Breaking: ABC Gets Massive Bad News After Canceling Tim Allen’s Conservative Show – Boycott Has Begun
Tim Allen is one of the few open conservatives in Hollywood, and his sitcom “Last Man Standing” was one of the few shows on TV that didn’t kowtow to the liberal agenda. So, when it was canceled by ABC in spite of high ratings, the political aspect did not go unnoticed by those on the right.
If ABC executives thought the furor would die down and Americans would quickly forget, however, they were dead wrong. The network now faces two huge petitions and a boycott, as well as a surprising statement of support for Allen by a sitting governor.
A petition on Change.org that collected over 100,000 signatures by Tuesday morning after being launched Friday noted that “Last Man Standing” is “a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values.”
“‘Last Man Standing’ is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been canceled,” it continued.
According to The Daily Wire, a similar petition on PetitionCongress.org demanded a congressional investigation.
“With a plethora of ultra-liberal shows available on television, this show stood out from the rest and motivated conservatives who voted for President Trump,” the petition read. “Please demand that Congress investigate whether LMS was canceled for political reasons.”
While I’m not quite sure Congress would be the appropriate vehicle for an investigation, at least one GOP governor has noted that he thinks ABC’s decision is based on politics: Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

I can just see the hustle bustle in the board room of ABC, with the CEO and his accountants asking: “Where did all these Conservatives come from?”
OH, we’re out here. Thought you would have gotten a clue from the last election.
It’s not till it hits you in the pocketbook that you take notice huh?
MARANATHA!
OVER 381,000 signatures now!

Sign this petition! Lets put the heat on ABC, this show was cancelled for purely political reasons. As the show does not support the liberal viewpoint, it had to go – and it was very well rated.
