Atlantis pulls ads from Laura Ingraham's show


BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 03/30/18 12:18 PM EDT

The Atlantis, Paradise Island resort said Friday that it would be pulling its advertisements from Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show over her comments about a Parkland, Fla., high school shooting survivor.

“Atlantis does not support or agree with the recent comments made by television broadcaster Laura Ingraham,” a spokesperson for the Bahamas resort said in a statement to The Hill.

“Although we are an organization that believes in freedom of expression, we do not condone discrimination, bullying, mockery or harmful behavior of any kind. As a result of these events, we have decided to remove all brand advertising tied to the program,” the statement read.

Atlantis is at least the 10th advertiser to pull support from Ingraham’s program.
