SmileDirectClub, NerdWallet and Indeed said they are pulling ads after the Fox News hosts intensified immigrant rhetoric
Following a run of programs that were offensive even by the standards of a Fox News host whose views are frequently praised by white nationalists, advertisers have now begun disassociating themselves from Tucker Carlson this week.
A growing number of companies have said they will stop advertising on Tucker Carlson Tonight or are re-evaluating their ad buys after a segment last week in which he said immigrants make America “poorer and dirtier”, a concept that he intensified Monday.

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 https://t.co/o4eL7v5LCA
