In a tweet issued Monday, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced that he will not cave to demands by foul-mouthed teen demagogue David Hogg and his allies at the George Soros-funded Media Matters and will not pull his advertisements from Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program.
“I did not take my advertising down from @IngrahamAngle and @FoxNews, nor do I intend to,” he said.

Ingraham, as we and others reported, triggered the teen tyrant after she made reference to a news report about his rejection from four different colleges.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY

This prompted Hogg and Media Matters to start a campaign aimed at her advertisers. Some, like Hulu and Rachael Ray’s Nutrish, dutifully obeyed and yanked their ads from Ingraham, sparking calls for boycotts.
Ingraham apologized, but Hogg rejected her apology, instead demanding that she repudiate Fox News and later suggesting that she be fired from the network. Fox, however, said they would not bend to his will and will not fire her.
“We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” said Jack Abernethy, co-president of Fox News. “We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.”
Reaction was pretty much what one might expect:
Then there’s no chance I’ll ever buy one.

Thank you Mike! I will most definitely be placing an order with your company.

It’s easy to tell the responses from Hogg’s acolytes…
Kudos to Lindell for not caving into the demands of a petulant, profane attention-seeker and those who wish to silence anyone with whom they disagree.
