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.”

As more and more of our population is composed of trafficked foreigners, I assure you more and more people don’t give a sh!t about “social justice” when shopping. I live a few miles south of a mall next to Giants Stadium in the meadowlands here in NJ, and this mall (Xanadu/American Dream), completed years ago, never opened. Instead, every Saturday in a neighboring parking lot you can watch thousands and thousands of people buy merchandise in the weekly flea market. Cell phone gear, clothing, electronics (drones and such), gardening/landscaping items - right next to a brand-new, never-opened mall. Money talks, and bullsh!t (including social justice) walks...

Some of those travelers could probably use some of those items. Where’s the care? :-)

15) TD Ameritrade

A spokesperson for TD Ameritrade told HuffPost, “We support a very diverse client base, and we make every effort to advertise on a variety of networks and programs.” “Our intent is to remain politically neutral. It’s possible we may have had a small number of ads run on the program tied to a broader media buy with Fox News. Once news broke about this issue, we instructed our media buying team to avoid the show in the future,” the spokesperson continued. "Our intent is to remain politically neutral."

Looks like they failed miserably on the "politically neutral" part.

“This is a decision that we believe is in-line with the strong values of our organization — one of which is People Matter.”

"“This is a decision that we believe is in-line with the weak kneed, spineless values of our organization — one of which is People of color Matter and to Hell with tax paying American Citizens.”;

There, I fixed it.

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

EXACTLY! You nailed it.

Any company stupid enough to be bullied by social media doesn’t deserve customers.

IMO Twitter was developed specifically for the purpose of herding the sheep in this manner.

ScotEVest was the company whose owner said on Facebook

"I laugh to myself, and tell them that we primarily advertise on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell than other networks," Jordan wrote in the post. "I get to tell them they are (expletive) idiots while getting rich off them."

Can't believe this prick has the gall to advertise on Fox. And shame on any conservative who buys his crap.

I heard a story once about a guy who used to pick up bunches of illegals looking for day jobs in front of the local Home Depot in Houston. He loaded them in the back of his pickup and drove around for about ten miles over the worse roads he could find before dropping them off in front of the then INS Headquarters and watching them scatter. Was that wrong? ;-)

I have never used any of those advertisers in at least 10 years. The last one was ihop.

Just guessing, but it’s likely that those companies are patronized more by viewers of Tucker Carlson than by unwashed Leftist lunatics. If that’s how a business responds to a Leftist internet attack, their leadership is weak.

There is a difference between Trump-bashing (CNN/MSNBC nonstop hatred) and telling uncomfortable truths about him and his behavior. He ain’t no saint!

Rush doesn’t get targeted by these bozos nearly as much since he fought back against them. He was able to track and identify the handful of pajama-wearing basement dwellers who use bots to spam the advertisers and make it look like thousands of complaints. Then he took the proof to the sponsors, most of whom relented. Tucker’s a fighter and I hope he does the same. By the way, I like your new tagline :-)

“They NEVER have an answer’’. Doesn’t surprise me.A good number of my nieces and nephews have been brainwashed in college and are incapable of critical thinking or even making a coherent argument. They haven’t been taught to do so. They’ve only been fed rote bs and when I’ve challenged them on something, that’s when my siblings (their parents)chime in and tell me to stop antagonizing them. These kids are in for a rude awakening someday.
