IHOP is joining the mass of advertisers abandoning Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show after his controversial comments about immigration last week.
"At our core, we stand for welcoming folks from all backgrounds and beliefs into our restaurants and continually evaluate advertising to ensure it aligns with our values," IHOP said in a statement to Business Insider.
"In this case, we will no longer be advertising on this show."
At least 12 advertisers have stopped advertising on the show since last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter, whichfirst reported the news that IHOP was cutting ties with Tucker Carlson's show.
Last Thursday, Carlson said in a segment that the US needed more "scientists and engineers," as the country seeks to fill automated and tech-centered jobs.
"Instead we're getting waves of people with high school educations or less. Nice people, no one doubts that, but as an economic matter this is insane. It's indefensible, so no one even tries to defend it," he said.
"Instead our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our country poorer and dirtier and more divided."

Hopefully this kind of thing will finally shatter the long-running conservative worship of corporations which took off a few decades ago. Modern corporations are largely run by people who DESPISE conservatives. Never forget that.
IHOP restaurants in our area fairly fit Tucker’s description of those we are being asked to allow in to our country. I will be mentioning this to family and friends. We’ll stay away from GHOP - Globalist House of Pancakes.
IHOP is drawing another line in the sand. They are pushing, pushing, pushing for that Civil War to begin.
