They are not quitting. They are 'suspending' which means once this all blows over and people forget about they'll be back. I think most of his sponsors who are leaving will be back. Things are too hot right now. When emailing these sponsors you need to be clear that ANY advertising on his show will not be tolerated.

The GOP, and their mouthpieces, have finally stepped in big enough poop for it to cover them. Moderate conservatives like family members of mine are writing emails.

Like the others, I suspect they'll be back once this blows over.

Suspend is a cautious first step. With encouragement they'll see which way the wind is blowing.

Even a "suspension" sends a message when this idiot has never had any fallout whatsoever for his 24 years of constant vitriol that he has spewed over those years.

He may have been booted from his ESPN side-gig for his racist rants, but nothing has ever touched him for similar bigoted rants on this show...
