NRA supporters destroying Yeti coolers in a variety of explosive ways

[Jw2]

desperate NRA lies to it's members.  and I thought youse right wingers were against boycotts (of Laura Ingraham, for instance)

"the NRA-ILA stated . . . that '[YETI has] declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities.' Nothing is further from the truth. YETI was founded more than 10 years ago with a passion for the outdoors, and over the course of our history we have actively and enthusiastically supported hunters, anglers and the broader outdoor community . . . YETI is unwavering in our belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment."


But on Monday, just as the backlash and calls for boycott picked up steam, Yeti said in a statement to The Washington Post, also posted on Yeti's Facebook account, that the NRA letter was "inaccurate." The Austin-based retailer said it notified various organizations, including the NRA Foundation, that it was eliminating a "group of outdated discounting programs" from which the organizations benefited.

The NRA was not specifically targeted, Yeti said.

"When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation," Yeti said. "These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20."






My YETI cooler...worth every dollar.

actions have consequences, yeti is trying to walk back what they did. apparently they didn't realize who their customer base was. i have a big yeti, which i won at my rod and gun club, it works no better or worse than my less expensive ones. i guess if you are into that sort of thing, it is a status symbol. i won't blow it up, because, i would just have to replace it.

in re: NRA supporters destroying Yeti coolers.

It reminds me of when those wacko right wingers destroyed their Keurig coffee makers after that company pulled its ads from  Hannity's disinformation programme.
