On Thursday, HuffPost ran “Tucker Carlson Loses Advertisers After Racist Comments AGAIN.”
From the article:
Tucker Carlson keeps repeating his own dumb history. The Fox News host again is losing advertisers after saying racist stuff. Disney, T-Mobile, Papa John’s and Vari have pulled their commercials from Tucker Carlson Tonight…
Here’s how the piece pointed to the “R” word:
The exodus came after Carlson on Monday warned viewers of his popular show on the conservative cable network that Black Lives Matters protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd were “not about Black lives, and remember that when they come for you.”
To be clear, he didn’t make that remark about “protests,” but, rather, “this moment we’re living through,” “theft and mayhem,” and “the rage of the mob.”
Either way, the end result was the same.
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert bid Tucker adieu:
sangriapapi @DrNygard · Jun 9, 2020 Replying to @GoAngelo and 4 others @MikeSievert dropping @TMobile if this is the type of message they support.
Mike Sievert ✔ @MikeSievert It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter

thank Christ i don’t buy/pay for anything from these.
Funny thing is I don’t remember seeing their advertisement on Tucker.
Tucker Carlson Show, brought to you by My Pillow.
papa john’s isn’t pizza anyway.
I grew up eating home made pizza.
I have had whatever it is supposed to be from papa johns.
It ain’t pizza so it’s no one’s big loss.
Its amazing how corporate America finds the need to become political enforcers for the Left.
Our economy is sick.
Why do Disney and T-Mobile support an Anti-Semitic group of racist anarchists that support cop-killing?
So hard to convince people that it’s the advertisers who determine what’s shown on TV.
I don’t understand why people fight this fact. It’s shown time and again!
Tucker has plenty of advertisers
Tucker is hitting them hard and they have to silence him. His voice cannot be tolerated. Their efforts to take him off the air is an indicator that is program is effective.
I don’t use T Mobile or watch anything Disney any more, ever since Disney got co-opted by leftist goons.
It’s a Pyrrhic victory. It’s the same playbook the Left did to Rush in the 1990s and recently when Media Matters tried to smear him. A lot of advertisers left Rush only to see more advertisers jump in who understood the Left’s playbook and their audience and ignored the catcalls. Tucker isn’t going anywhere, in fact these advertisers who “left” will simply advertise on other Fox programs if they haven’t done so already. Advertisers in the end care about one thing: eyeballs or listeners, and they sure as Hell aren’t going to get it advertising on CNN or MSNBC.

If one digs deep enough there is probably evidence that the offense has less to do with politics than with the Spiritual aspects of “one nation under God” that is offensive to these sponsors.
The left in this country chase after false gods at full speed ahead.
Pray for our nation, the battle line is SPIRITUAL not Political!
works both ways,...if i were him, id scroll each companies name and ask his viewers to boycott them in return...
I don’t recall seeing any of these advertisers on Tucker...mostly just Fox promos and My Pillow.
Nope. Profits.
Profit for advertising comes from those most manipuable by advertising- the stupid.
You are so right... this is spiritual warfare.
These advertisers are boycotting the viewers. Tucker is just in the way.
Papa John’s pizza definitely sucks. I rarely ever bought it before and never will now.
Plenty of good pizzerias in my neck of the woods.
I can't imagine having to eat Papa Johns.
I bet that it does suck.
