Conservative Parkland student calling for advertiser boycott of MSNBC after former correspondent attacked him
(National Sentinel) Turnabout: A pro-Second Amendment student who survived the Parkland, Fla., school shootings in February is calling for a boycott of advertisers on the Left-leaning MSNBC after a former correspondent for the network berated him on social media.

Kyle Kashuv issued the call after he was attacked by liberal network contributor Kurt Eichenwald, who tweeted at Kashuv, “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 Kashuv called for “civility” in discussing gun-related issues as they pertain to improving school safety.
Kashuv’s call to action comes after anti-gun Parkland student David Hogg called for advertisers to boycott Fox News‘ “The Ingraham Angle,” hosted by Laura Ingraham. By week’s end nearly a dozen advertisers agreed to do so.
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 tweeted out some MSNBC advertisers:

Kashuv also called on Eichenwald to call on MSNBC and Hogg to accept Ingraham’s apology, which she made last week “in the spirit of Holy Week.”
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.

Hogg did not accept Ingraham’s apology but rather has doubled down on the advertiser boycott.
