The powerhouse outdoor retailer Patagonia is pulling its products from the world-renowned Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The move comes after one of the owners of the resort co-hosted a fundraiser for the far-right House Freedom Fund earlier this month. Our partners at KHOL spoke with the reporter who broke the story. And, Utah is one of 19 states designated to receive Afghan refugees in the coming weeks and months.
