SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah-based coffee company says it will end its sponsorship of a Blaze Media podcast after the host shared a photo of Kyle Rittenhouse wearing a T-shirt with the company's logo, according to a report from The Salt Lake Tribune.
Elijah Schaffer, a reporter at Blaze Media, tweeted a since-removed photo of the 17-year-old wearing a Black Rifle Coffee Company shirt with the caption, “Kyle Rittenhouse drinks the best coffee in America.” The teenager, accused of killing two people during protests in Wisconsin in August, was released Friday after supporters raised his $2 million bail.

The Fox13 story purposely left out the part where BRCC said that they did NOT pull their sponsorship of the podcast.
Links in my earlier posts.
I am a BRCC brewer and drinker. Silencer Smooth. I will continue our relationship: Black Rifle roasts and sells it, I buy it and brew it. Keep doing what you do best, Black Rifle Coffee Company. Don’t let the ankle biters make you do anything different.
They didn’t create the picture, right? If they did, they should stand by it, but if not, then they don’t have to be part of it.
Conservatives are always saying celebrities and companies should stay out of politics, so why can’t BRCC just sell coffee?
BTW, I have bought their coffee in the past, but it’s not to my liking, so this isn’t going to change my shopping habits.
I do believe that would be SEMPER FI, as in SEMPER FIDELIS.
Phi is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet, has nothing to do with the CORPS.
Have a nice day

Black Rifle Coffee is getting absolutely slaughtered on Parler. Even contributed some of my own opinions (yes, plural).
Also partial to Thin Blue Line from BRCC.
“Conservatives eating their own. Tucker, BRCC.”
Hey, feel free to buy their products. Gotta warn ya though, their address has changed...
They’re now on the other side.
“Ism’t this company owned by former military?”
Pete Butt-edge-edge is former military, and?
Yea there is that
But the owners have been interviewed several times and always cane off level headed.
Maybe success changed them
“...issue a one-sentence statement to the effect of saying (in this case) that “Black Rifle Coffee does not condone the alleged actions of Kyle Rittenhouse” and leave it at that...”
Don’t agree at all...they’d still be in deep doodoo. They should’ve just kept their yaps shut.
Agreed...I just visited their web site and there is no mention of this...at least give them a chance.
“What is wrong with you people?”
So now we’re “you people”?
I’m curious...which one of the BRCC owners are you...Evan or Mat?
I think BRCC never saw this reaction coming and will be shaken, if not already stunned, because they like many others fail to understand there is no room for excessive delicacy whilst dealing with those who have already had enough of the PC/cancel culture and are now facing the prospect of a stolen election.
The Left is infiltrating our military today, just as the Bolsheviks did to the Russian Army during WWI.
In the depths of my soul I wish I could come up with a reason as to why I typed that!!!
If Kyle were my client, he wouldn’t be allowed to wear that shirt in the toilet, much less this!
So is Charlie Rangel.
It isn’t just that they caved, but they caved at this point in history. To marxists. After a stolen election.
Methinks they have no clue how pissed people are. Apparently it is not just elites in DC and NYC who live in ivory towers.
“They’re now on the other side.”
I have been watching Tuck. He is not on the other side.I know of 3 liberals who after watching his show turned conservative.
It was stupid of Beck to post that photo. BRCC are far from liberal. All it did was give liberals more ammo against aconservative company.
