An apparel company known for inflammatory apparel championing the Second Amendment and Donald Trump has been fined after the Federal Trade Commission found the company falsely claimed its imported apparel is made in the U.S.
Utah-based Lions Not Sheep and its owner, Sean Whalen, were slapped with a $211,335 fine last week after the FTC found the company removed Made in China tags, replacing them with fake Made in the USA labels, according to a FTC news release. . . .
The apparel company sells items including T-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets on its website as well as through Amazon and Etsy.
Products, according to the FTC, are marketed heavily through social media channels, claiming that it would show people its possible to live your life as a LION, Not a sheep.

This company perfectly represents the ethos of MAGA: It's all about the grift.
