#BoycottKeurig is trending on Twitter because Fox News viewers are mad that Keurig pulled ads from Sean Hannity's show after he tried to defend alleged pedophile Roy Moore.

This is going to backfire. More people will buy Keurig for standing up against pedophilia.

Companies that pulled ads from Hannity over this weekend include:
  • Keurig
  • Realtor.com
  • 23 and Me
  • Eloquii
  • Nature's Bounty

If anything, Keurig should be boycotted for crimes against coffee.

Nature’s bounty. Vitamins made in China. Who needs a boycott?

I like Hannity, but these boycotts are stupid.

I'm sitting here typing on an apple computer and regularly do searches on Google. According to those folks, I shouldn't use these tools. It's just stupid. I'm going to use the products and tools that I like most...who cares about their political values/decisions.

IMO boycotts are the prudent way.

I have not bought anything Exxon since the Valdez ran aground.

My family has consistently boycotted all companies who have been revealed to have paid large fines for hiring illegals.

If we do not like the way a company is run we do not buy their stock.

It's hard as hell to boycott Koch Bros. That's just about a losing battle. They have their hands in all kinds of stuff.

We also try to purchase consumer products that are owned by American companies.

So true.
But good for them for not supporting the show.

LOL! I totally agree. I've not made a good coffee in my Keurig yet. Finally just quit trying.

I don't agree with most of these boycotts, but Keurig does contribute to plastic pollution.
