Evan Hafer
Who is Evan Hafer; he's a former 20 year Army veteran who reached the rank of Sergeant First Class, a Green Beret, a graduate of University of Idaho (Political Science), CIA Contractor/Asset, Jew, Vet-Bro business owner, and CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Company. While there might be some psycho or serial killer type stuff while he was in the Army, as far as I can tell there hasn't been whispers about him and most of the drama is from his other activities upon leaving the Army. So upon leaving the Army, Hafer decides to do what other Vet-Bros do, he starts a business that appeals to the gun-loving, 2A, right-wing nationalists in the USA; the kind of people who will unironically thank you for your service and buy you a beer just because you put on the uniform. The problem being, the FEC tracks and allows the public to view private donations; and he has donated $500 to Barack Obama and Tulsi Gabbard in the past. He claims the Obama donation was from losing a bet and the Tulsi donation was because she is a fellow vet and was being bullied by other Democrats. The rest of his donations align with most basic right-wing people; to include over $15,000 donations to fellow psychopath and right-wing gun grabber Dan Crenshaw.

Other employees at BRCC have also donated directly to Democrat slush fund Act Blue; but this is about Hafer and his company, not other employees (unless they're fellow SOC types).
And there have been plenty of other political issues facing Evan Hafer and his company, namely a picture of the Kenosha Kid, Kyle Rittenhouse, wearing a BRCC shirt. You'd think a guy who built his brand on being guns, shooting, and being a bit of a psycho would be thrilled about a kid icing three dudes who were attacking them, without hitting anyone else, while being in the middle of a literal riot. Whether personal or business, he didn't want his company to be associated with that kind of degeneracy; while he and his friends continue to make videos and commercials involving guns, military hardware, and a bit of controlled violence.
But the problems don't stop there; on February 10th, 2022, Black Rifle Coffee Company went public (ticker: BRCC). Pretty amazing for a company that started less than a decade prior. But in May of 2022, 1791 Management Company filed a suit against BRCC citing Market Manipulation and Fraud. I'm not keen on stocks and what-not, but one of the things detailed is how Hafer held off on filing a report with the SEC, thus keeping the number of available stocks low, this is what they call a "squeeze."

But perhaps the funniest (if not disturbing) accusation against Evan Hafer while acting as CEO of BRCC is the lawsuit between him and former HR Director, Brandon Roper (Brandon Roper v Black Rifle Coffee). Brandon Roper joined BRCC on July 17th, 2016 and left on March 29th, 2017, failing to even be there for an entire year. While there's plenty to say, I will keep it simple and just copy/paste different lines from the paperwork, and attach the paperwork to this post for anyone to browse at their convenience.
9. On July 17, 2016, Mr. Roper started working at BRCC.
10. On July 30, Mr. Hafer and Mr. Roper competed in a handgun shooting match at Wasatch Wing and Clay range.
11. Mr. Roper had taken 1st place in the competition. Mr. Hafer was very angry that Mr. Roper had beaten him.
12. Mr. Hafer expressed his anger to Mr. Roper and this was when Mr. Hafer began to treat Mr. Roper in an extremely hostile and domineering manner.
13. Mr. Hafer felt like his reputation as an excellent shooter among the military Special Forces community was threatened by Mr. Roper when other military competitors heard the results.
14. Early in August 2016, Mr. Roper was forced to strip down to his underwear and participate in a “marketing video” where his image was digitally altered to look like he was naked. Mr. Roper was not given any opportunity to refuse to participate in this video and he felt like had he refused to participate that he would have lost his job.
15. In the video he is asked to pretend to do sit ups in a room with various other men who are allegedly having a “hotdog” party. The video was meant to poke fun at homosexuals and Mr. Roper participated in the video against his will and as a condition of his employment.
16. The video has been seen by thousands of persons on the internet much to Mr. Roper’s embarrassment and humiliation.
17. On or about August 15, 2016, Evan Hafer called Mr. Roper into his office. In front of Mr. Roper and several other people in his office, Mr. Hafer stripped down all his clothes and stood in front of Mr. Roper completely naked. Mr. Hafer acted as if he expected some sort of response out of Mr. Roper. Instead, Mr. Roper, averted his eyes and tried to turn the conversation back to work.
18. Several days later, Mr. Roper and Mr. Hafer were working alone in a conference room when Mr. Hafer turned to Mr. Roper and said, “Why don’t we close that door and butt fuck the shit out of each other?” Mr. Roper rejected the sexual proposition and the meeting continued in awkward tension.
19. After Mr. Roper had rejected Mr. Hafer’s advances and failed to comment upon Mr. Hafer’s nude body, Mr. Hafer became openly hostile to Mr. Roper.
20. By approximately early September 2016, Mr. Hafer started calling Mr. Roper “Mountain Jew” as a derogatory term because he was one of the few Latter Day Saints in the office. Mr. Hafer started being very mean and hateful toward Mr. Roper in front of other employees.
37. In February 2017, Matt Best, another owner of BRCC, openly teased Mr. Roper because he had never had anal sex with a woman. This took place in the workplace, in front of other employees and it horrified and embarrassed Mr. Roper horribly.
47. On July 18th, 2017, Mr. Hafer told Mr. Roper to meet him at BRCC offices so that they could complete paperwork to make Mr. Roper once again agent of record for the health insurance sales.
48. When Mr. Roper arrived at BRCC, he was met at the door of the office by Mr. Hafer who was openly carrying a gun in an unlocked holster on his hip, with the gun partially dislodged from the holster. Mr. Hafer, kept his hand on the gun. Mr. Higgins, general counsel for BRCC was present and asked Mr. Roper if he was carrying a weapon.
49. Mr. Roper said he was but that he could leave his firearm in his car if they wanted. Mr. Hafer told Mr. Roper that if he moved for his weapon that he would be shot on the spot. At this point, Mr. Higgins told Mr. Roper that they would not honor the contract that Mr. Hafer and Mr. Roper had signed the month before. Mr. Higgins falsely accused Mr. Roper of extortion for raising the sexual harassment and religious discrimination claims against BRCC and threatened to turn him into the insurance division for investigation and other threats.
Probably comes from him having grown up in Commiefornia.
