Ace Hardware Resumes Laura Ingraham Advertising, Sparking Outrage
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ ^ | 4/13/18 | Jenna Amatulli

A spokeswoman for the hardware chain told The Wrap the company had “incomplete information” when it decided to stop advertising on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ace was among numerous companies that fled Ingraham’s show after she mocked David Hogg, a survivor of the February mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead.

“Advertising on any network or show, is in no way an endorsement from Ace of the content contained or spoken within that program,” the Ace spokeswoman said in a statement.

“We appreciate the different points of view from our customers, and believe people should be treated with respect and civility. ... At this time, we have not altered our current media schedule; however, we regularly review our media strategy.”

A week ago, an unnamed Ace spokeswoman confirmed “we do not have any plans to nationally advertise on Ingraham’s show in the future,” according to The Wrap.

HuffPost couldn’t immediately reach an Ace representative for comment.

“After her smirking, obnoxious behavior tonight, ...”

Wasn’t she awful? I’ve never seen Gorka so worked up. Good thing he wasn’t in studio, or I fear there’d have been bloodshed. She and MacGregor would’ve needed first aid.

Boycotts never last. If your product or service is worthwhile, boycotts can only cause temporary pain.

“...I’m going to contact Ace and ask them to resume the boycott.”

You do that, David...just go “Hogg wild” with it.

“I’m guess the numbers of conservatives who visit hardware stores is greater than the number of libs.“

Cause, meet effect.

Ace specializes in goods used for work and should have realized that leftists don’t work, meaning that these Marxists will never enter Ace and buy anything.

His words:

Or thereabouts.

After your smirking, obnoxious behavior today, I think I will contact Ace and congratulate them on their good judgement.

That’s good. Throw personal insults around like a little child. Did I hurt your little feelings?

I remember the orange juice boycott. People would go and buy carts full of orange juice to make up the difference.
