A Florida CEO posted a selfie in front of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Now, some longtime customers are boycotting his company.

Bartenders have long ordered cocktail shakers, strainers and stainless-steel jiggers from BarProducts.com. Some stopped after Jan. 6, when the company’s chief executive posted a photo of himself in front of the U.S. Capitol while rioters stormed Congress.

The since-deleted selfie of BarProducts founder and CEO Mark Hastings, accompanied by the caption “Stop the Steal!,” has led to a fight with some of its once-loyal customers. The dust-up is the latest example of CEOs“After 16 years of buying my bar tools from his company I, for one, will never spend another cent with them,” Brad Kaplan, 46, posted on Facebook alongside a screenshot of Mr. Hastings’s selfie in a Trump hat.

Mr. Kaplan, who bartends at the Denver International Airport, was among the dozens of bartenders and owners who took to social media to denounce Mr. Hastings or call for a boycott of his company, generating hundreds of comments in support and thousands of “likes” across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter .

Some commenters defended Mr. Hastings’s right to protest and decried what they described as the cancel-culture nature of a boycott.

-😡😡 Corrupt - Democratic Policy : To systematically KILL WHITE (americans) ; 1st step is to reduce their Vote - Power by bringing Illegal Immigrants ; then bring Anti_White laws and then KILL Innocent .... this is a War

Why hasn't the Biden answered questions about who will be supplying all of this green equip. Is China, the biggest polluter, going to supply all these? Are we going to be energy dependent on China? And what about making medicines in U.S, not China? Biden is China's strawman.

Him supporting T***p would have been enough for me to find another vendor...

Thanks for reporting this. I will make sure to encourage everyone to purchase products from

They couldn't find a worker during the BLM/antifa riots and looting, therefore nobody was fired for their actions

I am curious if any noteworthy liberal business leader or business got boycotted for supporting a cause (e.g. lgbtq, abortion, BLM, etc.)? E.g. Stores refuse to put Ben & Jerry on shelf. To those outraged tweeters, I thought we agreed we can vote with our wallets.

NeverForgetJanuary6th

Consequences. Not everyone has the same perspective as you. Free market, right?

Wow Wall Street Journal really getting in on that cancel culture smh

Boycott

You deserve anything self inflicted. Being CEO is responsibility to your workers and staff. If you cause their jobs to be eliminated you deserve to no longer be in charge. Business 101

Hmm... it’s always complicated about that. That is about dignity gone worse. At simple. But at complex, parties do have interests. And that is beyond nationality.

The Wall Street Journal sucks ass!!

He’ll be fine. Just because he was there doesn’t make him a terrorist. As an American citizen he has every right to be there to support the President. He did nothing wrong. What’s happening to this country?

This company is finished. Lol

So you are publicly ruining an American company because they don’t agree with your political values

He didn’t need his business anyway. DontSayByeJustGo

Storm wall street

Good.

Believe in lies & nonsense, the painful reality of the Free Market can help sober you up, if your willing to admit your mistakes. Believing in the 'Big Lie' is a severe lack of judgement.

Biden ignores the double keystones of CST— the moral foundation of Pro Life, and the structural foundation of Subsidiarity.

The privilege to still be free and only having a spat with customers being discussed, versus evidence that he was one of the terrorists present at the capital that day is very telling.

I will never going to buy my bar products from him...never ever

Florida. That is all.

Why was Trump banned?

trespass ≠ riot

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

In 2017 millions of Americans and people all over the world took to the streets to protest the presidency of dangerous donald dump. No one assaulted the US Capitol that day.

Good!! LYING AND INCITING TERROR evidently has a PRICE LONG overdue💰💰💰💰💰

Im boycotting Kohl's for not selling My Pillows because owner excercised free speech. You can get things cheaper at Macys anyway with better quality. Kohls sucks.

Put him on the prosecution list

Conservatives like to tout themselves as the party of “personal responsibility”, but are quick to lament “cancel culture” as soon as they face consequences for their actions.

Not interested in supporting treason.

Who cares?

There’s some local businesses who’ve openly expressed similarly dumb & seditious comments. They don’t yet realize that some of their longtime customers have as a consequence now “ghosted” them...

A lot of people protesting there have consistently asked for a review about all the info we see OANN and ask for a thorough investigation , just like btw police brutality was too long not investigated ; the witch hunt over protesting is nuts 🌰 in my opinion

The wise old salesman once said....If your customer is a Democrat you’re a Democrat, if your customer is a republican you’re a republican.

