Several major advertisers, including T-Mobile, Disney and Papa John’s, have pulled their financial support for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” following the hosts criticism of the Black Live Matter movement. However, one of the biggest advertisers on Fox News has no plans to follow suit.
In a statement to Newsweek, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a vocal Trump supporter and Minnesota chairman of his re-election campaign, said the ads would continue.
“MyPillow is not changing its advertising. I make all my advertising decisions based on what is best for my customers and my employees. MyPillow believes all lives matter and values all our employees and customers, treating them like family.”
Lindell himself is the star of MyPillow’s advertising campaigns.

Carlson courted controversy on Monday’s broadcast when he declared police brutality protests following the death of George Floyd were “definitely not about black lives.”
“This may be a lot of things, this moment we’re living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will,” Carlson said.
In a recent segment, Carlson also attacked “Sesame Street” character Elmo.
“It’s a children’s show. Got that, Bobby? America is a very bad place and it’s your fault, so no matter what happens, no matter what they do to you when you grow up, you have no right to complain,” Carlson said Tuesday.
Asked on Twitter if Carlson’s message was supported by T-Mobile, CEO Mike Sievert tweeted back, “It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter.”

I like Tucker Carlson’s show and I like my MyPillow!
I’ve been considering buying one and now I guess it’s time! Already do not buy Disney; haven’t for years. I think Walt might have been rather displeased with how his company has turned out. I sure am. No Papa John’s either. Got a friend who owns several Little Caesar’s. Better anyway.
Ive never eaten pappa johns before, AND NEVER WILL.. Nor will i ever solicit any business via T-mobile… AND FOR 2 _ years now, have not bought a single Disney product…
Me too, Joe23006,
I never miss Tucker’s show and I have two MyPillows and the three inch mattress topper. They are both GREAT.
Galatians 4:16
“Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the Truth.”
Tucker tells the truth and they slam him because he told the truth. Apparently they are not aware George Soros organization is Black Lives Matter.
They played right into that former Nazi’s hand. Fact check this.
YET MORE proof, the lefts ARE THE FASCISTS, as they wish to silence ANYONE who is not totally in support of them.
Those CEOs ,don’t give a damn about BLM. They don’t want to be boycotted, is all.
SHOWING they are nothing but COWARDS…
Since the Conservative politicians are remaining quiet thru all of this, it’s up to the Conservative consumers to take a stand. Quit patronizing these radical liberal leaning businesses. Just like with the NBLMFL – boycott these businesses. You can now include Starbucks to the list.
PROOF to me, those ‘conservative politicians, ARE NOT REAL conservatives…
Just traitors who should get sent to gitmo and LEFT there to rot.
Well, two can play at that game-I will never allow a T-Mobile phone in my family, never go to a Disney property or watch any streaming Disney show, and will buy our pizzas from local Mom and Pop stores.
I have almost all of the MyPillow products, either for our house or as gifts. Gonna order more this weekend.
And certainly All LIVES Matter, but also– Black LIES Matter too!
Looks like I need to buy a pillow from this guy.
I got 2 they are awesome pillows
Is it not a fact, that all lives matter?. Why do blacks believe only their lives matter, but, watch as their own kill thousands a year, of their own. Ignore the black police officer Dorn, shot to death by one of their own, and black women abort babies thousands a year simply because they are a inconvenience?. Do black lives matter only as a stepping stone, they turn their eyes away from their own killing of their own,
Whites are killed by black officers too, but this never ever hits the media.
Yes, Black Lives do matter, but so do those of all the diverse lives in this Country.
ITS racist to say all lives matter. OFF with your head!
You need to report to your nearest re-education camp… 😉 🙂
I was a chiropractor for over 30 years and have seen all the scams for pillows, back suports, etc… My pillow is actually a good one. it does what it says it does… adjusts to the shape of your neck providing just the right amount of support! Mike lindell is a patriot and manufactures a product that is worth supporting!
I have yet to purchase anything from this company, that needs to change. This is not the first time this man has stood on the right side of a heated topic. I recall he stayed with the Laura Ingrahm show when Hogg called for sponsors to abandon her show.
Thank you, Mike Indell!!!
Black rifle coffee needs to step up and START sponsoring Tucker…
Tucker is one of the few conservative voices who isn’t afraid to speak the truth. I can’t say as much for the Spineless GOP who have been MIA since this all began.
