IHOP is joining the mass of advertisers abandoning Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show after his controversial comments about immigration last week.
"At our core, we stand for welcoming folks from all backgrounds and beliefs into our restaurants and continually evaluate advertising to ensure it aligns with our values," IHOP said in a statement to Business Insider.
"In this case, we will no longer be advertising on this show."
At least 12 advertisers have stopped advertising on the show since last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter, whichfirst reported the news that IHOP was cutting ties with Tucker Carlson's show.
Last Thursday, Carlson said in a segment that the US needed more "scientists and engineers," as the country seeks to fill automated and tech-centered jobs.
"Instead we're getting waves of people with high school educations or less. Nice people, no one doubts that, but as an economic matter this is insane. It's indefensible, so no one even tries to defend it," he said.
"Instead our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our country poorer and dirtier and more divided."

Kind of NY and illegal hiring related.
Hard hitting for 70s kid stuff I think. Kind of a sappy ending though.

We have eaten at IHOPs many times on family expeditions. That practice just ended.
So many Weak Willies out there.
I know this is not breaking news but there is a concerted effort to go after Tucker Carlson. It’s all coordinated. They must really think that he has some appeal and sway to be targeting him in this fashion.
I only recently discovered IHOP’s raspberry crepes. I am deeply saddened by this turn of events. ;)
Good point!..someone should do some research...
The first and last time I went was at least 40 years ago. I ordered an omelette. I arrived in a puddle if grease,
Conservatives should do the same with Liberal TV Hosts!!!
IHOP. For those times when Denny’s is just too upscale.....
keyboard spew alert
Good grief. What tucker said was spot on.
No IHOP for u
Never seen an IHOP that looks like that.
IHOP has oddly chosen to be, FOREVER, off that map.
Toodles.
Good Un’
Pancake Fight Club drops Tucker Carlson.
IHOP is the only 24 hour restaurant in our area, but I’m not going back. Besides, what kind of restaurant is “out of” one of their menu’s salad dressing choices, every time you eat there? That’s like saying, “Sorry. We’re out of ketchup”. I rarely eat pancakes, anyway.
Ancestry is tough for me to boycott. I’ve been working on my family tree for 5 years, so I have a lot invested there.
I have Family Tree Maker on a PC and can archive the tree there, but Ancestry is a darned good research tool.
LOL!
Pancakes, now with exotic microbes!
