Parkland student David Hogg has led a boycott of advertisers on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show after she criticized him for complaining about being rejected by certain colleges.
Now, MSNBC may get the same treatment over a tweet from former contributor Kurt Eichenwald.
Eichenwald attacked and insulted Parkland student Kyle Kashuv in a tweet: “You continue to disappoint.Trafficking in fantasies, fine. Your followers are infantile, your only form of debate is insult. And you wonder why I have no respect for you.”
The attack came after Eichenwald called for civility in the gun control conversation and to keep the harassment of the kids out of it.
Some conservative pundits will never understand -YES, attacking the Parkland kids personally, insulting HOW they said things rather than substance of what they say, is off limits.
If you have nothing to add but invective and name-calling in ANY debate, you have nothing to add.

In response, Kashuv sent out a list of advertisers on MSNBC to boycott.
Here’s the sponsors for @MSNBC that we should now boycott.
Smile Direct Club $640K
Jeep $540K
Proactiv $379K
Otezla $318K
Office Depot $288K
Cadillac $287K
Trivago $269K
Sleep Number $263K
Humira $261K
Omaha Steaks $244K— Kyle Kashuv (@KyleKashuv) March 30, 2018
Kashuv has been an outspoken defender of the Second Amendment.
Perhaps realizing his hypocritical mistake, Eichenwald deleted the tweet and apologized to Kashuv
I owe an apology to @KyleKashuv. I have no idea how many times I have commented to him. There is a high school kid who has a podcast who keeps challenging me to debates with insults. I mixed up their names. Please ignore every tweet Ive sent. They were written for someone else.

Eichenwald also made sure everyone knew he was no longer an MSNBC contributor:
For those – like @benshapiro – who are taking my entire situation with @KyleKashuv to push a lie (I thought he was someone else) – stop going after @MSNBC. My contributor contact with them expired more than a month ago. Not with them. Need to edit my profile.

In response, Kashuv accepted the apology:
On a more serious note, Kurt: If you made a mistake and you’re truly sorry, apology accepted. We should all be more forgiving — including you (and others) of Laura Ingraham.
When will you and MSNBC do the same for Laura? https://t.co/x8W5mkD85T

I call on @kurteichenwald to publicly accept @IngrahamAngle apology to @davidhogg111 just as I accepted your apology.
Mistakes happen. Doesn’t mean it should be the end of their career.

Ingraham has likewise apologized to Hogg. To date, Hogg has not accepted the apology and has doubled down on his call to strip the show of advertisers.
