The Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women in northern Virginia just wanted to reorder branded thermal cups from Yeti for their organization, something they have done in the past.
But, according to an exclusive by Fox Business, the result was anything but ordinary.
Although the young women’s nonprofit leadership organization ordered branded cups last May without issue ,and with the exact same logo, Yeti has allegedly refused to fill the order.
Per Fox Business:
In emails obtained by FOX Business, YETI responded to inquiries from the Clare Boothe Luce Center regarding their canceled March 20, 2025, order citing item no. 15 or “Custom Products” in their terms and conditions.
According to the brand, “YETI values respect, tolerance and open dialogue, and we serve a diverse and varied customer base. YETI has the sole discretion to reject any order that we deem inappropriate for production… Starting with our first customized Ramblers in 2015, we’ve used our best efforts to avoid creating custom products with political affiliations or associations. Because the process we use to identify political affiliations and associations involves human judgment, we may inadvertently accept an order and mark a YETI product with a candidate’s name or campaign slogan simply because we weren’t familiar with it when the order was placed.”
Begg claimed in an interview with FOX Business that the YETI brand accepted their order worth $1,608.00 this week before canceling it abruptly. According to Begg, the Center was originally confused about what changed between their May 2024 order and their attempted March 2025 order, which resulted in cancellation.
The Clare Boothe Luce Center shared how the cancellation unfolded via X.
“Our mission includes a commitment to promoting strong conservative women who serve as healthy role models for young women everywhere. Here’s our Yeti mug being gifted to @Stella_Morabito, one of our speakers. It has also been gifted to so many more of our wonderful speakers including @Advo_Katy, @erikabachiochi,@AmberSmithUSA, @emlwaters,@rachelbovard,@sarahcbedford, and @DawnHawkins33.”

“We ordered the EXACT same product from Yeti last year with no problems. Nothing is different-their terms haven’t changed in the last 10 years. We submitted payment and got all the confirmation emails.”
“This is ridiculous. Yets, do better.”
“This is the Yeti mug we’ve ordered in bulk from Yeti before.”
“We needed a restock so we ordered them again and everything seemed to be going smoothly.”
“But we got denied. Cancelled. Our order was cancelled because our logo contains the phrase: ‘conservative women.'”
“Mind you, this was after we paid for our bulk order AND after we received multiple confirmation emails that said our order was being processed and was all set to go.”

Didn’t Yeti show their colors a few years ago?
Ya think?
This is the first time I know about them.
I will never buy any of their overpriced crap.......
“..Their junk is overpriced anyways....:
Yep. And their quality has gone down while their competion has gone up.
There are better, less-expensive alternatives out there now...
Try “Conservative Chicks With Dicks.”
Isee a big opportunity for RTIC.
I’m so mad, I’m gonna key the next yeti cooler I see!!!! /s. I haven’t ever bought their overpriced stuff. There are others cheaper ( but not much) just as tough. See “project farm” for insulated tumbler testing results. Yeti didn’t win.
“YETI values respect, tolerance and open dialogue” and yet they are intolerant of this particular. Shutting down women’s group isn’t very open either. Ironic!
What an obnoxiously backwards company.
It was 2018.
NRA supporters are blowing up their expensive YETI coolers

Some mechanic left a Yeti cup in my car which I promptly tossed in the bin. He was all butt hurt because he said it cost him $39. For a crappy metal cup?
Yep, it’s just a ‘status’ symbol.
You can get the identical cup for less than $20................
When they came out against firearms that was it for me, years ago.
Is this going to be like the “I would boycott Charmin but I can’t live without it” kind of boycott?
Read that right here...
I’ve never seen the sense to pay extreme prices for the name on a label........................
I’ve been boycotting them for years.
Nobody ‘needs’ Yeti stuff. There’s plenty of competitors out there with better and cheaper. Yeti is just a name...............
That probably got them about ten metal cups.
Yeti = Liberal Democrat
Give them the Bud Light treatment.
