“#IStandWithTuckerCarlson” trended on Twitter today as conservatives rallied to Carlson’s defense after a coordinated attack on the Fox Host’s advertisers by the woke leftist mob.
Leftists targeted Carlson over his coverage of Black Lives Matter and the George Floyd riots, which has focused on acts of violence and criminal behavior as America’s cities descended into chaos over the past two weeks.
On June 2, at the height of the riots, Carlson devoted a segment to the murder of retired police officer David Dorn.

“Chaos is the worst thing, always,” said Carlson. “And wise leaders understand that — it’s obvious.”
Leftists including Far-left activist group Sleeping Giants, which spreads smears to the advertisers of conservative websites to financially blacklist them, led a campaign against Carlson’s show over comments he made on the Monday episode of his show.
“This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through,” said Carlson on Monday. “But it is definitely not about black lives and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will.”
The leftist outrage mob successfully persuaded Disney, T-Mobile, and Papa Johns to withdraw ads from the Fox show.
A Fox News spokesperson told the Washington Post that “Tucker’s warning about ‘when they come for you’ was clearly referring to Democratic leaders and inner-city politicians.”
In response to the attempt to censor and financially blacklist Carlson, conservatives have taken to Twitter to express support for the Fox host.
