Parkland survivor Lauren Hogg tells Fox News host to 'grow up' and accuses her of cyberbullying

'If you ask me, he is more articulate than you and has far better character,' Lauren Hogg tweets. 'Man, that’s real low even for you'

A survivor of the Florida high school shooting has accused Fox News host Laura Ingraham of cyberbullying, after she said her brother had whined about getting rejected from four colleges.

Lauren Hogg told the Ingraham Angle host to, "grow up" after she took to Twitter, to criticise her brother David Hogg, who also survived the massacre which left 17 people dead at the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland.

Mr Hogg has since gone on to become a vocal proponent of gun control, which has led to criticism from some quarters.

On her Twitter feed, Ms Ingraham wrote: “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.)”

Defending her brother on the social media site, Ms Hogg tweeted: “How low are your ratings @IngrahamAngle that you have to start attacking my brother’s grades to get attention?

“If you ask me, he is more articulate than you and has far better character. Man, that’s real low even for you. Coming from a 14 year old, please grow up. #NeverAgain”

Her brother, Mr Hogg, called for advertisers to boycott Ms Ingraham’s show, the “Ingraham Angle”.

Over the weekend addressed a crowd of thousands at the Washington DC March For Our Lives rally and the teenager welcomed demonstrators to the “revolution” for stricter gun laws.

Mr Hogg called for politicians who are supported by the National Rifle Association to get their “resumes ready”.

Far right sites, such as Breitbart and InfoWars, claimed Mr Hogg’s decision to finish his speech by triumphantly raising his hand in the air was reminiscent of Hitler’s Nazi salute.

InfoWars founder Alex Jones, dubbed America’s leading conspiracy theorist, attacked the rally as a “Hitler Youth invasion” and called Mr Hogg “the chief propagandist in the left-wing fascist ‘Hitler Youth’ army.”
