SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4 News) — Black Rifle Coffee Company, a veteran-owned and operated company based in Salt Lake City, addressed social media posts claiming sponsorship of Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old charged in the fatal shooting of two men during a protest in Wisconsin.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Elijah Schaffer, a reporter for The Blaze, tweeted Rittenhouse’s since-removed image wearing a Black Rifle Coffee Company shirt with the caption, “Kyle Rittenhouse drinks the best coffee in America.” with an accompanying discount code for the coffee company.
“We do not support legal advocacy efforts. We do not sponsor nor do we have a relationship with the 17-year-old facing charges in Kenosha, WI,” reads a statement on the Black Rifle Coffee Company website.
