84 Lumber got paid off to shill for someone's or some organization's deep pockets agenda.

Super Bowl ad's ending banned by TV; Pittsburgh's 84 Lumber will show the end online at halftime
I saw it. Just another bleeding-heart propaganda film from Pittsburgh company.
Doesn't matter how you paint the picture----illegals are illegal.

The company can afford the commercial but Soros comes to mind. How about a commercial where a drug runner with a backpack full of heroin or meth can't cross because Trump's wall is in the way. That is the flip side liberals and globalists don't want you to think about.

$20-$30 billion dollars in illegal drugs flows across the border every year. From our own federal government:

https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic.../38661/swb.htm

Drug traffickers exploit the vast stretches of remote, sparsely populated desert, the 75 miles of largely unprotected border with Mexico, and the highways that connect the reservation to major metropolitan areas to distribute illicit drugs in markets throughout the United States.

The federal government knew back in 2010 where the drugs and illegals are flowing into our country. Admits 75 miles of border has no protection at all yet nothing gets done about it. And now members of congress from both parties are resisting doing anything about it even now. What is really going on here?

May not be the kind of publicity they want. Illegal aliens take the jobs and undercut the wages of the US citizen tradesmen who purchase and work with the building materials they supply.

They make their income from construction, which is going to take a major hit from Trump's policies, so its not surprising they are opposed.

Never heard of 84 Lumber. I have heard of Fox.

Lumber Liquidators will take over what's left of 84 Lumber.

In the meantime, IRS audits on the way for 84 Lumber.

Plus a whole bunch of other federal agencies swooping down on the company.

So, basically everyone will be forced to support Trumps policies?

You'd have a point if the worker at the border in the commercial was anyone else but a very American white male driving a very American pick up truck. C'mon.

So, let's see, free advertising which ticked off those that might actually buy their products but made happy those who don't know which end of a hammer hits the nail, don't own anything that would require their products and would expect the government to supply the labor and materials to build with anyway.

About the only thing 84 lumber might have done for their bottom line is sell more 1x2's used in protest signs and maybe some scrap wood kindling used to start campus fires at their next protest...
