Allstate Quietly Drops Laura Ingraham in Internal Memo to Employees (Exclusive)
The Wrap ^ | Last Updated: April 9, 2018 @ 2:07 PM | Itay Hod

Laura Ingraham’s return to Fox News tonight doesn’t mark the end of her bad news: Allstate insurance has quietly dropped Ingraham’s show, telling employees in an internal memo that her comments about Parkland student David Hogg were “inconsistent” with company values.

Ingraham is expected back on the air tonight after a vacation she announced amid the fallout over her comments. In a March 31 memo, obtained by TheWrap, Allstate said it severed ties with Ingraham’s show on Wednesday, March 28. That was the day Ingraham posted a tweet accusing Hogg of “whining” that he didn’t get into several colleges. Allstate is at least the 20th advertiser to drop Ingraham.

“Laura Ingraham’s comments about David Hogg were inconsistent with our values,” the memo read. “Allstate believes in youth empowerment and last year helped 5 million youth find their voices and take action to make the world better. We have not advertised on ‘The Ingraham Angle’ since Wednesday. We hope our youth can help us find a path to a less divisive future.”

A spokeswoman for the company would not confirm the memo’s authenticity, only saying: “We’ve taken note of your concern.”

When asked if the company had any future ads scheduled to appear on the show, the spokeswoman said: “I cannot answer that question.”

I just emailed Allstate. I have been with them for almost 50 years. But if they want to side against me in my fight to restore the Second Amendment I will cut them off without a thought.

I'm thinking of contacting AAA. Anybody have an opinion about them?

“The parents are in bed and the wife just announces his punishment. No discussion with the husband at all.”

I hate that ad, too. The kid reminds me of the pajama boy in the Obamacare commercial. And he’s such a smart ass. Creepy.

I’ve had Allstate home and auto for a while if this is true. The USAA group contacted me. I’m a vet and American Legion member. Look like it’s time to change.

Dear Allstate,

THANK YOU!

We found about 14 national companies with better rates and MUCH better customer service.

2010 hailstorm here in CO and right in the middle of nearly 300 homes was ONE who didn’t get a new roof approved....new homeowner with Allstate.
Hadn’t paid enough in premiums for them to justify such a large claim.
(of course that is not what they said out loud...”not enough damage”, which was contradicted by several inspectors)

That is version 2.0 of that commercial.

The kid’s lines are updated, but not the parents.

And you’re right, the kid’s lines are more smarmy.
(Dad’s have been relegated to furniture or idiots in most TV roles for the last 20 years.)

Just got off the phone with All State. Been a customer since 1984 and have 10 policies with them (house, umbrella, additional umbrella, all sorts of extra riders, 3 vehicles, and 4 whole life policies). Made only 2 tiny claims in the last 25 years. I am moving them all to another company tomorrow. That is thousands of lost revenue a year just from my family.

Was it “Spring Vacation” in the kids’ school district or not? It was here. Otherwise, I don’t believe it was pre-planned.

Yeah, that’ll teach em. You’ll scare em real real bad.

Actually, these left wing companies don’t want conservative customers regardless of the financial hit. Just like Starbucks, “We don’t want to serve customers who don’t agree with our values”. Their ideology is above their financial results.

We were just getting ready to look into switching to Allstate in a couple months, as we had heard they were reasonably priced, but now we will be looking elsewhere.

Can anyone here suggest a solid, reliable, reasonably priced alternative company for Auto & Home insurance?

Why would I do business with an insurance company that retreats as quickly as Allstate did? I’m not so sure I’d be “in good hands” with the cowering. They should hire Hogg to sell their policies. Imagine having to deal with an agent as arrogant, annoying, and obnoxious as Hogg Boy.

“Owned by a far lefty. Hence the “Progressive” name.”

He died. Not sure about present owners.


I've had Progressive since 2001. They've always been good to me.

The deviants have bought too many judges and lawyers. We were warned what would happen when the sodomites left their stinking closets 3000 years ago.
