear, and ideologically driven schadenfreude.

And that “whining” she accused Hogg of? If more teens “whined” like this the world would be a much better place.

“I am not surprised at all in all honesty. I think there’s a lot of amazing people that don’t get to college, not only that do things like I do but because their voices just aren’t heard in the tsunami of people that apply every year to colleges in such an economic impacted school system here which we have here in America where people have to go into massive amounts of debt just to go to college and get an education,” Hogg told TMZ. “I think it’s really sad but it’s the truth.”

What a big baby, right?

Twitter let Ingraham have it:

Ingraham’s got a record of bullying college-aged kids. When she was the editor of a conservative publication at Dartmouth, she sent someone to surreptitiously record a meeting of gay students. She then published the names of students in the meeting, called them “sodomites,” and sent copies of the tapes to their parents.

But hey! College kids do crazy things and it was the 1980s! In the decade that followed, Ingraham’s brother came out as gay and she softened her tone on gay issues somewhat. Let’s hope the next decade brings about some further evolution, or at least her ratings suffer enough that she’s forced into an early retirement. (Just no whining about it!)
