NRA Supporters Are Blowing Up Their YETI Coolers--And It Doesn’t Really Even Make Sense

NRA Supporters Are Blowing Up Their YETI Coolers--And It Doesn’t Really Even Make Sense

Supporters of the NRA took out their ire on the coolers.

NRA supporters are destroying their YETI Coolers over changes made to the relationship between the nation's largest gun lobby and the outdoors company.


Gun enthusiasts have been turning their weapons on their beloved coolers, protesting claims by the NRA that YETI was ceasing all business relationships with the organization.

"Suddenly, without prior notice, YETI has declined to do business with the NRA Foundation, saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor and refused to say why," Marion Hammer, the NRA's Florida lobbyist, wrote in a letter. "They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation. That certainly isn't sportsmanlike. In fact, YETI should be ashamed. They have declined to continue helping America's young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities."

YETI coolers aren't cheap, ranging from several hundred to $1,300. Calls for boycotts of YETI have accompanied the demonstrations. YETI, however, disputes the NRA's announcement, stating that they are not severing ties, but merely reevaluating their policies and working on new incentives for NRA members to buy their products.

"A few weeks ago, Yeti notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs," Yeti said on Twitter. "When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations about this change, Yeti explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the (NRA) distributed on April 20."

Tweets showing the destruction of expensive personal property by its owners have been popping up, many of which include statements of protest. Known as the "Yeti Cooler Challenge," owners are filling the coolers with tannerite, an explosive, and blowing them up.




The irony speaks for itself.

"Blowing up your yeti coolers serves no purpose since you've already given them your money. They don't give 2 sh*ts what you do with it after that."

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
