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.

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.

It sounds to me like they're really saying, "Let's throw a bone to the protestors and tell them we'll pull our ads 'in the coming weeks', wait for them to get distracted & let the dust settle, then continue advertising as before."
