Patagonia dumps Jackson Hole ski resort after far-right fundraiser


Patagonia, the iconic sportswear company that’s built a worldwide reputation on outdoor athleticism and environmental activism, will no longer supply Jackson Hole Mountain Resort with its products after a resort owner hosted a fundraiser for the right-wing House Freedom Caucus.
Patagonia confirmed Tuesday that it would no longer sell to the resort, its largest single customer in the Jackson Hole area. The resort company operates retail stores in Teton Village at the base of the ski area, as well as Hoback Sports and the Jackson Hole Resort Store in nearby Jackson.
The move came after Jay Kemmerer, one of the resort’s owners, co-hosted a fundraiser Aug. 5, 2021, at a posh Jackson hotel for the House Freedom Caucus. U.S. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) headlined the event. Admission to the event cost a minimum of $2,000 per couple.

The three have parroted the former president’s false claims of election fraud and been panned by conservation groups for their environmental records. Patagonia and the caucus also diverge on social priorities like voting rights and advocacy for minorities and disadvantaged groups, according to widely reported public positions.

Never bought anything from them before, will be sure to continue that trend.

Think like me, act like me, agree with me or I'll try to destroy you. The tolerant, inclusive Left. It's not very funny how they behave the same way as the monsters they accuse everyone else to be. Every single monstrous regime this world has known did the same damn thing. The faces change, the behavior doesn't. Given half a chance - their regime of LGBTQ-BLM would be more than happy to commit wholesale murder against anyone who won't bow to their views.

Pretty sure the owner of the resort can do what he wants on his property.

Sorry Patagonia. Your stuff isn’t unique enough I can’t get the same thing a dozen other places, and nobody cares about your logo except silly urban hipsters who want people to think they go outdoors further than the coffee shop.

Freedom Caucus - Far-right?

Hell, they're constitutional centerists.

The three have parroted the former president’s false claims of election fraud

Since the election has not yet been audited, they cannot state with any certainty that there was no fraud. Thus, they cannot state that the former President made a false statement.

and been panned by conservation groups for their environmental records.

Ignoring the fact that many "Democrat-approved" businesses use some very seriously environmental destroying factories overseas, just having one slut jetting around on a huge private aircraft willy-nilly is quite the poster child for what you SHOULDN'T be doing, if you care about the environment.

Patagonia and the caucus also diverge on social priorities like voting rights

so Patagonia doesn't support the Rights of AMERICANS to vote by making sure their vote isn't diluted into uselessness by the inclusion of foreigners, or dead people, or multiple ballots by the same person, or non-human entities like corporations, etc.

advocacy for minorities and disadvantaged groups

Translation: setting these people above a certain racial and ethnic group that has become persona-non-grata lately.

They make great gear that they sell for awesomely high prices. It’s the perfect brand for virtue signaling elitist types. Too bad because they do make great gear.

We all have to make some sacrifice for the team ...

 

[ProgSpear]

Seriously? These assholes never heard of Columbia? Lands End? LL Bean? Duluth? The list goes on.

Clueless fucks.

 

[fresch]

Down at the rescue mission what shelf will I find their stuff on?

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Big deal

Well, some 12 year old kid in a sweatshop in China makes great gear.

Patagonia is just good at helping people pretend they don't know where it comes from.

I really want to see some conservative owner companies start cutting off leftist suppliers.

But they probably don't use any anyway.

I do remember this one though, it was especially gratifying.

too bad we can't convince the ammo companies to start scaling back what they sell to the .gov.

Eh. Unfortunately we are the minority. Freedom loving values are not what most Americans want I fear. You can boycott this and boycott that but it won't make a lick of difference. How is Nike doing? Levis. Gillette? Probably better than ever.
