With the full backing of Fox News brass, Tucker Carlson now has zero holding him back from advancing white supremacist rhetoric to millions.

Which corporations are still willing to stand with this network? Which advertisers see nothing wrong with Replacement theory?
Which cable companies will stand by a network whose host called white supremacy a “hoax” and will continue to make its customers pay $24 a year for it?
Which shareholders and funds see nothing wrong with a host who said Immigrants make our country “poorer, dirtier and more divided”?
Can the @NFL, who just did a massive deal with this company, stand by comments that almost exactly mirror the “Jews will not replace us” chants from Charlottesville?
Fox does not stand alone. They require plenty of other companies, organizations and individuals to continue to inject these fringe racist ideas into the mainstream.

They all need to answer why they’re helping to enable it.

When a platform makes its users sign massive legal agreements, yet they don’t meet the extremely low bar of, you know, NOT EXPOSING ALL OF THEM TO FRAUD AND INVASION OF PRIVACY, there needs to be some recourse.
Imagine if a bank just *lost* money from 500 million customers. It would be in the news for the next 5 years, there would be massive investigations and they’d be sued into the ground.

Yet, @facebook loses the personal information of half a BILLION users and no one cares.

Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist.
Each week, distributors like @ATT @xfinity @GetSpectrum @YouTubeTV @verizonfios @DIRECTV and @dish amplify their ideas from this white supremacist to millions.
Everyday, companies like @KraftHeinzCo @progressive @CharlesSchwab @pfizer @ProcterGamble @amazon @allstate & @verizon send millions in advertising dollars to the network that broadcasts this white supremacist.

Today, raging racist Steven Crowder pretended to be George Floyd as he was murdered.

This is being monetized by @youtube via advertisers.

Advertisers should walk out on @SusanWojcicki’s platform en masse if Crowder is not banned for this. This is not a safe platform for them.
Like Alex Jones, @YouTube built this person’s career by giving him reach far beyond what he’d ever get without them and handed him millions in ad dollars for the privilege.

@TeamYouTube continues to make the world a worse place by giving amplification to the very worst humans.
Advertisers who posted and tweeted in support of racial justice last summer should, if they really meant it, walk out of @YouTube until they do something about this and the rampant racism that is amplified and rewarded on this platform.

A few things on this:

1) Corporations are not “woke”. They know where the money is. They have looked at the market and realized that supporting the curtailing of voting rights is not good for business. Or at least not as good for business and coming out against it.
2) Corporations are trying to appeal to more people than less. The idea of subtraction isn’t what they’re interested in. They’re against the curtailing of voting rights because people will be subtracted, not added. That doesn’t meet their mission.
3) The game was given away when it was made illegal to bring people food or water while waiting in line to vote. The Georgia legislature could have given these companies more than ample coverage to deny what this clearly is without it. This was an unbelievable own goal.

How do Georgia corporations justify their silence here when they spent all summer posting that Black Lives Matter?
Last summer, @CocaCola created an entire program for “greater racial equity in our communities”.

Silence today on keeping Black people from voting.

coca-colacompany.com/shared-future/…
.@HomeDepot, another Georgia company, gave $1 million to “promote actionable change” in racial equality.

Today? No statement on restrictive voting for Black communities.
