Now I don't know if the Proud Boys are White Supremacists or not, I at one time thought that their national leader was Latino, and he just pled guilty to burning a Black Lives Matter flag, and he was a prior FBI informant.

Black Rifle Coffee is a premium, small-batch, roast-to-order, veteran-owned coffee company based out of Utah. It has seen tremendous success over the past couple of years and has been dubbed the conservative alternative to Starbucks. But social media has been abuzz over the past few days regarding an interview Black Rifle CEO Evan Hafer gave to the New York Times Magazine. In response to the interview, The Post Millennial wrote that Black Rifle “goes woke, throws customers under the bus in bizarre NYT interview.” In addition, Newsmax said the company had called out some of its customers as “a repugnant group of people.”
Conservatives on Twitter expressed outrage.
“Black Rifle Coffee is DONE!” tweeted conservative author Nick Adams.
“It looks like Black Rifle Coffee, a company which became famous because of conservatives, is now trying to distance themselves from conservatives,” tweeted Brigitte Gabriel, the founder of ACT for America.
Something didn’t sound right about this.
Let’s get the air cleared right away. Black Rifle Coffee’s founder and CEO has spoken out and is disputing how his comments were presented by the New York Times and represented by those reacting to the article, who were led to believe that Black Rifle Coffee bashed conservatives.
Evan Hafer decided to set the record straight regarding the “significant amount of misinformation being put out on the internet” about Black Rifle Coffee and about statements that he has made.
Hafer quickly debunked the notion that he made derogatory remarks about BRCC’s customers or conservatives and then proceeded to explain how the New York Times deliberately twisted his words

FROM THE ARTICLE:
Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this situation is how many conservatives were quick to jump on the story, accepting that the New York Times Magazine had quoted the founders accurately.
Don’t become the lynch mob that you hate—especially when you normally distrust mainstream media outlets like the New York Times. Conservatives are already targets of cancel culture, we shouldn’t be canceling conservative companies because of something published by the New York Times without verifying the story first.
He’s an idiot for taking to the NYT in the first place.
I don’t do business with idiots.

He should have recorded the entire interview himself so he could present “the truth” if the interviewer did indeed twist his words.
I’ll repeat myself. He’s an idiot for taking to the NYT.
I don’t do business with idiots.

BRC deserves everything that’s coming their way (or leaving them behind)...
Here’s a solution...hire more ACT Blue people to help them out...it’s worked well so far...
So he didn’t claim the proud boys are racist and anti-Semitic? He didn’t say he would pay them to leave his customer base? Sorry, I heard his response, it was weak.
Get woke, go broke.
They don’t want me as a customer. They flat out told me that.
If you think Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self defense, they don’t want you as a customer either.
Starbucks, for all their left wing promoting, has never told me not to buy their coffee, wear their T-shirt or drink from their cup.
The last few days?
I thought this was months ago.
As always, wait for three days or so then the real story is revealed when it comes to the ny slimes.
Well their product is way too expensive for me to purchase. I find value and good flavor at a price I can agree with at other places.
He could have said something much sooner. Maybe he thought they could ignore it at first. They must have lost a lot of business for him to come out days later to call them liars.
Did the CEO really think that The NY Slimes was going to boost his business ?
They are not in the business of helping conservatives or conservative business, NY Slimes wants you dead and gone.
Now I don't know if the Proud Boys are White Supremacists or not, I at one time thought that their national leader was Latino, and he just pled guilty to burning a Black Lives Matter flag, and he was a prior FBI informant.
This guy backpedals faster than a clown on a unicycle.
Liberal+caving+idiotic…..
You’re going to have very few options as far as doing business. Need to go hippie and make all your own stuff.
Most of us who’ve been around here long enough consider you an idiot and an infiltraitors for the other side thus we put zero stock in any of your pitiful posts.
Exactly. Why talk to the Fishwrap?
Your just another mentally lazy moron. Go back to DU where you belong.
