Companies including T-Mobile and Papa John's Pizza are distancing themselves from Tucker Carlson's television show on Fox News after the conservative host's dismissive comments about the Black Lives Matters movement.
The backlash intensified after Carlson on Monday offered an inflammatory take on the nationwide anti-racism demonstrations that have followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
"This may be a lot of things, this moment we're living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will," Carlson told viewers on June 8, the first day of Floyd's memorial in his adopted hometown of Houston.
Asked by a Twitter user the next day if Carlson's message was one T-Mobile supported, CEO Mike Sievert tweeted back, "It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter."
In fact, the telecom said in a subsequent tweet that it had cut ties with Carlson in early May, noting that it had "cancelled all future placements" and that T-Mobile will "continue to support those who stand against racial injustice."

“I would like to order a large pizza with
Bye bye Papa John’s spelled out in pepperoni, please”. When you deliver it to my house please knock loudly. I’ll be listening to Tucker Carlson and I may not hear you..”
Tucker will be canceled soon, I predict.
[Every company takes T-Mobiles perspective. It speaks volumes that there isnt one company that will openly support Tucker Carlson. BLM has corporate America in an arm bar.]
For a sane alternative, Id recommend to everyone Patriot Mobile. They actually contribute to conservative causes and shun leftist ones.

And My Pillow.
I would think many more businesses would want to advertise on Tucker’s show. He’s getting the eyeballs now. I dropped Papa John’s when they canned the founder. TMobile? Please. Will never get my business. These people are stupid.
?????
Please explain
They have tried boycotting Hannity for over 10 years and he is still at Fox and still the top rated program on cable.
Same with Laura.
Meanwhile Fox News continues to make huge profits.
T-Mobile gives discounts to Police Officers.
HE, Tucker, has as much right to express his views as these companies have the right to choose, good or bad, to choose where their advertising dollars go. As a consumer we have the right to choose which companies we choose to spend our hard earned dollars. If enough of these companies lose to much money they either go out of business or downsize in large numbers until they eventually go out of business. T-Mobile is not too far away from going out of business as a deal just fell through for them. So T-mobile’s decision was more predicated on that deal that fell through than wht Tucker said. To think otherwise is nothing more than falling prey to the demoncrat agenda and you might as well go join and your time with the seedy world of dummies underground.
Tucker Carlson is one of the few who has been telling us we have been duped by thugs and thieves, that is including the elected stooges who have failed to protect their towns and cities.
Do black people realize they’re being pandered to?
Well, if no one agrees to advertise on his show except for My Pillow, how will the show pay its bills? Ads are the lifeblood of TV shows.
Over the target Taking flak
Tucker - the most powerful man in news.
Any links to anti Semitic comments? I might have use for them.
I can’t remember exactly, But this is not first time that Papa John’s has taken a leftist stand lately. I would not buy anything from them.
I quit Papa John’s when I found out Jerry Jones owns more than 90 stores.
Like George Bailey, the hatriots will come to their reckoning all of a sudden because of their avaricious nihilism.
I use Consumer Cellular, service has been great.
