After the fiasco that was Donald Trump’s “birther” quest, Chicago-based Groupon Inc. has announced they are pulling ads from the website of Trump’s show, “The Apprentice. ”ThinkProgress first called them out on it publicly on Twitter and in a statement, Groupon said “Enough consumers contacted us to warrant ensuring that we don’t place ads on ‘The Apprentice’ home page in the future. This isn’t a political statement, it’s avoiding intentionally upsetting a segment of our customers.”
