Bangstad has previously promised “free beer” when Trump dies and has been involved in various controversies, including a harassment case and a disorderly conduct charge.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Kirk Bangstad’s brewery is a stage for his anti-Trump performances. He uses his business to attack the president and Republicans, and his social media posts often spark controversy. The latest post, joking about Trump’s death, is just another act in this ongoing show. Bangstad’s history of harassment and disorderly conduct charges adds to the drama. The Wisconsin Democratic Party and other Democrats are now called upon to condemn Bangstad’s behavior. The usual suspects are outraged, and the cycle continues.
