We saw this movie before with Chick-Fil-A. Going woke hasn’t hurt them and I don’t expect it will do much to black rifle because most people are just not paying attention.

And yet.....

Notre Dame to open Chick-fil-A on campus despite student, staff protest of company values

True. Plus, how long until they decide that the name “Black Rifle” sounds too dangerous and divisive??? I think I bought one bag of coffee from them a while back, but maybe it was someone else. Whatever, I shall not buy from them now. Just like Target, Coke, Campbells Soup, the NFL, Disney - etc - they are dead to me. I am also terminating my Credit Karma account. Durn bunch of queer-grooming pedophiles!

Yeah, so did John Glenn, Al Gore, John McCain and George McGovern. Being in combat means exactly one thing. It means you were in combat.
It does not imply character, patriotism, or good motives back in regular life.

These low lifes with operator breads cashed in on MAGA, then like Chick Fil A decided to flip the finger to the ones who created their success to go for a bigger market.

Posers.

Good luck...

I honest to crap could care less if they served their country or not.
Benedict Arnold served his country.
Tim McVeigh served his country
Lee Harvey Oswald served his country
General Mark (Vanilli) Milley served his country
All of them are still steaming piles traitorous of dog sh!t

Heard his interview yesterday and it wasn’t much.
the guy sits down with the NY times and bad mouths right wingers. As far as I’m concerned he can take his coffee and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

Just a guess...the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Company is pandering to the Left because the owners want to cash out their millions and take the company public.

Their coffee is over priced and it appears their conservatism is over hyped. Trying to walk it back now that their base is dumping them.

He went there on purpose. It was to distance himself from us, and MAGA. He prattles on and on about protecting the country, black rifles, etc.

Then when Rittenhouse was innocently standing there with a rifle and first aid kit, trying to stop a communist mob from burning a gas station down they attacked him. He accurately shot a child molester, a burglar, and a wife beater who were trying to murder him.

And Black Rifle Coffee immediately disavowed him.
Screw these cowards. Zero courage to stand up for something.

Why does he care or need their permission? He's supposedly an independent, private company selling coffee.

I listened to Hafner's response. I read the original article by the NYT Magazine and saw Hafner's video response to the Rittenhouse incident with the Blaze.

Hafner, surprizingly, comes across as naive, as someone who is unwilling to recognize the culture war we are in. He comes across as someone who thought he could get a reasonable response from NYT Magazine, and control what they focused on.

He could not. He even says, he knows the NYT cannot be trusted.

But, he thought it was too good a chance to promote veteran's issues to pass up (and to promote his brand).

I will say it again. Naive. Naive. When will he learn? How many times does he have to be stabbed in the back to see his enemy has a knife and is willing and eager to use it?

It was clear to me, when I read the article, the NYT Magazine writer lead Hafner down a path, talking about racism and anti-semitism, to get the quotes he could then intersperse with his commentary, to paint Hafner and BRCC as "moderate" "semi-woke", anti-Rittenhouse.

Hafner fell for it, and seems a bit surprised when it happened.

Even now, his response leaves much to be desired. He should have been more specific. He should have shown how his responses were manipulated.

Everytime you buy Chick Fil A, you’re donating a penny to help them subsidize people who take it right up the wazzoo from another man.

No matter how good the sandwich is.

What?

St Michael the Arch Angel is racist?

While I personally prefer the St George Icon (youngest is way into dragons), my Lutheran grandma had a St Michael painting when I was little.
