Laura Ingraham has offered up her mea culpa.
As we previously reported, the Fox News personality was put on BLAST after she mocked Parkland high school student and gun control activist David Hogg for being rejected from various colleges. So rude.

However, Hogg got his revenge when he encouraged his followers to reach out to Fox News’ advertisers and to ask them to boycott Laura’s time on the conservative network. At least THREE of Ingraham’s advertisers — including Wayfair, TripAdvisor, and Nutrish — announced that they were pulling their ads from her program.
Thus, we knew Laura’s apology was coming soon. In an attempt to squash the scandal, the 54-year-old wrote:
Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥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├óΓé¼Γäós welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)

Huh. We’d buy this apology more, ya know, if she didn’t wait until advertisers started revoking ads. SMH.
Now we have to wait and see if Hogg actually ACCEPTS her apology. We doubt it, as he already retweeted this shady post by Lauren Hogg:
*Waits till we boycott her advertisers to apologize* wow.
Hey @IngrahamAngle please just be a real journalist. Focus on the important stories and use your platform to help people not hurt them. #neveragain #ShutUpAndBeObjective #MarchForOurLives https://t.co/wZRBlHk4XS
