WI Brewpub Owner Pledging Free Beer If Trump Dies Now Running For Governor:
Meanwhile, an FBI spokeswoman says an investigation into Kirk Bangstad remains ‘ongoing’ as the brewer cashes in on his 15 minutes of infamy.
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.
“Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their
marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news
cycle. We’ll never know,” the incendiary post stated. “Regardless, we
stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.”
Bangstad earlier this year promised “free beer, all day long” on the day of the president’s death.
On Thursday, officials from the agencies paid a call on the northern
Wisconsin brewery to ask Bangstad some questions. True to form, the
leftist attention whore posted a livestream video
of two extremely patient and polite government officials asking him
some very salient questions. He said his lawyer, Fred, was with him and
that he was live-streaming to “make sure this is transparent and public
because we don’t trust the federal government anymore.”
One of the agents asked the brewer — drunk on his sense of
self-importance — whether he wanted to “kill, kidnap, inflict bodily
harm to the president or the vice president, or has made threats to do
that.”
Bangstad said he did not.
His lawyer said the brewpub owner doesn’t know anyone who wants to
provide support to anyone who wants to harm Trump. So, why did Bangstad
post about a “brother or sister in the Resistance?” one of the agents
asked.
Attorney Fred responded that what Bangstad meant was “the left in
general … All of those who don’t like what’s going on right now and they
are mostly peacefully protesting the actions of the administration.”
In a follow-up post, Bangstad included the phone number of the Secret Service agent.
“Wow, imagine being so entitled that you incentivize the
assassination of the President and don’t think you should be asked about
that. Then, you post the phone number of the Secret Service agent and
encourage people to harass him. What a piece of work,” wrote a follower identified as Andrew1776.
In an email to The Federalist Sunday evening, Caroline Clancy, Public
Affairs Officer for the FBI’s Milwaukee Division, said the
investigation is ongoing.
“The FBI and U.S. Secret Service follows up on perceived threats
against the President of the United States or any one of our
protectees,” Clancy wrote. “The FBI and Secret Service together followed
up on information received and conducted further investigative steps,
which included a voluntary interview with the individual. This is an
ongoing matter, and we do not have further comment.”
An official from the U.S. Secret Service could not be reached for comment.
