‘Lions Not Sheep’ is the latest example of right-wing groups exploiting political frustrations to make a quick buck.
(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Robert Gehrke.

If your fashion sense resides in that sweet spot between the sophistication of Affliction t-shirts and the jingoistic flag-humping of a Jon McNaughton painting you may have already encountered “Lions Not Sheep.”

For everyone else: Lions Not Sheep is a Utah-based clothing company launched in 2016 that makes stridently pro-America, pro-gun, pro-Trump shirts, hats and apparel.

Sure, they sell the standard “Let’s Go Brandon” tees. Who doesn’t?

But they’re also your source for a “Give Violence a Chance” sweatshirt (now on sale for $40) or a “Shall Not Be Infringed” tank top. And if you need to convey your love and respect for the Stars and Stripes, what better way to do it than with their American flag onesie pajamas?

Don’t worry, ladies. They’ve got you covered, too. Perhaps the “No Beard, No Booty” T-shirt sends just the right message about your independent thought and depth of character.

Every order comes with a free copy of the U.S. Constitution because they love America. So much so, in fact, that they had made a big deal about all their clothing being manufactured right here in the U.S. of A.

That is, they used to.

Last week, the owner of “Lions Not Sheep” agreed to pay a $211,335 fine to the Federal Trade Commission after the agency accused the company of cutting the labels that said “Made in China” or other countries out of their clothes and stamping them “Made in USA”.

As part of the settlement, the company agreed to cease its label fraud, not promote foreign-made products as American made and contact everyone who has purchased a garment since May 2021 and (sheepishly, I presume) tell them about the deception.

Perhaps these lions are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Or maybe they’re just weasels.

A lot of the right-wing rage machine is fueled by people looking to exploit the anger and make a quick buck.

You are officially the largest troll of any message board of all time.

Right wing rage machine… ell of freaking ell.

If there was a real active right wing rage machine out there… you would be huddled up with your cat in a hiding place. There wouldn’t be just burned out targets, busted windows, screaming, stinky, ugly leftist hags, and small feminine males with their mouth gaped open taking selfie pictures on some kind of land protest.

Because no left-wing group would ever dare do such a thing.

They're rich now and will be even after this fine. But you'll still be you.

It's so easy to see the grifters. I can see it when progressives share these stupid videos of people who were former "right wingers" and are there just for the grift. They tell their fertile fallacy and progs eat that shite up.

This only happens on the right. The left never gifts.

Meanwhile Biden just set another 10 billion or so to Ukraine.

So, a company broke the law and is paying a fine... Am I supposed to be outraged at this or just shrug it off?

Your "article" doesn't show what you think it does. This is a VERY common practice. Your "article" shows a company that was almost certainly singled out because of the content of their products.

And it reads like it written by a teenage girl writing for the school paper.

Bikers for Trump did something similar, although they weren't being deceptive. They were just hawking their made in Haiti merch. When the leader was asked he was like, well it's too expensive to make it here. This is true, and it's Obama's fault.

Is the merch made in the USA or imported? That's all that really matters here.

They probably bought plain t shirts made in China and monogrammed the stuff onto them in the US.
