Ben Shapiro loses second sponsor after March for Life speech

BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 01/19/19 08:49 AM EST

Conservative commentator and radio host Ben Shapiro has reportedly lost a second advertiser after giving a controversial speech at the annual March for Life anti-abortion rally in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Calm, a relaxation and meditation app, responded to users condemning Shapiro's speech on Twitter, writing late Friday night that the company did do not "align with" Shapiro's message and that it would be pulling its sponsorship.

The Hill has reached out to Calm for comment.

Calm's announcement appears to be the second sponsor to pull its advertisements from Shapiro's podcast since his speech on Friday. Quip toothbrushes first announced that the company would no longer advertise with the conservative commentator's podcast.

“Our mission is to make good oral health more accessible to everyone, and podcast advertising is one way we’re able to realize this,” Quip said in a statement reported by HuffPost.

I listened to Steve Dahl until then because he was entertaining and not a RWLoon like the rest of the station. This guy's show is not only RW nonsense but boring as hell. They also have Mancow on during AM drive. They really screwed the pooch IMHO.

and never did, submit himself to waterboarding to see if it was torture. Mancow, like most right wingnuts, didn't believe it was torture and he was going to prove it, by getting waterboarded. He lasted 6 seconds ... he now knows it is "absolutely torture".
