Johnson & Johnson to remove ads from Ingraham’s show

Johnson & Johnson has become the latest advertiser to pull its ads from Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show.

The company confirmed to The Hill on Thursday that it would no longer be advertising on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Johnson & Johnson said that it “will pull advertising from Ms. Ingraham’s show” in a statement provided to HuffPost, which first reported on the decision.

At least eight advertisers have now dropped their support of Ingraham’s show after she mocked Parkland, Fla., high school shooting survivor David Hogg for getting rejected by some colleges.

Hogg began targeting the Fox News host’s advertisers after her tweet.

Ingraham apologized for her comments on Thursday after advertisers began to drop her show.

Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David…(1/2)

… 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. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)
