Parkland survivor and anti-gun violence activist David Hogg joined Alysyn Camerota on CNN\u2019s New Day this morning to react to Laura Ingraham\u2019s apology. At least 8 advertisers have dumped Ingraham<\/a> after the FOX News host mocked Hogg\u2019s rejection from colleges.<\/p>\n Said Hogg: \u201cI would say that she needs to be more objective and stand down because I am not the issue here, the issue needs to be gun violence in America but what she\u2019s trying to do is to distract from that and I hate it.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cShe\u2019s only apologizing after a third of her advertisers pulled out and I think it\u2019s really disgusting the fact that she basically tried promoting her show after \u2018apologizing\u2019 to me. I think it\u2019s wrong and if she really wanted to do something she could cover things like inner city violence and the real issues that we have in America.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked Camerota: \u201cHow are you coping through all this?\u201d<\/p>\n Replied Hogg: \u201cWhen I see things on Twitter of people comparing me to Hitler or calling us Communists\u2026It\u2019s literally only been five and a half weeks and the fact that they\u2019re going after us personally shows that what we\u2019re doing is working. We have them scared and now we have to go even harder because this is when it really starts to matter.\u201d<\/p>\n Camerota then asked if Hogg would ever sit down with Ingraham to have a face-to-face.<\/p>\n Replied Hogg: \u201cI would like to do that but first I would need her to be more objective in the way that she talks about us\u2026what she does most of the time is, she\u2019s like \u2018this leftist group is trying to take all your\u2019\u2026. She gets this really threatening tone about us that we don\u2019t have. We\u2019re people that just want everybody to come together as Americans and solve this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Camerota asked, \u201cWhat kind of dumb-ass<\/a> colleges don\u2019t want you<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n Said Hogg with a smile: \u201cWe have a heavily impacted university system in America. I think there\u2019s a lot of really good candidates that don\u2019t get into college. I think it goes to show that regardless of whether or not you get into college, you can still change the world. The hardest part is just believing that you can and continuing that effort to change the world because you eventually will.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post CNN\u2019s Alisyn Camerota to David Hogg: \u2018What Kind of Dumb-Ass Colleges Don\u2019t Want You?\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
