Companies distance from pro-Trump commentator after vulgar Harris tweet
An ally of President Trump sparked widespread backlash on social media after posting a tweet that used a vulgar insult to attack Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), leading to a number of companies distancing themselves from the commentator.
Harlan Hill, president of the D.C.-based Logan Circle Group, which describes itself as a boutique public relations firm, tweeted that Harris "comes off as an insufferable, lying bitch" as the Democratic senator debated Vice President Pence on Wednesday night.
Several companies on Thursday distanced themselves from Hill after social media users noted that his firm's website listed their logos under the banner "Trusted by the best," giving the impression they were clients. "We won’t tolerate it. We just told Mr. Hill to stop using our name & logo. He doesn’t represent us & never will," American Airlines tweeted. “We have found no record of this person working for us, and he certainly never will in the future," a spokesperson for AT&T.
“I appreciate my relationship with Fox News over the last 5 years. They have been very good to me and I will always appreciate the chance they gave me to build a platform,” Hill said in a statement to Mediaite on Thursday.
Harlan Hill continues to list himself as a member of the Trump campaign's reelection advisory board on his social media pages and website, and he has doubled down on the vulgar remarks in retweets and other Twitter posts. “Good morning! Kamala Harris still sucks and comes off as a bitch.”
