Wisconsin Democrats condemn liberal backer's Trump assassination post

State Democrats called the post completely unacceptable and urged retraction after a shooting at a Washington, D.C., event Trump attended.

  • On Sunday, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin denounced a social media post by Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad that appeared to celebrate Saturday's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
  • Following the April 25 shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Bangstad's brewery account mocked the assailant's 'marksmanship' and referenced a longstanding promotion promising free drinks the day Trump dies.
  • Democratic Party spokesman Phil Shulman called the rhetoric 'completely unacceptable' and urged retraction, while Democratic candidate Cooke described the statement as dangerous and symptomatic of political violence.
  • Despite facing widespread condemnation, Bangstad defended his remarks by linking to merchandise promoting Trump's death and offered advice to Democrats on countering Republican rhetoric.
  • Previous actions by Bangstad include lawsuits to remove Trump from the Wisconsin ballot in 2023 and 2024, reflecting a broader pattern of political activism through his Minocqua Brewing Company SuperPAC.
