The insanity expands. It’s pretty bad when a company gets all hysterical when someone who is on the left’s hate list is seen wearing a shirt with its logo.

I can see that there’s a major purge coming, as soon as the left gets into power.

It has nothing to do with Kyle! It has to do with the podcast host.

Guy wears a tee shirt and the company in question has a hissy fit about it, they can’t control what a person wears, yet they go “Full Retard”, never go full Retard.

Just like the coach of Oklahoma State, wear a One America News tee shirt and then he’s sorry for wearing and it and takes a salary cut. What a Wuss and a half.

Sooooo they should do something other than tell the truth?

I am positive they do not “sponsor” (provide with money in exchange for brand promotion) or have a relationship with Kyle. Do you have evidence to the contrary? I also have a BRCC shirt, as do thousands of other Americans who like their coffee and company mission. Pretty sure none of us have a relationship with BRCC either.

So the kid uses his “black rifle” for exactly what it is intended to do, defend the otherwise defenseless against murderous thugs, and the Black Rifle Coffee Company distances themselves? And they’ve portrayed themselves as pro-second amendment patriots, thus the name of the company?

More phonies smoked out by reality. Kyle did everything right, and real patriots will stand up for him.

RE: putting himself in harms

Get a clue. Anywhere in a 10 mile radius of that site could have been defined as “putting himself in harms way”. You either stand for self defense or you do not.

We all know where you stand.

As I read this I am drinking their coffee from one of their aluminum insulated mugs. I think I will switch to Maxwell House and buy a My Pillow with the money I save.

“Misunderstanding, really? Have they since fired the spokesperson who made the statement? Have they returned sponsorship to the podcast? Have they apologized and supported Rittenhouse publicly? No? thought so.... Once again, NO MORE BRCC. Feel free to keep trying and trolling on their behalf though, we shall see how many people you will convince.”

Not me! I’m with you, once you screw up royally, you need to go EXTRA DISTANCE back to our side, if you want to make up for it...trying half-measures and weasel words may help somewhat, but it won’t get most of the people like us back.

I have bought their coffee, and will continue to do so.

The coffee is damned good. BRCC donates lots of money to vets and first responders, and to the families of those who have died saving us in one way or another. That is worthy of support in my book, even if the coffee was so-so (and it isn’t, it’s quite good).

I happen to think that Rittenhouse isn’t a murderer, that he was engaged in self-defense. I think that **perhaps** he exercised poor judgment in being in Kenosha, but he certainly had a right to be there and cannot be guilty for having been there by itself. That BRCC made an ad involving him is if no importance to me, either way.

“Why would you expect special ops to support a kid who put himself in harms way for nothing?”

Most here wouldn’t expect Black Rifle to ‘support’ the kid...but we would expect them to at least stay NEUTRAL, and not immediately give us the impression that they agree with the Left that he’s a White Nationalist and needs to fry. So in this case, they distance themselves from that photo with a one sentence statement, perhaps something like this:

“While we support the right of Americans to act in self-defense, we are not active supporters of Kyle Rittenhouse, nor do we approve of the our name being associated with the picture.”

No need to join the Cancel Culture also.

See, not so hard.

Stopped by their Georgia store this summer. Bought a bunch of K-cups for family and friends. Also ordered a coffee to go. It was lukewarm and horrible. They had patriotic names for their drinks, though. Sad. Won’t buy their shite again.

The cowards at this crappy coffee company abandoned a true American hero who is only 17 years old and a better man than anyone there. I wouldn’t drink the sewer water from Black Rifle if you gave it to me for free. Instead I suggest sending the money you save from buying their over priced sludge to Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense fund.
