These companies have suspended their advertising on Tucker Carlson's show after he opined that immigrants make America "poorer, and dirtier, and more divided."

@indeed

I'll be watching tonight to see which companies are standing by Tucker.
@pacificlife @smiledirectclub @indeed Tucker thinks he can end the controversy by stating "I like immigrants"

This is exactly Trump's approach. He called Mexican immigrants rapists and "good people."

I'll have a full report on Tucker's advertisers in my newsletter.

1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.

1. Trump appears edging toward declaring a "national emergency" and attempting to unilaterally build the wall.

This could backfire spectacularly.

Let's review.

popular.info/p/the-authorit…
2. Under the National Emergencies Act of 1976, if Trump declares a national emergency to build the wall, the House could immediately pass a resolution to rescind it.

The Senate would then need to vote on the House's resolution within 18 days.

popular.info/p/the-authorit…
3. So it would require 50 Republican Senators to vote to undermine and subvert their own legislative authority.

This seems unlikely.

On the other hand, Republicans in the Senate have been generally unwilling to stand up to Trump

Trump, according to Schumer, threatened to keep the gov't closed for years unless he gets his wall.

Hundreds of thousands of government employees are not getting paid.

Trump, who has never had to live paycheck-to-paycheck, is oblivious to the cruelty

Folks, it's almost the new year and 2018 has been a total disaster for Tucker Carlson. Advertisers are fleeing his show, but before you judge he wants you to know that he does care about racism ... against white people. Here's a round-up of Tucker's year in "reverse racism":
In January, he was really upset about a Buzzfeed listicle called "37 Things White People Need to Stop Ruining in 2018". He said pieces like this explain why people are embracing white nationalism. mediamatters.org/video/2018/01/…
Later in the show he hosted neo-Nazi sympathizer Chadwick Moore, where together they explained that WOC don't experience racism thinkprogress.org/tucker-carlson…

The Trump admin is using Central & South American #Immigrants as scapegoats to drum up fear & xenophobia in their base, which is primarily white, and terrified at the idea of white people no longer being the majority in the US. 1/7 #BorderWall
Since his campaign kickoff, Trump had demonized Latino immigrants as violent criminals.

This gives bigots and #whitesupremacists (public & closeted) incentive to vote GOP to MAGA, which is code for "make America white again". 2/7
It's legal to present yourself at a border crossing point to apply for #asylum, so Customs & Border Patrol make it difficult to do so.

#AsylumSeekers are forced to wait for weeks in squalid conditions. Desperation builds. 3/7

Pacific Life insurance, which has advertised on Tucker Carlson's show for a year, said they "strongly disagree" with his comments last night about immigration and are pausing their ads on his show for the next few weeks as they "reevaluate" relationship hollywoodreporter.com/news/pacific-l…
Farmers Insurance (@WeAreFarmers), which also advertised during Carlson's Thursday night show, suggests in a statement that they aren't pulling ads:
UPDATE - @smiledirectclub, which advertised on Carlson’s Thursday and Friday night shows, tells me: “We are actively working with our media buyers to confirm that SmileDirectClub is no longer running our ads around any political opinion shows.”
