Sandals is the Latest to Pull its Ads from Racist Tucker Carlson's Show Over Comments He Made About 'Black Lives' on FoxNews but White Viewers Still Watch: Seen by 4.2 Million Racists on Monday

From [HERE] Sandals Resorts International has pulled its ads that were placed during the Tucker Carlson show on American TV station Fox.
In a statement advising of the decision, Sandals said it does not support the negative sentiments expressed by Carlson on his show in relation to the Black Lives Matter movement.
“We buy spots on cable television and not on specific shows,” Sandals explained. “The fact that viewers found the comments offensive was enough for us to pull our advertising.” In other words Sandals still advertises on racist FoxNews, just not on Tucker’s show. [MORE]
Other major companies such as Walt Disney, Papa John's, Poshmark and T-Mobile have distanced themselves from the show.
According to the NYT, “On [last] Monday’s segment of his prime-time show, the Fox News host Tucker Carlson cast doubt on the reasons behind the worldwide unrest prompted by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.
“This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through,” Mr. Carlson said. “But it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.” He also dismissed demonstrators as “criminal mobs.”
Since he made those statements and others, prominent companies including the Walt Disney Company, Papa John’s, Poshmark and T-Mobile have distanced themselves from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” joining other businesses that have backed away from the show in recent years. [MORE]
