Keurig, makers of the home coffee brewing system, is being boycotted by angry consumers after the company announced over the weekend that it plans to remove ads on Sean Hanity's Fox News program following his coverage of Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore.
Keurig, Realtor.com, 23 and Me, Eloquii and Nature's Bounty all said over the weekend that they would no longer run ads on Hannity's show following his interview with the embattled candidate, prompting a backlash from protesters on social media.
Moore is being accused of having pursued inappropriate sexual relationships with younger women while he was a district attorney in Alabama during the 1970s.
The most troubling of allegations, according to The Washington Post which published the allegations in a story on Thursday, claims that Moore had inappropriate sexual contact with a then 14-year-girl named Leigh Corfman while in his early 30s.

Supporters of the host have begun posting #BoycottKeurig on Twitter, leading to the hashtag trending on the social media platform (stock images)

Moore vehemently denies the allegations, saying that he believes the timing of the accusations are aimed at undermining his candidacy.
Moore, who spoke with Hannity about the scandal on his radio show Friday, did admit however that after his return from the military, 'I dated a lot of young ladies.'
Some of the sponsors announced their decision not to run advertisements on Hannity's show via Twitter after the Fox News host asked his audience to give Moore the benefit of the doubt, according to CNBC News.
'We can confirm that we do not have advertisements running on this program,' Nature's Bounty said on Twitter Friday.

'While we continually strategize on where we advertise on and offline, we are not currently, and will not be running TV ads on Hannity,' Realtor.com posted, as well.
The companies did not cite Hannity's comments as the reason why they were pulling their sponsorship.
It appears, however, that the they made their decision after getting feedback from social media users and the general public to distance themselves from the program.
'We've received inquiries RE: advertising on Hannity,' 23 and Me wrote on Twitter on Friday. 'We are not running TV advertising on Hannity. We continue to closely evaluate where we advertise.'
But the move is not without consequence, with supporters of the host posting #BoycottKeurig on Twitter, leading to the hashtag treading on the social media platform.

Many of Hannity's supporters outrage that the company was taking a political stance on Moore

Some of Hannity's supporters vowed to return their Keurig coffee machines they purchased for Christmas.
'Keurig, thank you bringing this to our attention. Seeing you have opted to stop your ad from airing during the Sean Hannity Show, I will be returning two Keurigs I just bought as Christmas gifts & will be discarding my own,' one Twitter user posted.
'Dear Other Companies Considering Pulling Ads from Hannity: You too can be number one trending topic on Twitter for nationwide boycott, supported by half the country. Make our day,' wrote another.
Not all the feedback was negative, however, with some praising the coffee giants decision to distance itself from Hannity's program.

'Looks like my wife is switching from a Nestle machine to a @Keurig for Christmas. Bravo. We must speak out with our wallets. Do not #BoycottKeurig,' one person tweeted.
'Don’t #BoycottKeurig, they pulled their ads from Hannity & deserve to be celebrated for it.'
Fox News has yet to comment on the matter and a representative was not immediately available for a reply.
The 70-year-old former Alabama Supreme Court Judge is currently Republican party's nominee to take over a senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, who became head of the Justice Department in the Trump administration in January.
Voting kicks off less than four weeks, with Moore going up against Democrat Doug Jones in a special election.

KEURIG BACKING DOWN: Coffee Company Admits Public Decision To Pull Ads From Hannity Created 'Unacceptable Situation'

On Monday, Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort issued a memorandum to employees denouncing his own company’s Twitter announcement that it had pulled advertising from Sean Hannity’s television program on Fox News. That advertising pullout came in the wake of an astroturfed campaign from Media Matters based on false allegations that Hannity expressed support for child molestation and had attacked sexual assault accusers.
The pullout led to a massive backlash on Twitter, where Keurig owners began smashing their machines and announcing that they would boycott the company.

The videos of people smashing their Keurigs on Twitter were hilarious.
