Fox News host Tucker Carlson is not backing down from the liberal rage mob that has lead to multiple companies pulling advertisements from his show.
On Monday’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the outspoken host refused to back down from his statement that illegal immigration makes the country “poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
The commentary naturally lead to the left grabbing their torches and pitchforks and calling for advertiser boycotts. Four companies, Pacific Life, Nautilus Inc., the parent company of Bowflex, NerdWallet and SmileDirectClub all caved and pulled their ads. Three others who faced hysteria from the left, Farmers Inusrance, Mitsubishi and Bayer/Alka Seltzer all refused to back down and said their ads will continue to air.
True to form, Carlson responded to the backlash with facts and statistics — refusing to self censor.

“They want us just to mouth the empty platitudes,” Carlson said of the rage mob. “Those who won’t shut up get silenced.”
“You’ve seen it a million times, it happens all the time: the enforcers scream ‘racist’ on Twitter until everybody gets intimidated and changes the subject to the Russia investigation or some other distraction,” Carlson added. “It won’t work with this show.”

“We’re not intimidated. We plan to try to say what’s true until the last day,” Carlson continued. He added that “unregulated mass immigration has badly hurt this country’s natural landscape.”

The show then showcased the trash being left behind by the migrant caravan that is trying to make its way through our borders.
