FULL HEASDER: Hall of shame: Advertisers sign up for boycott of Tucker Carlson for telling the truth on illegal immigration

The mau-mauing of Trump as a racist can’t be accomplished on them, raising awkward questions about Trump’s accusers.

For generating such a powerful argument, Carlson is now being mau-maued himself, with an advertiser boycott underway. On his program Monday, he spoke of his intent to soldier on:

"We plan to say what’s true until the last day. And the truth is, unregulated mass immigration has badly hurt this country’s natural landscape. Take a trip to or southwestern deserts if you don’t believe it. Thanks to illegal immigration, huge swaths of the region are covered with garbage and waste that degrade the soil and kill wildlife.”

After Tucker's Trump-bashing, I'm finding it hard to

[Westbrook]

I’ve never even heard of any of those advertisers, so I won’t be missing much from boycotting them in return.

May it backfire on them mightily.

[headstamp 2]

More corporate virtue signaling.

And the left screams about McCarthyism and blacklisting.

[rktman]

Yeah, #me2. Truth will NOT be tolerated. LOL! Since we cut the cable, life is more pleasant.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I continue to maintain the main problem is that corporate PR departments are staffed with Millenial females who are graduates of university brainwashing programs and addicted to social media.

Five orchestrated negative Tweets and they are in the CEO’s office screaming that the sky is falling.

It's always a mistake to give up a chance for face-time with someone who might buy your products because they saw an ad during a program they watch regularly. These companies are practically boycotting themselves.

You are 100% correct. These Marketing gals come into my wife’s office all the time straight out of college. They are all peddling the same exact line. “Younger consumers are only interested in companies that work towards social justice”. They’ve been teaching them that at University for years.

My wife simply counters with, “ok, lets see your data on that”. They NEVER have an answer.

[Ron H.]

Oh hell, here we go again. Another thin skinned snowflake got their feelings a little singed and now once again they want to destroy Tucker Carlsons right to freedom of speech and his career. The lunacy just knows no bounds for these liberal crybaby snowflakes it seems.

What is Social Justice?

Your wife is not as intellectually lazy as the average CEO.

It is ok when the Left does it.

[Truth29]

Looking at that list of advertisers, the one that stands out for me as an easy target for counter demonstrations and direct action is IHOP. For those so inclined, go into your local IHOP with ICE logos, make comments about La Migra and generally indicate that the location is going to be raided. Watch the staff run out the back door.

[daler]

I can't recall any kind of similar advertising boycott of left-wing news or entertainment programs for their countless offensive comments.

These organized ad withdrawals are totally one-sided.

14) ScotteVest

This is the company/ owner that said something to the effect of “anybody that buys his product is knuckle dragging mouth breather?”

[Hildy]

It’s come to this time where it’s not even just a statement to boycott companies AND HOLLYWOOD. They have to understand there is a price to pay and if they want to pay it, fine. WE are losing our Country. WE ARE LOSING.

COMMUNISM.

I don’t think I saw any company I have any dealing with on the list anyway.

Well that sucks. I wanted to drive a faggy SUV while wearing overpriced glasses to go get overpriced pancakes while using faggy hair gel and pay for it with an unheard of credit card that I keep in my faggy vest. Bummer.
