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.

“Self-defense for me, but not for thee.”
Maybe the Black Rifle company didn’t take up Beck on spending their advertising money on the Blaze.
The issue they made just evidences they’re part of this cancel culture trending. Pick a target and go......there are leftist groups who are paid to do this both in real time and online.
No. Idiots let their 17yo client come off as void of remorse to his jury.
So no one facing a court date can wear one of their shirts, or it makes them have to publicly renounce it? Also, if someone sees someone wear their shirt while facing a court date and says something positive about the coffee place, you are also in trouble?
Cowards, the whole company.
They pulled it from that show, but not the network.
Half their customer base isn’t conservative? Rifles?
That’s great. Why don’t they support Kyle?
You don’t what the situation is any more than me, but somehow they are all cowards, people who actually went to war multiple times for this country are now cowards...
Let’s see how this plays out before we start labeling people cowards...
Spec ops badasses... wet their specops panties when some good citizen USED a black rifle to protect his life when he was protecting a business from arsonists.
Wusses...
So you also believe it was wrong for Kyle’s lawyers to have him smile with Ricky Schroeder and the My Pillow guy, correct? I mean, after all, any smile on a person facing a court date is a problem, right, especially when it’s celebrities?
Get real.
How do we know they don’t they are denying a paid sponsorship that’s all....
Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions about a company with people who have done more than their fair share to defend this country...
Let it play out and we’ll see who they are, based on their past service, that’s the least we can do...
No. I think a public defender would have had the sense to say “Kyle, do you have a plane shirt you can wear in the photo”.
How do you know it’s not fake news?
“ Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions about a company with people who have done more than their fair share to defend this country...”
They jumped to a conclusion must faster than I. And arguments from authority don’t work for me. McCain, Kerry, etc all defended/served our country too.
“Black Rifle Coffee Company revealed to be just another team of grifters.”
I would not want my companies name on that kids shirt either in the photo. I do not blame BRCC at all. It was stupid to allow that to happen.
So be it then.....in the end it’s going to be awfully lonely when you throw everyone you disagree with...
