Laura Ingraham apologizes for David Hogg comments
But the Parkland student, as of yet, is not accepting the apology.
Hogg, who has shown himself adept at leveraging social media against his naysayers, quickly responded by tweeting a list of Ingraham’s sponsors, calling for his rapidly-growing following to pressure her advertisers. The tweet has racked up over 45,000 retweets in under 24 hours.

On Thursday morning advertisers started responding:
We are in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham’s program.

TripAdvisor and Wayfair both issued statements to ABC News, saying they would be pulling ads as well.
\"The decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values,\" Wayfair said.
\"In our view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency,\" TripAdvisor said.
By early Thursday afternoon, Ingraham issued an apology, tweeting: “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.”
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)

For his part, Hogg is not impressed.
\"An apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough,\" he tweeted Thursday. \"I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children.\"
