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.

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.

BRCC's CEO was exposed months ago, and this puff piece bullshit isn't convincing anyone with a skeptical eye.

It seems as if their business grew exponentially overnight. What was their source of cash? IMHO, this isn't the CIA's first rodeo managing a front company...

No matter how much you try to appeal to people to not to jump to conclusions they still do it, we are talking the NYT

Either we have bunch of trolls on this forum or a bunch of really intolerant people

Its all very bizarre. What did he expect from meeting with NY Times? He’s just a victim who was totally lied-about and whose only fault is his child-like naivete?

If NY Times completely fabricated his statements, then sue them.

I’m reminded of 1980s DC Mayor Marion Barry - “The Bitch set me up. I shouldn’t have come up here. Bitch set me up!”

When you get betrayed by every company, you learn to expect it.

BRCC’s problem is they grew to fast, and have no idea of how to manage a brand. Not a bad problem to have, but a big problem.

Hafer INVITED the NYT and twice sent financial support to Democratic Presidential Candidates Obama AND Biden.

Hafer is a tool.

Always look at the source.
If its in “The Hill”, WP, NYT, CNN, AnyNBC, ABC, CBS or now even Faux News....
Its probably designed to fracture Trump and his supporters.

I watched the whole 9 minute speech from the CEO and he is full of it.

The man is a weasel and talks out of both sides of his mouth.

Piss on him and his coffee.

Notice that he did not repudiate his Kyle Rittenhouse Comments?

Yeah, he is 2nd Amendment, but wants the Militia charged with murder...

Not convinced.
