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.

It was stupid of Kyle’s representation to allow the photo.
“For those unaware, which is probably all of you clueless, curmudgeonly reactionaries, BRCC’s motto is “coffee for people who love America”
I hope there are plenty here who agree with you but keeping their mouths shut so they will not be attacked.Conservatives each each other. Why we are losing.
I agree with you 100%.
If Beck had that kid on with the name of my company on his shirt I would be ticked of as well.

They are getting crucified on Twitter and Parler. A post from Parler which sums up the situation quite nicely:
Nothing changes. They got pulled into a fight and they want to remain neutral. In these times, choosing to remain neutral indicates the side you’ve chosen. They built an industry on an “in your face attitude” and now that they are comfortably successful, they want to insulate themselves from the “arena”. It’s not sitting well with the crowd that put them where they are.
“Don’t agree at all...they’d still be in deep doodoo. They should’ve just kept their yaps shut.”
Understand - I was just trying to give them an option of distancing from the photo, while retaining their core values (hatred of their customer base).
“...while retaining their core values (hatred of their customer base).”
LOL!
Folks need to watch this video about who the Black Rifle Coffee Company supports/supported with political donations:
Tulsi Gabbard
Obama
John McCain
He also has has dug up CEO twitter responses and likes
Guy is a sophisticated huckster marketing his overpriced products with buzz words to reach a huge potential market among gun owners, patriots, and veterans...including slick youtube vids on the BRCC channel.
A buck a k cup for BRCC k cups. Starbucks k cups only cost 79 cents apiece for comparison.
I am done with BRCC. If they cannot stand for self defense, then screw them.
I got one of their coffee cups as a present. Very well made.
They responded and their explanation is garbage. Plus the CEO has previously sent donations to ActBlue, Tulsi, Obama, and John McCain. So yes, they deserve the anger from the 2A community and the U.S. veterans they backstabbed.
Curious where they responded...just again checked their website and could not locate a statement.
Interesting video on the company...too bad, they had the right idea but just another sell-out.
Done with them.