This is exactly the way the world should work. He absolutely has the right to protest the election and people have the right to not buy his products due to his beliefs. No laws, no fuss, just freedom to do what you like.

But apparently not faces.

Arizona has a special TREASON LAW for folks that try to overturn elections & start wars: Arizona Revised Statutes, Article II Section 28: Treason against the state shall consist only in levying war against the state, or adhering to its enemies, or in giving them aid and comfort.

Has he been arrested ?

Most Americans don’t want the government to pit one race against another. But that's what Democrats are good at. Their political strategy is mainly pitting one race against another, and stoking racial division.

consumers have choices

Nothing WRONG with being AT, OUTSIDE of the capital that day!! STOP SAYING ITS BAD! The only “bad” ones are the ones that went INSIDE!

We strongly condemn Myanmar military coup over people elected government. Save Myanmar Save Burma Reject the Military We need democracy Help us and support our Leader, Aung San Suu Kyi government

Good. What a self indulgent, self destructive move on this CEO’s part. There are other bar product companies out there where bartenders can shop. BoycottBarProductsCom

Everything ending in 'ections' have consequences.

Actions have consequences —- or so the conservative right has often proclaimed with quivering sanctimonious finger-wagging. Of course this holds not a candle to their virtuoso level hypocrisy.

Who wd want to be affiliated with a terrorist

Posted for the 20th time this week.

AJEnglish is just da Fox News of Middle East funded by da Qatari govt. We all know da motives of oil💰& da Salafists/Wahabists(the main donor of da Islamic insurgence around the world) Ur channel never speaks about it ur own country's govt system! Paid u r! Shame on u!

It's not cancel culture. It's backing your beliefs with your actions. I spend my hard earned money where I choose. And it's not with people who want to believe conspiracy theories with no foundation. That's freedom of choice, guys.

I guess not all his customers shared his view

Textbook example of Felony Stupid.

Many should be fired and wonderful people are taking a stand against these terrorist groups

I don’t need anything BarProducts.com sells: but since the nasty haters on the Left have targeted his CEO simply for exercising his Constitutional RIGHT to assemble and protest, I will be placing a large order. Hang in there, BarProducts.com! MAGA!

Play stupid games...win stupid prizes

I'll go out of my way to support this company. Thank you for pointing this out, WSJ.

You may not diverge from the mono culture. Think back in line, boy!

I used to think that only Chinese Communist Gov would call its angry people as RIOTERS. 8964=2116. The Killers call the killed 'RIOTER'. You WSJ et al do look like China Daily.

EXTRA EXTRA READ All About itPresident Joe Biden the 1 American job killer this week say it ain't so and you're lying just sayin, respect only when earned 🙂

Adios Publix. There are alternatives.

So nothing wrong, he is a proud American.

See the power the media has. Brainwashed many into believing all at the capital rioted or entered the capital or damaging property. Many there didn’t know what was going on until later in the day.

Everyone that was there should have a class action lawsuit against the GOP, Fox News, oann and newsmax, for lying to them

Of course Mr. Hastings is entitled to his opinions. But consumers are entitled to choose where they spend their money. As one buyer says in this story: 'I think it would be good for [Hastings] to see [he's] not the only business out there.'

What’s wrong with the rest of them?

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS English language group members here Puerto Vallarta described as more criminally active in murder cover-ups, Elena Cortez de Brun Estate fraud activity support, on par with same by former Phoenix, AZ Police here,

Markets am I right 🤣

The people who participated the riot Are being punished. However. The person who initiated this a riot is not been prosecuted.

jpryor11 lol they have no idea that you’re not a CEO or from Florida!

saveyouaclick barproducts dot com is the company. They supply restaurants bar products.

Kick them all right square in the bank account... they’ll immediately fall to their knees, cry, then promptly apologize.

Cancelled.

让我们支持他的公司

Perfect!

Fuck ‘em.

January6th

Why was Trump banned?

Good, more customers of companies who have supported and funded the GOP should boycott their products and services.

We got you covered when it comes to security just click us

Good because unlike most people who boycott companies they never did business with this man will suffer for his consequences.

I love how the insurrectionists were so stupid that they documented their attempt to overthrow the government on the internet and social media

Damn, being a failed insurrectionist is bad for business, who would have knew
