#1 Not surprising. They now have a history of doing this crap. Never bought from them, never will.

#2 They have always struck me as too....showy and narcissistic to be genuine.

#3 Yea but I liked their veterans in horror movies.
(Won't drink their coffee. Won't drink American coffee. Not so much the roast as the coffee machines need to be cleaned more often)

#4 Reminds me of the Ga. Gov. Kemp election campaign. Using firearms, chainsaws, and old F-150's as a political props. These people are indeed crafty.

#5 Trading on military backgrounds or associations is basically a derivative of stolen valor.

#6 ActBlue raised $19 million in its first three years, from 2004 to 2007. In the 2005-2006 campaign, the site raised $17 million for 1500 Democratic candidates, with $15.5 million going to congressional campaigns. By August 2007, the site had raised $25.5 million.
In the 2018 midterms elections, ActBlue raised $1.6 billion for Democratic candidates. Conor Lamb, Beto O'Rourke, and Kyrsten Sinema have worked with ActBlue.

#7 Hold on! Just 5 contributions ranging from $1 to $14.82 from 3 purported employees of BRC sounds fishy as hell.

#8 The BLM donations were managed by Act Blue. I suppose they charged a fee...

They're doing what their former commanders are doing.

#11 It's brilliant when you step back and look at it. Get conservatives to fund left wing policies by selling them right wing branded coffee. Wish I'd thought of it.

#13 Their behavior started to become contrary to their messaging around the time they were going public.

A coincidence I'm sure.

Was it the NY Times interview, looking back, they sort of poo poo'd as perhaps not entirely sober and were ambushed woopsies so sorry. But never really retracted and leadership behavior continued to change. Perhaps a consulting firm was contracted, or even assigned?

#14 Sad to see; "West Point does away with "Duty, Honor, Country" in its mission statement and instead replaces it with "Army Values".

#16 #7 is right - hold on! Link doesn’t work in story but I saw this somewhere else this morning. There were like five donations to a Democrat via ActBlue (ActBlue is like WinRed - fundraising platform for most congresscritters). It did not show the company itself giving, it showed an employee giving. You have to list your employer when you give a donation, it’s the law. Anyway, out of 630 employees they managed to find 5 donations to a Democrat by unnamed BRCC employee(s) There is not a company in the US that has over 500 employees that doesn’t have someone who has given a small amount to a Dem over the years. For what it’s worth, there company is headquartered in Utah. I had a hard time finding all that many donations made by employees (presumably executives live near HQ) to any person or party. I did see that CEO Evan Hafer gave 500 bucks to Tulsi Gabbard. So that’s the closest link I can see to the claim BRCC gives to ActBlue. Preposterous….

#17 Also, the Communist left will do this to all businesses that try to be conservative and support our values. As soon as it gets big enough they will plant a bogus story to demoralize people on our side. I try very hard not to buy from businesses that support Communist Democrats.
