Here's how advertisers have responded to Hannity's coverage of the Roy Moore allegations

Walmart: Says it does not typically advertise on political shows

While Walmart has appeared on lists as an Hannity advertiser, the retailer told Business Insider that it does not typically advertise on any political shows. An ad that ran during Hannity's show in September was a special situation.

"The ad you saw was part of a special advertising buy for Hurricane relief," spokesperson Meggan Kring said. "Traditionally we do not buy advertising during shows with political commentary, but this was a unique situation that needed broad awareness. The intent of this ad was designed to bring the country together for the impacted hurricane areas, a topic most audiences could relate to."

HelloFresh: Says it does not advertise on or around Hannity's shows

Business Insider reached out to the meal delivery service, which said it does not advertise on or around Sean Hannity's shows.

"We have continuously worked with our advertising agency partners and media buyers to ensure that no HelloFresh ads are running during his programs," a HelloFresh spokesperson told Business Insider via email. "We always refresh our advertising outlets with considerations for current events which we do not condone."

E-Trade: Media Matters confirmed that it had stopped running ads on the show.

Nature's Bounty: The nutrition brand tweeted, 'We can confirm that we do not have advertisements running on this program.'

23andMe: 'We’ve received inquiries RE: advertising on Hannity. We are not running TV advertising on Hannity. We continue to closely evaluate where we advertise.'

ELOQUII: The fashion brand tweeted that "Hannity is blocked from our advertising list" on Saturday.

Realtor.com in a now-deleted tweet: 'While we continually strategize on where we advertise on and offline, we are not currently, and will not be running TV ads on Hannity.'

Keurig says it will no longer advertise

Keurig said on Twitter that it would no longer advertise on Hannity's show.

Many on the right subsequently called for Hannity's supporters to boycott Keurig. On Sunday, some people went as far as posting videos of themselves smashing their Keurig coffee machines.

In a memo to employees on Monday, obtained by The Washington Post's Erik Wemple, CEO Bob Gamgort called Keurig's decision to explain its plan to "pause" its advertising with Hannity's show "highly unusual" and "outside of company protocols."

"This gave the appearance of 'taking sides' in an emotionally charged debate that escalated on Twitter and beyond over the weekend, which was not our intent," Gamgort wrote.
