In time for the Christmas shopping season the Keurig company decided to alienate millions of conservatives.
The coffee brewing company caved to pressure from progressive group Media Matters For America and removed its ads from Hannity’s Fox News show because he did his job and interviewed Alabama Republican senate nominee Roy Moore.
“Good afternoon @Keurig. You are currently sponsoring Sean Hannity’s show. He defends child molester Roy Moore and attacks women who speak out against sexual harassment. Please reconsider,” Media Matters President Angelo Carusone tweeted the company.
That was all it took for Keurig to cave.
“Angelo, thank you for your concern and for bringing this to our attention. We worked with our media partner and FOX news to stop our ad from airing during the Sean Hannity Show,” Keurig responded.
The company faced immediate and brutal backlash on social media.
Don’t be foolish with such a movement behind @seanhannity

Well, I will be returning several Keurigs I just bought for a few of our offices. Ridiculous that you allow one complaint to dictate your advertising plans. #BoycottKeurig

Hey @Keurig, Did you know that Sean Hannity is a huge supporter of the military? Do you know that a person is innocent until PROVEN guilty? I live in Va Beach,Va home to several large military bases. I’ll be handling out flyers asking military members to #BoycottKeurig

Ridiculous how these companies believe picking political sides is going to help their bottom line. #BoycottKeurig

Keurig was not the only one to remove advertising from Hannity’s show.
Realtor.com also responded to a tweet by saying it would no longer be advertising on his show.
“Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are adjusting our media buy to no longer include this show placement. -MS,” it wrote.
