Tucker Carlson Returns From His Racism Vacation With Far Fewer Advertisers
Earlier this month, Tucker Carlson claimed on air that the dangers of white supremacy are a “hoax,” a move that prompted quite a few of his advertisers to flee and coincidentally coincided with him taking a quick trip “to the wilderness”. On Monday night, he returned from his racism vacation, but unfortunately for him, it doesn’t seem like his erstwhile advertisers will be back.
According to Media Matters for America, Carlson’s lost more than 70 paid advertisers since last December (a 60 percent drop!) in large part because generally he keeps saying unhinged and racist shit. Five of those advertisers have departed in the 11 days since Carlson spewed his stupid thoughts on white supremacy, including HelloFresh and Nestlé, and Long John Silver’s dumped Fox News altogether.
