SUBJECT:

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace suggests Sarah Sanders should be choked



Dear Sponsors:

As you are probably aware that on Friday, May 11, MSNBC host Nicole Wallace, whom you sponsor, suggested to her viewers on national TV "How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck (referring to Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders)?" Since there was such an uproar, she has since apologized. However, her apology sounded forced and hollow. 

So called news outlets such as MSNBC always decry bullying. But this sounds just like bullying and promoting violence against, not only women, but against people with whom you disagree. This has got to stop. We have reached a whole new level of outrageous behavior on national TV that is just not acceptable.

As sponsors of this show on MSNBC, is this what you advocate - bullying and violence against people with whom you disagree? If so, how low has our country gone? We are asking you to reconsider your sponsorship of her show. We believe that you are above this and will respond appropriately. We are American consumers and we speak with our wallets.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
