Trade magazine AdvertisingAge, USA Today, the Washington Post and others had taken note of the intention of the Eggo frozen waffles and Corn Flakes cereal manufacturer K, -2.20% to pull advertising from Breitbart properties because of its “values” disconnect, with Breitbart viewed as a leading voice of the so-called alt-right movement.

Breitbart and its readers and backers rapidly responded with a boycott push — and the #DumpKelloggs hashtag:

Kellogg shares fell 2.2% Wednesday, while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.27% edges 0.27% lower.

Lol, they have no idea who they're messing with. This is the informed electorate. When we boycott something, it's gonna hurt.

I am guessing the child labor palm oil did not help the stock price.

My boycott of Pepsi is going strong. Doritos are my guilty pleasure so it's tough

When are these brands going to learn to just keep their mouths shut, they really are hurting their bottomline.
