A Salt Lake City coffee company said it objected to a tweet posted by a Blaze Media reporter who tied its coffee to Kyle Rittenhouse, accused of killing two people during an August protest in Wisconsin. Elijah Schaffer 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 was released Friday after supporters raised his $2 million bail.

Black Rifle Coffee Company revealed to be just another team of grifters.
Feckless
One thing is for certain. Kyle has the dumbest lawyers on Earth.
It was started by a Vet after his military service. He is a conservative, Veteran. His name is Evan Hafer.
That’s really not true, I watch their podcasts and they are openly supportive of the military and conservative causes..
They are proud hunters and routinely have people from the hunting industry on their podcast...
This is the first time they have been caught up in this type of cancel culture situation and are probably struggling with how to respond.
Their founder is Evan Hafer, former Green Beret and CIA contractor, who served multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq....
The other main people at the company are Mat Best former Army Ranger
The other two people are a marine scout sniper and combat air controller
They had Eddie Gallagher on in the past the former navy seal who Trump got involved with and Eddie Gallagher posted yesterday they have recorded another podcast with them to air sometime this week....
So lets cut them some slack, we can’t afford to throw them under the bus for something that took them by surprise...
In today’s insane USA it’s possible to destroy a company by having its name on a tshirt worn by someone on the left’s enemies list.
Say WHAT? Lin Wood is a dumb lawyer? You better brush up on your history ...
Question is ...why did they feel it necessary to take that statement as a negative???????
That “something” that caught them by surprise is starting to look like a shakedown by Rittenhouse’s legal team to me.
They need cash. Black Rifle has it.
Why would they EVER EVER, let their 17 year old client be seen in a Black Rifle shirt? Think about it.
It could be summed up as:
"Reporter tweeted a pic of Kyle along with a Black Rifle coupon code, implying some sort of celebrity endorsement, which Black Rile denies."
Also include those work for them such as Serial Masturbator of CNN and the New Yorker.
Let's not forget Scoldilocks Greta Thunberg and her parents wearing Antifa shirts.
So you would allow your 17 year old client to be seen wearing that shirt? Really?
Why would you be thrilled about your company being tied to a polarizing event? Why alienate half of your customer base?
Just ended being their customer.
Well he’s out and safely tucked away so they can’t be that bad.
I worked at a company where anything written on clothing was not allowed. If you came to work wearing it you were promptly sent home to change.
His jury will be shown his ear to ear grin and his Black Rifle shirt. I support the kid 100% and this was STUPID!!!
I have two Black Rifle Tee Shirts, maybe they are being used, but I trust these guys will get thru it, like I said they are good guys caught up in a shit storm...
starting a coffee company scratch and making it as successful as they are is quite the accomplishment....
Screwed the pooch, they did.
