MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is refusing to bow to the left-wing mob, and he is standing by Tucker Carlson while advertisers are abandoning his prime-time show on Fox News because of his stance against Black Lives Matter (BLM).

“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 said.

Carlson has been the leader in pushing back against BLM during a time in which prominent individuals are being intimidated to bend their knee to the mob.

“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.

Big League Politics has reported on Carlson extensively as he has been a lone voice of reason in a world gone mad.

At least four advertisers have already cut ties with Carlson’s show, deciding to stand against free speech and capitulate to the mob:

Since he made those statements and others, prominent companies including the Walt Disney Company, Papa John’s, Poshmark and T-Mobile have distanced themselves from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” joining other businesses that have backed away from the show in recent years.

The flight of advertisers accelerated on Tuesday, when the watchdog group Sleeping Giants tagged T-Mobile in a Twitter post, saying that Fox News had aired what amounted to an “extremely racist segment scaremongering about the Black community.”

The telecommunications giant responded on Twitter, saying that its ads had not run on the show since early May and would not run in the future. Mike Sievert, T-Mobile’s chief executive, added a post of his own: “Bye-bye, Tucker Carlson!”

Fox News said that Mr. Carlson was referring to Democratic leaders, not protesters, when he said “they” in his remarks on Monday night’s program…

Advertiser disavowals of the show gained momentum on Wednesday, after the newsletter Popular Information highlighted that Disney had run commercials 29 times on Mr. Carlson’s program this year. The entertainment giant responded by saying that it had asked the third-party media agency that placed the ads, which were for Disney’s ABC network, to stop doing so on the show.

Papa John’s, a pizza chain that was the center of an uproar in 2018 over a racial slur used by its founder, also backed away from Mr. Carlson. The company said that Havas, its media agency, placed a general buy for ad space across several cable news networks and left the positioning of the spots up to the networks…

Steven Tristan Young, the chief marketing officer of Poshmark, said in a statement on Thursday that the e-commerce company stopped advertising on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on June 2.

“We do not agree with the comments he made on his show and stand in solidarity with those who seek to advance racial justice and equality,” Mr. Young said.

Lindell is showing that he cares about his country and the truth getting out by standing with Carlson during a time when he needs the support.
