Navy SEAL and Coffee Entrepreneur: Don't Buy My Brew if You Support Biden, Trans Rights

Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 2 MIN.

A former Navy SEAL and current coffee shop owner posted a video online saying he'd been at the attack on the U.S. Capitol, telling anyone who voted for Biden or supports transgender Americans not to buy from him, NBC affiliate WFMJ reports.

Adam Newbold, who owns C4 Coffee in Lisbon, Ohio, posted the 14-minute video on Canadian video-sharing website Rumble, where Trump supporters have recently gone en masse as other online platforms have begun cracking down on hate speech and misinformation.

"If you feel that America is on the right track and there is nothing wrong with gender-neutral, don't know which bathroom to use or use whichever bathroom you feel like during the day, don't buy our coffee, it's not for you," Newbold said.

That's only one of Newbold's disqualifiers when it comes to whom he feels should, and shouldn't, be shelling out for his brew.

"If you voted for Joe Biden, don't buy our coffee, it's not for you," Newbold said March 19 via video. "If you believe there was nothing wrong with this election, don't buy our coffee...it's not for you."

Nor does Newbold want his java in the cups of those who would kneel in the name of racial justice, WKBN reported.

Newbold said he was at the Capitol on January 6: "I was there... I witnessed the patriotic angry Americans chanting, 'USA, USA,' " but did not enter the building and did not condone the violence

In an earlier post, however, Newbold praised the event: "I wasn't sure if we still had spine anymore," WKBN reported.

In addition to his coffeehouse, Newbold owns Advanced Training Group Worldwide, which consists of veteran special operators and intelligence community professionals providing high level consulting.

Newbold "coordinated a local caravan to rally in D.C. in support of President Trump" on the day of the attack, reports news site Mahoning Matters.

"I'm pretty extreme...but not anti-American or anti-government. I'm certainly not a terrorist or a traitor," Newbold told the publication.

Newbold supported "New World Order" conspiracy theory in a March 19 video, putting those who disregard such theories on notice not to purchase from him. That conspiracy theory posits "a secretly emerging totalitarian world government," Wikipedia says.

"New World Order is okay? If you believe that all the conspiracy stuff that you hear is baseless...don't buy our coffee, because it's not," WFMJ quoted Newbold saying.

The NBC affiliate noted Newbold "was previously questioned about his activities during the attack on the Capitol by the FBI.

"Newbold's company ATG received $1.4 million from the Department of Defense in 2015 for government services, but resigned as contractor with the Navy Warrior Challenge program according to Task and Purpose," WFMJ added.

Fast Company noted that those who post to Rumble "can earn cash" by sharing content to the platform. "If a video makes it to the front page of Rumble, they'll get $100 a pop," the site noted.
