CNN's Alisyn Camerota incredulously asks David Hogg to explain how 'dumbass' colleges possibly rejected him
It's college acceptance season, and if it were up to CNN's Alisyn Camerota, things would be shaking out a little differently.
On Friday's New Day, Camerota's guest was David Hogg, the teenaged survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that took 17 lives last month. Hogg has emerged as a national figure in the fight for gun control, and on Wednesday that attracted the scorn of Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who responded to Hogg's revealing that he received rejections from several colleges by mocking the teen for "whining."
