[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

At least 14 advertisers have now dropped "Tucker Carlson Tonight" after the Fox News host said in a show last Thursday that immigrants to the United States made the country "poorer" and "dirtier."

As of Tuesday morning, Just For Men, United Explorer credit card, ScotteVest, Voya Financial, Zenni Optical, Pacific Life, Indeed, Bowflex, SmileDirectClub, NerdWallet, Minted, Ancestry.com, and IHOP Jaguar had all told TheWrap they plan to suspend advertising on the program.

On Tuesday a spokesman for Just For Men told TheWrap in a statement: "Just For Men has no further plans to advertise on Tucker Carlson's show. The brand is always considering ways to remain responsible, and this includes aligning with partners who share our brand values."

On Monday, Carlson addressed the growing boycott campaign against his sponsors over his on-air remarks about immigration, telling viewers that he would not be intimidated.

1. Who'd have known saying immigrants made the country "dirtier" would be bad for business?

Oh, right, everyone who isn't an asshole, that's who.

2. That worked out well for his predecessor in his time slot...

Just ask Bill O'Reilly how that turned out? #justsayin

3. Those advertisers merely shifted their ads

to other Fox shows, it's no financial loss to Fox.
