What’s going on?
Parkland student turned gun control activist David Hogg clashed with conservative host Laura Ingraham on Twitter last night, calling on advertisers to boycott her show.
Catch me up:
Ingraham tweeted a link to a Daily Wire article about Hogg’s recent comments on his search for a college. Hogg, who is a senior at Stoneman Douglas High School, told TMZ that he was rejected by four University of California schools.
“We got rejected from … UCLA, and UCSD, so it’s been kind of annoying having to deal with that, and everything else that’s been going on, but at this point, it’s, you know, we’re changing the world,” Hogg said.
Tweets fired …
Ingraham commented on Hogg’s rejections with a tweet: “Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.”

Doc’s take:
On today’s show, Doc reminded gun control advocates that Ingraham isn’t alone and that they won’t accomplish anything even if they succeed in silencing her. There are too many other constitutional conservatives who are willing to stand up for the Second Amendment.
