WI Brewpub Owner Pledging Free Beer If Trump Dies Now Running For Governor
M.D. Kittle
The leftist Wisconsin brewpub owner who lamented last month’s failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump is using his 15 minutes of radical fame to run for governor. And, as you might expect, his platform is full-on Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Kirk Bangstad, owner of the leftist front business Minocqua Brewery, posted on his company Facebook page that the “rumors are true.”
“5 minutes before I started writing this essay, I filed papers to become the next Governor of Wisconsin,” Bangstad declared. He added that he’s throwing his hat into the crowded field of far-left candidates because he believes Wisconsin “needs a battle-hardened fighter to join the rest of America to save our Democracy from Trump’s regime.” He thinks he’s the only gubernatorial candidate who fits his particular Trump-hating credentials.
Bangstad’s campaign announcement came a week after a Minocqua Brewery social media post urged the next would-be Trump assassin to improve his “marksmanship.”
“Well, we almost got #freebeerday,” Bangstad apparently wrote in now-deleted posts after a gunman stormed past a lax security post at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25. Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old California man, has been charged with attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a violent crime.
