On 30 November 2016, what appeared to be an e-mail from Ace Hardware confirming that the company was refusing to sell supplies (such as propane) to Dakota Access pipeline protesters appeared: A video was also published to Facebook, in which an Ace Hardware employee named Camillia used language similar to the e-mail (saying effectively that Ace Hardware had maintained that they were complying with law enforcement by refusing to sell propane to DAPL protesters): On 1 December 2016, USUncut published an article reporting that Ace had refused to sell supplies to DAPL protesters. This time, the quoted representatives referenced incendiary products: Posters to the official Facebook page of Ace Hardware pledged to discontinue doing business with the chain if the ban remained in place: Screenshots of e-mails and recorded phone calls (all, apparently, with a single representative named Camillia) are the sole evidence of Ace Hardware's refusal to sell propane to DAPL protesters. On 1 December 2016, Ace issued a statement on their web site, denying that any ban was in place: We called the number in the original message (which is indeed Ace Hardware's) and a representative (who was not named Camillia) referred us to the statement on their web site.
