Conservatives Furious After Rittenhouse Whiskey Says To Stop Using Them To Toast Kyle Rittenhouse

In a depressingly predictable development following Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal last month, sickos began buying up a bunch of @RittenhouseRye (which is not related) to celebrate: https://t.co/dkeXOefBbQ pic.twitter.com/jCGnqEpS6t

1/3 We have been disheartened to learn that some individuals and businesses have been using our Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey brand to celebrate the Kyle Rittenhouse case verdict, despite the profound loss of life from those events.

Go woke. Go broke. No more of your products for me.

Thank you, I won't buy Rittenhouse to celebrate....and come to think of it, I just won't buy it anymore since you want to play politics.

Get ready for a marked decline in all Heaven Hill brands at the largest liquor store in southern Maryland.
I can and will make that happen. Should have stuck to whiskey. There was no reason to insert yourself into this debate. Enjoy your virtue signaling.

I didn’t boycott you during the strike, but your “woke” political stance has cured that. Hopefully everyone sees you for what your employees obviously have. Never again will I buy your brand.

The triumph of justice over the demands of the mob will always be worth celebrating.

But, you're right, we don't need to celebrate with your product.

Carry on.

I'm so proud that my favorite bourbon distiller took this mature step, and just emphasized, without siding with either side, just noting that in light of lives lost there's no ground for a toast.

People: "Cancel culture is attacking people for having an opinion! A violation of their right to free speech!"*

Same people: "This whiskey maker had an opinion! Cancel them!"

*Not a correct statement of constitutional law but that's an issue for another tweet.

Every comment like this inspires at least three buyers. For example, I'm buying 3.#genius

What’s wrong with our world - it celebrates the loss of life with violence and then in the same breath are “pro-life”. No matter the circumstances killing is killing. Hopefully we can once again find kindness for each other - now that’s something to celebrate

They’re just saying they don’t endorse using their product to piss on the graves of the dead. I think that’s reasonable?
