Maybe Kyle was jacked up on coffee.

Could be his defense. Hey, the Twinkie Defense worked, didn’t it?

Actually that doesn’t clear up anything.

It clears up that BRCC didn't pull their sponsorship of Blaze TV, in direct contradiction of the misleading Fox13 report, which was based on a Utah Tribune story that they link to. The Tribune story includes the quote I excerpted, clearly stating that they did not pull sponsorship.

Oh yea? Well let me tell you Yo-Yo. I know what BRCC is, cause I just bought their (very overpriced) coffee for my small business once again, and was about to open an account to start purchasing regularly since we all drink coffee by the gallon in the office. That is even though I used to buy better coffee for much less in an Italian deli ten minutes from where I live. Well, guess what: NO MORE BRC! Here’s one example of BRC losing a customer for you, happy now?

Looks and sounds like CYA, not any principled stand.

Their “edgy” branding of a “conservative” coffee lasted about 2 years.

At least read my subsequent posts.

BRCC is being pounced on for a mistake by their spokswoman. A mistake that was corrected, but that this Fox13 story intentionally left out of their story.

A spokesperson for the coffee company told The Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday afternoon that the company was terminating its sponsorship of Slightly Offens*ve, but late Saturday, she said she had misunderstood.

Ohhhh !!!! Right....she misunderstood!!!! Where have I heard that from!!!!

Anyone can go to their website and easily have a ‘chat’ with them. If you buy from them, you may want to let them know what you think.

...and to think, most of us are old enough to remember when people who claimed to be on our side would simply 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 - no need to pull sponsorships are any other garbage.

Life used to be so simple.

So what’s next? - when the Left demands that Kyle be lynched without trial for the shooting, will Black Rifle Coffee be right there agreeing that lynching is called for?

Look, if you want to boycott BRCC, fine.

Just realize that the Fox13 story posted here is based on the Salt Lake Tribune story where BRCC said that it was a misunderstanding, but Fox13 purposely left out that part in their own story in order to make people like you angry at BRCC.

How about they put something on their website to that effect, since 90% of their customers who have heard about this believes they have pulled it?

Probably Chick-a-Fill, who used us to grow into the most successful fast food chain...just to then dump us.

If they want us back, simply stating it was ‘a misunderstanding’ doesn’t work with us - they will need to FIRE SOMEONE and identify that person. That’s when I see people coming back.

I did see post 71. What about it?

Apparently it's easier than I thought for a left-leaning paper (proof here) to tell half a story and get conservatives riled up against a conservative company.

Don't be manipulated by the Leftist Media.
