In a move to virtue signal, YETI Coolers cut off ties to the NRA Foundation (the shooting sports division) saying they no longer wish to be an NRA vendor, but won't say why (coincidentally timed with others dropping the NRA). This somewhat dickish move, lead to backlash amongst shooting enthusiasts, many shooting their coolers for YouTube, and YETI's competitors stepping up their 2A support. Of course WaPo and Snopes "FactChecked" by taking YETI's delayed damage-control effort claim that they were just ending an old program (that didn't apply to anyone else). They didn't wait for NRA's reply to that which sounded a lot like: {cough:bullshit!}.


Of course if it was a mistake, YETI would have apologized, and re-instated a new program, or worked with the NRA to fulfill their prior orders and rectify it. None of that happened, so the only people gullible enough to believe that lame excuse would be Snopes/WaPo.
