Laura Ingraham didn’t miss a beat Monday night when she returned from her week-long vacation after her controversial comment towards Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg that led to at least 16 advertisers dropping out of her program. The Fox News Channel host forged ahead with her opinions and joked she was glad that she didn’t have a Google alert on her name over her vacation. 
 
 During her return to The Ingraham Angle, she didn’t directly address the controversial comments towards Hogg nor the apology she made via Twitter. Instead, she focused on “the Left’s plot to silence conservatives.” 
 
 She went on to criticize “the Left” saying that they don’t invite voices to enter public discussion. She said that “they drive out any dissenting voice” and added that there is “a contraction of free speech all around us.” 
 
 The end of her show included a self-explanatory segment called “Defending the First” which exposes the “enemies of the First Amendment.” Considering her current situation and her brand, the segment seems right up her alley. 
 
 Ingraham was slammed when she mocked high-schooler Hogg for a tweet in which he complained he had not been accepted by several colleges to which he had applied. When he responded with a call for an advertiser boycott, and sponsort began pulling spots, Ingraham issued an apology on Twitter that Hogg rejected because, he told CNN, it came only after she lost advertisers and she had “basically tried promoting her show after ‘apologizing’.” More advertisers pulled out of the show as Ingraham began a scheduld week off, while her supporters started a #IStandWithLaura campaign to boycott exiting advertisers. 

 Laura Ingraham’s return to Fox News tonight doesn’t mark the end of her bad news: Allstate insurance has quietly dropped Ingraham’s show, telling employees in an internal memo that her comments about Parkland student David Hogg were “inconsistent” with company values. 
 
 Ingraham returned to “The Ingraham Angle” Monday night after the week-long vacation she announced amid the fallout over her comments. In a March 31 memo, obtained by TheWrap, Allstate said it severed ties with Ingraham’s show on Wednesday, March 28. That was the day Ingraham posted a tweet accusing Hogg of “whining” that he didn’t get into several colleges. Allstate is at least the 20th advertiser to drop Ingraham. 
 
 “Laura Ingraham’s comments about David Hogg were inconsistent with our values,” the memo read. “Allstate believes in youth empowerment and last year helped 5 million youth find their voices and take action to make the world better. We have not advertised on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ since Wednesday. We hope our youth can help us find a path to a less divisive future.”

 Three Allstate customers, who do not know each other, sent TheWrap emails that they said were sent by their Allstate agents which included the exact same statement used in the memo. 
 
 A spokeswoman for the company would not confirm the memo’s authenticity, only saying: “We’ve taken note of your concern.” 
 
 When asked if the company had any future ads scheduled to appear on the show, the spokeswoman said: “I cannot answer that question.” 
 
 This isn’t the first time a company has subtly dropped “The Ingraham Angle.” Some advertisers have struggled with the Ingraham issue, trying to distance themselves from her tweet about Hogg without offending conservative customers who may agree with her on other issues. 
 
 As TheWrap first reported last week, Ace Hardware also quietly dropped Ingraham but did not send a statement announcing its decision. 
 
 Men’s clothing retailer Jos A Bank has said it never bought ads on Ingraham’s show specifically, but rather from Fox News. Still, ads for the clothing company have stopped appearing on the show since the flap arose, according to liberal watchdog group Media Matters.

 Because of the questions over whether Jos A. Bank advertised with Fox News or Ingraham, TheWrap is not counting it among the 20 advertisers that have dropped her show. 
 
 Hogg responded to Ingraham’s March 28 tweet by urging his followers on social media to target Ingraham’s advertisers. Ingraham subsequently apologized, and noted that anyone would be proud of his 4.1 GPA. 
 
 Since the “whining” tweet, “The Ingraham Angle” has had its ad time cut roughly in half, according to CNN. 
 
 Ingraham went on vacation two days after her tweet, and is scheduled to return to the airwaves tonight. 
 
 Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 Known for his "heat phone" and pro-Trump bent, St. Louis radio and TV host Jamie Allman is now facing calls for boycott over a tweet indicating his desire to introduce a heated fireplace implement to the ass of a Parkland shooting survivor.The student, seventeen-year-old David Hogg, has been a vocal advocate of gun control.Like other conservative commentators, Allman — whose platforms include a morning radio show at 97.1 FM andon the ABC affiliate KDNL — has been critical of Hogg's role in urging a boycott of Fox News pundit Laura Ingraham, who last week took to Twitter to mock the teen for being rejected by several colleges. Ingraham was subsequently accused of bullying Hogg for cheap attention, and since then a dozen advertisers have removed themselves from Ingraham's show.But even before the Ingraham controversy broke, the role of Hogg and other Parkland shooting survivors in the national gun debate was raising complicated questions, as pundits across the conservative spectrum have argued that the teens shouldn't be protected from criticism simply because of their age and status as victims of a traumatic mass shooting.Granted, that's a much nicer way to put it than Allman did last week, when he hopped on Twitter to boast that he was "getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg's ass."Notably, Allman tweeted the above missive on March 26, two days before the Ingraham controversy broke, but a screenshot began circulating in recent days that's drawn new attention to the adult man casually joking about how he'd like to assault a teen shooting-survivor's butt.And like Ingraham, Allman is starting to take some heat. Last night, Missouri Representative Stacey Newman (D-St. Louis), a longtime supporter of increased gun control, called Allman out in a Facebook post. In it, Newman also leveled criticism at Allman for his support of failed Parkway School Board candidate and self-described "Confederate" Jeanie Ames."We demand advertisers stop being complicit," Newman wrote. "Stop supporting an adult who spews such hate."Allman hasn't kept his opinions about Hogg restricted to Twitter. On, which airs on Channel 30, a segment last week touched on the boycott of Ingraham and whether Hogg was a reasonable target for critique."You can't say 'Hey I'm just a kid," Allman said of Hogg. "We have to be allowed to refute what you're saying... or to respond to it, you can't be all the time grabbing your blanket when the going gets tough."During the segment, Allman repeatedly noted that Hogg liked dropping "f-bombs" and that he should expect to receive push-back if he's going to "get his hands dirty" in political issues.Allman added, "Just be a grownup about it." Which, in Allman's world, apparently means being threatened publicly with sodomy before you're even old enough to vote. How very grown up of him.
– Laura Ingraham returned to her Fox News show Monday night, as promised by the network, after a week off from the controversy over her snarky tweet toward Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg. But although Ingraham didn't mention the hubbub directly, Deadline notes she was back Monday in "full force," seeming to touch on the advertisers fleeing The Ingraham Angle after 17-year-old Hogg asked them to boycott the show. Her main target: "the Left," which she accused of scheming to "silence conservatives," "drive out any dissenting voice," and cause a "contraction of free speech all around us." Ingraham capped the show off with a segment on the First Amendment and its "enemies." Another big name who doesn't care for the advertiser boycott, per the Washington Post: Bill Maher. "I want to defend Laura Ingraham," Maher said Friday on his HBO show, adding she is a "deliberately terrible person." But while Maher said the Parkland kids have done a "great thing" on gun safety, he noted "people are going to have the right to argue back." Just because Maher doesn't like the boycott hasn't stopped more advertisers from defecting. Allstate apparently ended things with Ingraham on March 28, the day of her tweet, per a March 31 internal memo to employees obtained by the Wrap. "Laura Ingraham's comments about David Hogg were inconsistent with our values," the memo noted, adding Allstate, the 20th advertiser to leave, hopes "our youth can help us find a path to a less divisive future." Meanwhile, a Sinclair TV station commentator resigned this week after saying he wanted to sexually assault Hogg with a "hot poker," per the Post (screenshot of his tweet here).
