Tornado Alley (PROG)

Trump's bigotry and racism finally got him. As Phil Robertson's of Duck Dynasty ultimately doomed him too.

The real reason Duck Dynasty ended

[...]

The series aired on A&E, and the family's relationship with the network wasn't always smooth. Phil, in particular, regularly butted heads with network brass, and was even banned from the show indefinitely in 2013 after an infamous interview with GQ, during which he compared homosexuality to bestiality and suggested that black people were exaggerating what their ancestors suffered during the Jim Crow era.

The network issued a statement following Phil's interview, and it wasn't exactly one that expressed support for the duck hunting patriarch. "We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," the statement read.

Unfortunately, Phil appears to have not learned much from the situation; he continued to make controversial comments in the media, even while Duck Dynasty was still airing. In 2015 and 2016 alone, he stated that STDs are punishment for premarital sex, offered a rather horrendous hypothetical for what he figured atheists should suffer through, and aligned himself with Citizens United to block the transgender bathroom law in North Carolina — all while Duck Dynasty's viewership continued to dwindle.
