A number of advertisers are pulling their ads from Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor after allegations of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, and verbal abuse by Bill O’Reilly.

The Sleeping Giants is a Leftist social media campaign that encourages those on social media to publicly shame advertisers into pulling their ads from ‘controversial’ (READ: non-Liberal) media outlets.

Rowe Price, Credit Karma, Coldwell Banker, Lexus, Bayer, Wayfair, Orkin, True Car, MileIQ, The Wonderful Company, and the Society for Human Resources Management all announced they would be removing their ads.

The list is expected to grow, with the Sleeping Giants setting their sights on The O’Reilly’s Factor after the anonymous group first launched a campaign that led Breitbart to lose more than 1,750 advertisers.
