Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg is calling for companies who advertise on Ingraham's show to pull ads.

  • Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg organized a boycott campaign against companies that run ads on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show after the host posted a tweet mocking Hogg.
  • Wayfair is the latest company to publicly confirm that it will be pulling ads from the show.
  • On Thursday, Ingraham apologized to Hogg on Twitter.
  • Here's how the companies have responded so far.

Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg called for a boycott against companies that advertise on Fox News host Laura Ingraham's show after she posted a tweet mocking Hogg, saying he "whines" about not being accepted into colleges he applied to.

Hogg responded to her tweet, asking: "Soooo @IngrahamAngle what are your biggest advertisers ... Asking for a friend," and added the hashtag #BoycottIngramAdverts.

He later tweeted a list of companies that he said were advertisers on Ingraham's show and urged his followers to contact them.

On Thursday morning, pet-food company Nutrish confirmed on Twitter that it was making plans to pull ads from the TV show. TripAdvisor and Wayfair later followed suit.

Ingraham apologized to Hogg on Twitter on Thursday afternoon. "I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland," she wrote.

She continued in a second tweet: "For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David 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."

Here's how other companies have responded so far:
