Fox News’ Sean Hannity has been losing advertisers thanks to a targeted campaign by the far-left Clinton-supporting attack dog Media Matters. Two days ago they published a full list of Hannity’s television advertisers, encouraging their readers to take action and contact those advertisers.
Thus far, the advertisers who’ve dropped out include Cars.com, Casper, Crowne Plaza, Leesa Sleep, Peloton, and Ring.com.
Spoke to many advertisers. They are being inundated with Emails to stop advertising on my show. This is Soros/Clinton/Brock liberal fascism https://t.co/WRCzfWVs9N

The names of those mentioned above who’ve already dropped advertising on Hannity aren’t exactly big names – but the latest to drop out is turning heads. The odd-one-out on the list of advertisers who’ve dropped out of advertising on Hannity’s show is USAA, a company founded by Army veterans almost 100 years ago that caters their services towards military families.
Bizarrely, they tried to claim that the reason they stopped advertising is because they don’t advertise on opinion shows.
@biddergalore Thank you for reaching out to us. USAA advertises on news programs, but advertising on opinion shows is not in accordance with our policy.

@KVolt95 We are no longer advertising in relation to Hannity. Thank you!

And as you’d expect, ceasing to advertise on someone as pro-military and dedicated to veterans as Hannity isn’t boding well among USAA’s target demographic.
@USAA_help @KVolt95 Thanks. Just told my parents. And, they are canceling tomorrow!

@USAA_help @KVolt95 I'm cancelling my automobile & homeowners insurance w/ you tomorrow. I'm glad to know you aren't on the side of free speech.

@USAA_help @KVolt95 Been with USAA 27+yrs, now I am EMBARRASSED to be associated with such a weak-ass company that caves to liberal fascism.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm on the phone now getting ready to move all of my business elsewhere. https://t.co/qEvGPe9CFD

I hope @mmfa is going to pay back @USAA for the deluge of cancellations they're about to experience. @MMFA is the quickest way to bankruptcy

I have car, home & other insurance with USAA but will be switching today. I support tolerant & diverse political views. https://t.co/cbN6v3w29x

@USAA_help @KVolt95 How can a company who supports Vets who fought for our rights cave to silencing free speech. You ought to be ashamed

H/T: The Gateway Pundit
The hashtag #BoycottUSAA is exploding on Twitter. Sean Hannity will be returning to his Fox show after an extended weekend thanks to Memorial Day, but will USAA be returning as well?
They can claim that they’re pulling their advertisements because they don’t advertise on opinion shows – but it’s not just the timing in question. Turn on MSNBC and you’ll find USAA advertising there.
.@SeanHannity stands with the troops, but @USAA won't stand with him. Why are they still running ads on far-left @MSNBC? #IStandWithHannity

Will they be dropping MSNBC next?
