A Utah-based apparel company known for selling far-right and pro-trump merchandise is ordered to pay more than $20,000 to the FTC for replacing "Made in China" tags with "Made in USA" tags.
Lions Not Sheep and its owner Sean Whalen was fined $211,335 by the Federal Trade Commission for making false claims that their imported merchandise from China was made in the US, according to a July statement from the FTC.
Lions Not Sheep became popular with far-right conservatives for promoting pro-trump, pro-gun, anti-Biden, and anti-mask messages on their products and on their website . Shirts that read "Go Brandon" or "#FBJ", can be purchased on their website.
According to the release, the FTC filed its complaint in May of this year, in addition to the hefty fine, Whalen and the company were ordered to "stop making bogus Made in USA claims and come clean about foreign production."
According to the complaint, Whalen posted a video on Twitter titled "Made In America!" with a Chinese flag symbol in which he stated he could conceal the fact that his shirts are made in China by ripping out the tag and replacing it with his made in the US tags.
The Commission voted 5-0 to approve the final order to charge Whalen and the brand for misleading consumers, per the release.

You can't make this stuff up...
those made in the USA tags were probably made in china too...
Is it $20K or $200K?
These sycophants are just dirty, money grubbing, hypocrites. How dare they trade labels like that?
I think it is the 200k. Typo maybe?
Speaking of [typos]
Probably. I sure hope it's 200k...more impressive. I think they should fine them 200B
I'm lost...
I think it is supposed to be #FJB (fuck Joe Biden)
So you cannot comment on what these donald supporters have done you are going to post a childish meme...
The intelligence of the right wing is astounding...
Typo definitely as it clarifies in the next paragraph "Lions Not Sheep and its owner Sean Whalen was fined $211,335 by the Federal Trade Commission".
that makes sense
Where do you see a meme???? Upvoted Trout's comment about the $200K at 2.1.2 . as I agree. Look in the article and you will see what I was pointing out continuing the discussion on typos. FFS
" messages on their products and on their website . Shirts that read "Go Brandon" or "#FBJ", can be purchased on their website."
See it now?
Thank you for the clarity.
You would think someone would proof read these things.
Why #FJB? The insulin cap a bad thing?
Technically the statement "ordered to pay more than $20,000 to the FTC" is accurate as the $211,335 they were fined is "more than $20,000".
I realize that....but it's like way more than 20k
Yes, it's clearly a typo, but still technically accurate.
I'm not going to argue the point. You win
I checked a number of other reports on it and they all state, $211,335. was the fine.
They should have named themselves "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing". They have been shearing those poor dumb gullible sheep, selling them cheap products and another big lie to maximize their profits all while pretending to foam at the mouth in rage over supposed Democrats being too chummy with China. Fucking hypocrites.
Yet somehow they will ignore it.
It's a political necessity to demonize China, but it's so fucking hypocritical considering the massive trade between those two largest economies.
I tried to read some of the 'blogs' from that website. That guy is a moron.
that's pretty much a prerequisite for being a devoted trumpster now...
News: Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault by over two dozen women.
Devoted Trumpster "Yeah, but what if they're all lying, yeah, what about that?"
News: Donald Trumps campaign manager was called “a grave counterintelligence threat” by a Republican led Senate investigation into the Trump campaign ties to Russia.
Devoted Trumpster "Yeah, but that was just one guy completely unrelated to our Lord and Master!".
News: Republican led Senate investigation found dozens of campaign staffer ties to Russia operatives and they "relied on hacked Russian information for" their "own political gain, while courting multiple connections with Moscow’s operatives,”.
Devoted Trumpster "Yeah, but it's all fake news, Fox never said anything about that 'supposed' Republican led investigation!".
News: Trump pressured the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political opponents with the threat of withholding military aid.
Devoted Trumpster "Yeah, but Hunters laptop!".
News: Trump lost the 2020 election.
Devoted Trumpster "Nuh Uh! Liar! Deep State! Fraud! Civil War!"
News: Thousands of Trump supporters attacked the capital, beating capital police with flag poles, using pepper spray, breaking through doors, chasing legislators with zip ties in hand, chanting "Hang Mike Pence" in order to stop the certification of a free and fair election in which no evidence of any widespread voter fraud was found.
Devoted Trumpster "Lies! I hear dead people were voting, and illegals, and snake aliens who wear the skin faces of humans they kill! And the 'Patriots' who visited the Capital on January 6th were just a bunch of righteous conservative Christians on a tour of the capital! Yeah, that's it!"..
Being a moron has been a prerequisite since the Tangerine tantrum decided to run for President. It's why his base has rarely shrunk, morons are incapable of having new thoughts or ever admitting they're wrong after being presented facts that contradict their position. If they did they would be admitting they're fucking useless morons, and that's the last thing a useless moron would ever do.
Perfect.
Why is everything connected to the Trump a lie, fraud and a grift? And why does the MAGA worship it so much?
On another article I made a suggestion that the sex doll manufacturers, that already produce a Melania model, should produce a nude anatomically correct Donald Trump doll so the Trump lovers could practise their desires in private that they can only fantasize otherwise. But then that suggestion SUCKS, doesn't it.
eeeewwww Buzz !!!!
Nothing to be upset about, pat, the Trumpsucker dolls would probably be made in China anyway.
