This led the company founder to cut this rather craven video disavowing any connection with Rittenhouse.

That wasn't as bad as their account liking posts shitting on him.

“It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said.

Absent the tape, we don’t know if the “repugnant people” were people who yelled at Hafer on Twitter over his decision, or if they are people who supported Rittenhouse, or if it refers to the “racist, Proud Boy-ish people.

You had to be there to get that one. He's thinking of people who pushed back on their shitty ad posts (they were warned it was against the terms and told to buy ads, and they got pissy) and who revealed its true colors when he sent a DMCA to via Cloudflare against legitimate satire. They weren't afraid of calling him what he is, and he recoiled. Both founders are jewish, by the way.

Wall Street doesn’t like conservative companies, especially ones with a political face.

There's no danger there. Its founders and employees look like childish degenerates.

I'm interested in seeing those liked posts for context.

I haven't found links to them, only anecdotes mentioning it in some comments. Nobody fucking links to anything any more, or even archives anything (luckily that interview I found and was deleted got caught in the wayback machine).

If it's possible to scrape likes from an account, they might still be discoverable.

It looks to me like they were liking tweets that showed they were not endorsing Rittenhouse, even if part of the liked Tweets were bashing him. I imagine they were freaking out while wondering how much business they were going to lose and were walking that fine line while pouring water over all the social media fires. Thank you for the link. I couldn't find any myself, only statements and interviews.

I found 2 coffee companies who were not afraid of the Rittenhouse controversy: Stocking Mill out of Connecticut and Brushtail out of Michigan.
