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."

Make a note about these BLM run companies.
Tucker is not going anywhere... they’re bitching because he’s right on target and doing damage....
the myPillow can sponsor him all day.
All of these black lives matter appeasers will be the first ones that will be torn limb from limb and beheaded. It will actually be humorous.
Sayanora T-Mobile, Papa John’s and ALL other entities bowing to BLM.
Papa John’s just lost an old customer. While there pizza is tolerable their stupid politics are not.
It's what happened to Rush.
T Mobile...is the loser in this exchange. Tucker has a right to express his views, or doesn’t he..
Every company takes T-Mobile’s perspective. It speaks volumes that there isn’t one company that will openly support Tucker Carlson. BLM has corporate America in an arm bar.
Put your money where your mouth is, Mr. CEO, give up your job to a black man.
So, we know who is easily coerced, intimidated, and extorted with lies and fraud. Nothing new really.
Bye bye T-Mobile and papa johns
Tucker is the one voice of truth and that want him silenced.
Bye bye T-Mobile! Your virtue signaling is going to cost business. I wonder what the shareholders will think.
T-Mobile should be specific about what was inaccurate with what Tucker said.
We all know the answer. Nothing was incorrect. He stated the truth.
I have T-Mobile and would love to drop them over this, but I doubt there is a carrier who is any different.
Like I really want to get my phone from the German National Telephone Company
So the truth is "definitely not" what T-Mobile and Mike Sievert support, apparently.
The far left message of eliminating two parent families apparently is.
Patriot Mobile, maybe?
