re: How did the Black Rifle Coffee Company miss on their statement on Kyle Rittenhouse?

Never trust or listen to someone that would rather take a laxative over a fine cup of coffee. Where do you fricktards come from?

I always long for the resident liberal to remind us what it means to be conservative.

Because they're cucking you. How many data points do you need?

It’s funny that you think that any political commentary that doesn’t align with yours is a company “trying to profit“ off of tragedy. There are a number of different ways they could’ve handled this, without taking sides. But they did take sides.

Unfortunately for them, their entire branding was geared toward the Second Amendment and those who are of like mind that self protection is a basic human right.

But as soon as a real world issue pops up, they run for cover like any woke corporation. Too scared of the violent leftist mob to even attempt a rational, sane and coherent position.

But you keep doing you.

This answers my question. Contrary to all of the comments I read in here, the unrecognizable brand of (R)’s that post here actually do want corporations to take political positions, but only when they are in alignment with their own. When dickheads like LeBron talk it is “shut up and dribble”, but when a gun-themed company doesn’t want to profit off of a tragedy, it is equally heinous. Wild.

Their entire brand is political in nature. They gear their products around conservative ideals and values, primarily supporting military and veterans, loving America, and as is in their name, supporting the 2A. Here was KR being railroaded in a case where the video evidence clearly showed self-defense. It was a case to support and defend the 2A, right up their alley.

They didn't have to try and profit from it and they did not need to financially support Rittenhouse but they should have made a statement defending the right to carry and use a gun in self-defense.

If they don't want to be political, that is fine but you can't be a political company and then shite on your base over a case that is rooted in what your ideals are supposed to be. They were terrified of being labeled supporters of white supremacists because that was the narrative the MSN was pushing on KR. That was the reason they interviewed with the NYT and called Rittenhouse supporters repugnant.

I would prefer all companies stay out of politics but when you decide to become political, it is probably wise not to shite on your base in an effort to appease those on the opposite side of the political spectrum. They made that bed.

All these tards had to say was "Hey, we can't control who buys our shirts. Don't like it, don't buy our coffee". No, they bend the knee to the twitter mob and decide to double down and go on an interview with the NY.

He knows that, and he probably knew it before his original post.

I have more respect for liberals that don't hide than this twat.

The problem with claiming that the NYT ambushed them is that BRC tweeted a link to the article. No way in hell they did that before reading it.

This is a good point. If they actively played the 2A angle in their marketing and then cowered at their first chance of putting their money where their mouth is, they the customer base has a right to feel tricked.
