    Default Pacific Life pulls ads from Tucker Carlson's show.....

    Keep hitting this scum in the wallet as that is the only thing they understand.

    Pacific Life pulls ads from Tucker Carlson's show after 'poorer and dirtier' immigration comment

    Insurance company Pacific Life announced Friday that it is pulling its advertisements from Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" after the host said the "immigration crisis" in America makes the country "poorer and dirtier and more divided."

    The action came after an advertisement from the company was shown on-screen right after Carlson made the comment on his opening monologue.

    The ad promoted the company as having been "protecting generations of families for 150 years."

    The company quickly received backlash on social media calling for it to distance itself from Carlson's program.

    Pacific Life said it would pull all ads from the show "in the coming weeks as we reevaluate our relationship with his program," according to a statement posted to Twitter.

    "One of our ads appeared on Tucker Carlson's show last night following a segment where Mr. Carlson made a number of statements regarding immigration," the company said.

    "As a company, we strongly disagree with Mr. Carlson's statements. Our customer base and our workforce reflect the diversity of our great nation, something we take great pride in," the statement also read.

    "We will not be advertising on Mr. Carlson's show in the coming weeks as we reevaluate our relationship with his program."

    A Fox News spokesperson in a statement shared with The Hill called controversy over Carlson's comments "unfortunate and unnecessary distractions."

    It was the bigoted, disrespectful manner in which he said it.

    Especially the "dirtier" part.

    It's no stretch of the imagination to interpret his comments as "dirty brown Mexicans and Hispanics".

    No company wants to be associated with that kind of mean-spiritedness and bigotry, whether real or imagined.

    If your kind cared about them you would do something about illegal immigration, there is no group more taken advantage of in this country than the illegals.

    It comes from the same mentality, that when a Republican experiences finding a taped up used Pamper full of baby shit on the Walmart parking lot, in their mind- it had to be a minority or one of them there illegal, raping, and diseased aliens that ditched it there- in their parking space!

    Basically it just comes from more expressed asinine hatred from haters!

    Trump's posturing on immigration is one of the main reasons Carlson supported him. Sadly, he has come to the view that Trump is incapable of doing anything about it.

    Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises
    “His chief promises were that he would build the wall, defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things.”

    Fox News must remind their mouthpieces to be careful on how far they push Trump's hate envelope. They have to find a comfortable limit that won't turn off big insurance companies or other companies who are only interested in profit.

    Haven't several high-profile DEMOCRATS been caught exploiting illegal immigrants?
