UPDATE 3/30/18 6:29 P.M. EST: Things are only getting worse for Laura Ingraham. Now Liberty Mutual, Principal, Honda, Miracle Ear, Ruby Tuesday, and Office Depot have said they will stop advertising on the Fox News show, putting our count at 17 sponsors.
UPDATE 3/30/18 1:25 P.M. EST: The number of sponsors to drop Ingraham has hit 11, with Atlantis Resorts and Jenny Craig now confirming they are removing their ads.
UPDATE 9:10 P.M. EST: Now Johnson & Johnson, streaming giant Hulu, and subscription clothing service Stitch Fix have also declared they will remove their advertising dollars from The Ingraham Angle.
The right wing has really shown their true colors when it comes to the leaders of the #NeverAgain movement.
Despite the gun control advocates being teens who just survived a school shooting that claimed the lives of their classmates, the NRA and some GOP politicians and pundits have stooped to name calling, lies, and conspiracy theories.
As you may have heard, this week Laura Ingraham sank low by attacking David Hogg for getting rejected by some of the colleges to which he applied.

But these teens know how to use Twitter — and David and his supporters responded by pointing out the gross move to The Ingraham Angle‘s advertisers.
The Fox News host tried to backtrack on her comments, but only after she saw advertisers fleeing. Hogg responded to the apology, tweeting:
I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I️ in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children. https://t.co/H0yWs4zMGk

How much has her ad hominem attack of a school shooting survivor hurt her?
So far Rachael Ray‘s pet food brand Nutrish, travel sites Expedia and TripAdvisor, men’s clothier Joseph A. Banks, online home goods store Wayfair, and now food giant Nestle have all released statements saying they will no longer advertise on Ingraham’s show.
Damn.
And with Hogg’s original list retweeted over 46,000 times, we wouldn’t be surprised if more drop before this is over.
