Just hours after President Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and key members of his Cabinet were rushed to safety during a shocking shooting scare at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night, one Democrat Wisconsin brewery owner couldn’t hide his disappointment.
Minocqua Brewing Company – a far-left operation in Minocqua, Wisconsin – allegedly took to Facebook (his Facebook post has now been deleted) to share his outrage that the latest attempt on President Trump’s life didn’t succeed. They even dusted off their disgusting “free beer all day the day he dies” promotion, with posts reportedly lamenting “we almost got #freebeerdays” and mocking the “marksmanship” of whoever tried to take out the President of the United States.
This isn’t some random troll account. The brewery is owned by Kirk Bangstad, a hardcore Democrat activist who ran for the Wisconsin State Assembly, founded the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC, and has poured millions into electing Democratic politicians, judges, and liberal causes across the state.
Bangstad didn’t stop there. He personally sued to keep Donald Trump off the Wisconsin ballot in 2023 and 2024, filing complaints with the Wisconsin Elections Commission and dragging the case into court in a desperate attempt to disenfranchise millions of Wisconsin voters.
And now this same man, who uses 5% of his brewery’s profits to fund a Democrat dark money machine, is openly upset that President Trump survived yet another violent attack.
Let that sink in.
This isn’t the first time one of the brewery owner’s sickening posts has been revealed by the media.
In January 2022, this post by the Minocqua Brewing Company advertising “free beer all day long, the day he dies,” went viral and was reported on by Fox News and other outlets.
The brewery owner also has an Instagram account where he admits to meeting with a dying cancer patient to give her the opportunity to stab a Trump doll multiple times to ease her pain.
The owner of this account wrote:
“I had a very pleasant lady in the ER (I work there). On palliative care for abdominal cancer. Hated Trump. Gladly told me. I leaned down and asked if she’d like to meet my doll. So I lent her my Trump Voodoo doll and a pin to stab him. You could hear the laughter coming from the room as my patient stabbed the doll and her daughter took a video of the fun. I eventually went back for the doll, and my patient looked up at me and said she finished up by leaving the pin in the Trump doll’s heart. She whispered conspiratorially, “I stabbed him several times in his penis.”
So there you have it, folks, our voodoo dolls are being used extremely effectively for palliative care. If you want to do your part for the healthcare community, buy one for yourself or a loved one today.
Only two days ago, the Wisconsin brewery account posted that they “wish it were free beer day,” suggesting they wish President Trump were dead. Is it possible that Minocqua Brewing Company Kirk Bangstad had inside knowledge of the assassination attempt? Perhaps it’s worth an investigation by the FBI or Secret Service, since he seemed to be obsessed with President Trump’s murder.
A woman whose name on X is Juanita M Anderson shared an image from the brewery’s Instagram account showing a doll in the likeness of an ICE agent with a folded American flag behind him, indicating he was killed. On her X post, she shared the image with a message noting how she has repeatedly reported the account and Instagram refuses to take down his calls for violence against President Trump and ICE: I am a follower of Minoqua Brewing Company on Instagram and have repeatedly reported their page due to the nature of Kirk Bangstad’s rhetoric. Each instance has resulted in a response from Instagram indicating no violation of their community guidelines.
It appears the Minocqua Brewing Company owner offers his restaurant to far-left, Trump-hating protesters who are waiting for “free beer day,” or code for the day President Trump is dead.
This is the same toxic rhetoric we’ve heard for years. From Hollywood elites and left-wing media figures openly fantasizing about Trump’s death, to “comedians” holding up bloody Trump heads or “artists” depicting his assassination, the radical left has spent the better part of a decade normalizing violence against President Trump and anyone who supports him.
Don’t forget the long, bloody trail of attempts on Trump’s life:
July 13, 2024 – Butler, Pennsylvania: Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet from Thomas Matthew Crooks while speaking at a rally. One innocent American, Corey Comperatore, was murdered, and two others were critically wounded.
September 15, 2024 – Trump International Golf Club in Florida: Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested with a rifle after allegedly staking out the course where Trump was golfing.
February 2026 – Mar-a-Lago: An armed intruder was shot and killed by the Secret Service after breaching the grounds.
April 25, 2026 – Last night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Shots were fired, chaos erupted, and Trump, Melania, Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others were evacuated as a man with multiple weapons charged a security checkpoint.
This is at least the third confirmed attempt since 2024 – and the radical left’s reaction? A Wisconsin brewery owner crying into his beer that it failed.
The Gateway Pundit has been warning for years that the unhinged, violent rhetoric coming from Democrats, their media allies, and their deep-pocketed donors was going to get someone killed. Last night proved once again how close we came.
Kirk Bangstad and Minocqua Brewing Company aren’t just exercising “free speech.” They are profiting off the very real attempts to murder the sitting President of the United States while actively working to destroy him politically. Their Super PAC has raised millions to elect the very judges and politicians who protect this kind of toxic hate.
Enough is enough.
President Trump and his family – along with the brave men and women who serve in his administration – deserve better than this. America deserves better.
The left doesn’t want to beat Trump at the ballot box. They want him gone – permanently. And every time they fail, they get bolder and more unhinged.
Boycott Minocqua Brewing Company. Call them out. And demand that law enforcement look into whether this kind of public incitement crosses the line, and he should be charged for encouraging the cold-blooded murder of President Trump.
Because if the roles were reversed, the same media that attended the Correspondent’s Dinner would already be screaming for heads to roll.
This isn’t the Democrat brewery owner’s first brush with the law. In 2025, Kirk Bangstad (owner of Minocqua Brewing Company) and several customers were arrested outside the brewery. He was charged with harassment, bail jumping, and disorderly conduct. The incident stemmed from a long-running feud with Gregg Walker, publisher of the Lakeland Times (whose office is across the street). Bangstad claimed he was giving a “political speech” during a beer tasting when Walker walked out, and the crowd booed/yelled profanities at him.
