Whalen posted a video of himself in October 2020, saying he could "conceal the fact that his shirts are made in China by ripping out the origin tags and replacing them," according to the commission'sThe FTC ordered Whalen and his company to "stop making bogus Made in USA claims" and "come clean about foreign production." Whalen must also pay a $211,335 fine.
To use a "Made in USA" tag, Lions Not Sheep must ensure that the item is "substantially transformed in the United States, its principal assembly takes place in the United States, and U.S. assembly operations are substantial," as well as clearly disclose "the extent to which the product contains foreign parts, ingredients or components, or processing," according to the FTC.
They sell that crap on Amazon- is there a way complain to Amazon about it?
Makes me wanna’ smoke a big old cigar to celebrate the well-deserved fine.
This is on Amazon right now. “Men's Wolves Not Sheep Patriotic American Flag Sleeve T-Shirt”. “Made in USA or Imported”. So where was this shirt made? It’s a given it was made somewhere in the universe.
Always grifting
For God's sake!
That’s so trumpian
The sad side effect is that reporting this is giving them some great free advertising. The left, which wouldn’t buy their stuff anyway, is outraged about the tag swap. The far right, which likely doesn’t much care about the swap, sees this and says “cool merch”.
Almost universally, the people who talk profess to be nationalist are the ones whose behavior is least nationalist.
Some of the MAGA stuff is worth the money. Like this one. Only, 59.99+shipping from China. A steal.
It’s easier to just ask China to put in that label before shipping to USA
FAKE FAKE FAKE. Of course they are made in China. That won't stop the suckers from buying them though.

'Yeah but patriotism is way cheaper in China and it owns da libs so I stand by this pragmatic and prudent business decision.'
Lyin’, not sheepish about it.
Why is this not a surprise?
annlarraine
davidrellis Isn’t this the epitome of being a member of the cult? You buy Chinese items and slap a tag on it so you can grift a little more while spouting that folks should buy USA only. True Trumpian behavior
that is the saddest name for a company I've seen in a long time lol
Fake News!!!
It never stops with them. The corruption is endless.
Trickle down lying.
Axios is a liberal page. Has no credibility.
Meanwhile Biden’s soft with china .
Does it surprise anyone that to be or smell like Trump means to be a liar, to be fake and deceitful. Always grabbing by whatever means necessary but, never giving. That’s the graveyard description.
The amount of money these swindler politicians, merchants , and false prophets are fleecing from ultra Maga is staggering. I’ve never seen a more gullible group of folks in my life. Go Trump Go Broke like his previous 6 bankruptcies.
You can not make this stuff up - Everyone who supports Trump is amoral and criminal.
Literal fakes.
'Lyin' to Sheep'
😩😩😩😭🤣😂💀
Is anyone surprised
Why only 200k
Of course they did, fucking hypocrite scumbags lmao
The complete blindness of these rubes of hypocrisy has no limits GOP maga
I've been trying to not buy Chinese products. Online it's rarely clear. Even if a company is based in France the package comes from China. Now this. What's wrong with telling buyers the country of origin. We care!
So they are frauds just like the former guy.
I've seen some made in (country) and then packaged in usa labels. I don't even trust made in usa stuff anymore, starting with the cars.
Make Americans Gullible Again!
Is there a trumper dumper out there that doesn't lie for profit for some reason. Including all those Christian's support Dumpy?
Frauds not Patriots MAGAclowns
Aren’t the GOP always complaining that Democrats are soft on China? Can’t get much softer than buying merch from China and pretending it’s from the US! Were the “Make in USA” tags also made in China?
Lol should be shut down for fake manufacturing location tags but whatever
This is the Biden administration just targeting true American patriots and their smol business
Everything MAGA says it's about has turned-out to be a lie or a facade. Everything. They've let a draft-dodging, veteran-hating, Democracy-destroying, Constitution-attacking madman turn them into a party of faketriots & CINOs just like him.
Look how ragged that $0.05 flag is they sell for $9.95
tells you all you need to know about 'America Foist!'
Yep, that tracks
Do you think Trump was ever involved with a company that accidentally committed no crimes? Like, “oops, we forgot to break any laws, I hope Mr Trump doesn’t get mad.”
Wow! FTC surely is dialed into pro-trump companies
SadieMaeTN FAFO for the win!
Lmao.
The entirety of the modern conservative movement is just a huge grift
Peak MAGA.
Always grifting criminals.
A MAGA grift/scam?
🤣🥴🇺🇸
Liars and Sheep
😂 Just can't traitor enough
Another Orange Ghoul MAGA grifter
