Quoted: Yeah, I don't support anyone who pays off both sides. We're way past the point of that. This isn't a lowly employee like a grocery checker. It's worse because they are knowingly syphoning money from a cause and using it against it. Act Blue and Joe Biden support disarming Americans or making them felons overnight if they do not comply. Anyone supporting them at this point is against the Constitution and not on our side period. View Quote For the record it does look like Hafer has donated to both sides in the past. Open Secrets shows only one donation, and it was to the Republican David Owen McKeon in 2018, in the amount of $1000: https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Evan+Hafer ActBlue in 2020 is a mortal sin though. |

View Quote Yeah, and this post shows more donations from the FEC...McCain, Obama, Tulsi Gabbard (assuming the McCain and Obama donations were from the same Evan Hafer, from his time in the military): https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/BRCC-Black-Rifle-Coffee-Company-bends-the-knee-/5-2394381/?page=26#i89275520 I wasn't able to pull those up on the FEC site myself though, and I lost where the ActBlue donation was recorded. |

Just another example if you served in the military does not mean you are NOT self serving when out.
Anyone that supported Obama , Biden and the dem's today is not a friend of anyone I know. |

Quoted: Ummm no. You're the idiot. You don't know what you are talking about, yet you are mouthing off. Having to spoon feed you short attention span idiots is tiresome. Initially they canceled the podcast funding because of the pic and the leftwing outcry. Then they got hit with a lot of cancelations from the right and backtracked on the podcast trying to saythey did not cut off funding. Their claims about not advocating/supporting anyone is a lie. On their Instagram a member found them supporting a Marine serving time for what he claimed was a self defense shooting. So they support self defense, but not for civilians. Later it was discovered that the CEO liked a couple of Tweets bashing Kyle. He also hates Trump per a podcast he was on with David Frum. Finally, he has donated money to the Obama campaign and Tulsi Gabbard. This is why we are saying fuck BRCC. View Quote Oooof Attached File |

Their response to KR was barrel/monkeys meh.
Donations to ActBlue. FBRCC. |

Not mine, but a great explanation of how a lot of people feel.
People are mad at black rifle coffee because they want right-leaning companies to go all in for the right just like the left leaning companies go all in for the left. If you’re on the right it never feels like you get a hearty endorsement from any such company… At best you get neutrality and at worst you get disavowed. Or to put in another way: everybody fears the left-wing mob but nobody fears the right-wing. Right-wingers are starving for someone to have their back. That is why the reaction is so strong.

My biggest problem with BRC isnt their hands off attitude with KR.
Its their donations to antigun politicians. |

It appears that we broke them.
They have "turned off" the messaging function on facebook. "BRCC isn't available right now", "message could not be sent" |

I spent 3/4 of this thread trying to be reasonable and wait for the rest of the story. When the rest turned out to be donating to Obama, fuck that guy. I'm glad I hardly spent any money on their products. They can fuck off. Good opportunity for the Hodge Twins to start selling coffee I guess. Already had a hat on the way anyways from them, should be here today.

Quoted: Really this is pitiful guys, you all are as bad as the left cancel culture. View Quote Slight difference; no one is running a thousand bots screaming at them on twitter, no one is calling for nationwide bans. I'm just not going to spend my money there. I don't care whether they go out of business or not, but skimming through the thread, I'm not seeing any mass organization attempts to "cancel" them. If people want to continue to buy from them, fine...that's their prerogative. It was sketchy enough yesterday when they just disavowed Kyle entirely and gave legitimacy to the left's wailing...after all the shit that came to light between pages 25-33, yeah, that solidified my opinion of getting the fuck out of this train wreck before my next refill. |

So Hafer is a lib? Here's my shocked face.....He was an Officer in the Army. Officers are more likely to be Libs than enlisted......its all that good college education/indoctrination they receive and their self serving superiority attitude.
I'm stopping my coffee subscription now. He can support whoever and however he wants, this is STILL America. I will show my support and displeasure with my feet and wallet. |

It's identical, go read the "reviews" on their website. Thousands of people giving them horrible reviews. It is one thing to choose to spend your money elsewhere but another to try and destroy a company.
You all are as bad as a leftist mob. Maybe some self reflection would be better than yelling at a company. |

GD has an amazing track record of fooling themselves into thinking an individual is pro-2A only to find out later they made some bad assumptions based their own weak understanding of how the world works.
Sometimes that discovery fuels outrage, as in this case. Sometimes that discover fuels even greater fanboyism and mental gymnastics. It's an interesting place. |
|
So to sum this up.
A poorly thought out response to St. Kyle, wearing a BRCC t-shirt, leads to a chan style doxing of the CEO and selective staffs affiliation and donations to anti-2A groups and politicians. BRCC is the Fox News of morning beverages. |

Companies would be wise not to donate politically.
That seems to bite them in their public ass every fucking time. |

Quoted: Really this is pitiful guys, you all are as bad as the left cancel culture. View Quote No, the left's cancel culture is about opportunistically harassing financially vulnerable people and their employers until they're fired and unemployable and starve. It is geared specifically at ruining people's lives in the most vicious possible way, relentlessly, without regard for the truth or justice. This is about realizing that we shouldn't preferentially support this guy for being a big 2A supporter, because he isn't one. The guy enriched himself on a deceptive premise. He had a good run, and he has enough money to retire. We'd be better off supporting someone else, considering people were supporting him for the name and not the coffee anyway. |
