Democrat-Owned Brewery Complains About Failed Trump Assassination Attempt With Twisted Promise To Customers
Minocqua Brewing Company, a craft-beer maker in Minocqua, Wisconsin, run by a Democrat activist, is facing fierce blowback after its social-media account appeared to mock a recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and reiterated an earlier pledge to offer free beer on the day of his death.
Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad (screenshot via Instagram)The company, owned by Kirk Bangstad - who ran as the Democrat nominee for Wisconsin’s 34th Assembly District in 2020 and founded an anti-Republican super PAC - posted on social media shortly after news of the latest attempt on the president. “Well, we almost got #freebeerday,” the post read, according to screenshots circulated online. “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.”
“Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens,” the post added.
The brewery had previously promised free beer “all day long, the day he dies,” in reference to Trump. The company also sells merchandise tied to the pledge, including T-shirts that read “I wish it was free beer day,” and markets itself as blending craft beer with radical progressive activism.
A spokesman for the Wisconsin Democrat Party condemned the post. “This rhetoric is completely unacceptable and should be retracted immediately,” Phil Shulman told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “We’re not afraid to call out this sort of inappropriate behavior no matter where it comes from—our GOP colleagues should learn to do the same.”
Republican officials and Trump allies denounced the comments as inflammatory, urging broader Democratic condemnation.
"Wisconsin Democrats are so sick in the head that an attempted murder is funny to them," Republican National Committee spokesperson Delanie Bomar told Fox News in a statement. "All Wisconsin Democrats, including Rebecca Cooke, must immediately condemn this disgusting behavior.”

This is deranged and beneath our state.
Wisconsin, let’s unite in rejecting this garbage.
The brewery’s post was later deleted, according to Beer Street Journal.
The latest assassination attempt against Trump unfolded Saturday evening at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner held at the Washington Hilton. U.S. law enforcement has identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old tutor, game developer, and Caltech graduate from Torrance, California. Allen allegedly attempted to breach a security checkpoint near the event’s screening area, opening fire and prompting return shots from the Secret Service. In a manifesto sent to family members minutes before the attack, Allen described himself as a “friendly federal assassin,” listed Trump administration officials as prioritized targets, and expressed deep hostility toward the president and his policies, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Report Claims Iranian Jet Bombed American Base In Kuwait At War's Start
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
Iranian attacks on US bases across the Middle East have caused far more damage than the Trump administration has publicly acknowledged, and an Iranian fighter jet was able to bomb at least one US base, NBC News reported on Saturday, citing unnamed US officials.
The administration has attempted to cover up the damage to US bases in the war, and has gone as far as requesting that Planet Labs and other satellite imagery companies black out war images, making it difficult to ascertain the damage.
The NBC report said that the Pentagon has also kept the information on the damage from Congress. “No one knows anything. And it’s not for lack of asking,” a Republican congressional aide told the outlet. “We have been asking for weeks and not getting specifics, even as the Pentagon is asking for a record high budget.”
Iranian missile and drone attacks have targeted US bases in seven Middle Eastern countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Jordan, and Qatar. US officials said that an Iranian F-5 fighter jet was able to bomb the US base at Camp Buehring in Kuwait despite it having air defenses, marking the first time in many years that an enemy fixed-wing aircraft struck a US military installation.
The US armed Iran with Northrop Grumman-made F-5 fighter jets before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and Iran has developed its own version of the aircraft, known as the HESA Kowsar.
Kuwait was also the site of a March 1 Iranian drone attack that killed six US Army Reserve soldiers and injured more than 20. The drone targeted a makeshift operations center in Port Shuaiba, and according to survivors of the attack who spoke to CBS News, the facility was unprotected despite claims from US War Secretary Pete Hegseth that the drone was able to “squirt” through air defenses.
The Pentagon has confirmed the deaths of at least 13 US soldiers and the injuries of more than 400 in the war. The bases across the region were mostly evacuated since they were so vulnerable to attack, something The New York Times previously reported.
“Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage,” the Times reported on March 25.
The NBC report said that the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain “sustained serious damage” and that other US bases in the country also suffered serious damage that is likely repairable.

— Nate Bear (@NateB_Panic) April 25, 2026The report also cited the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a Washington-based think tank, which said it assessed Iran hit more than 100 targets across 11 bases, and that the repairs would cost at least $5 billion, though the number doesn’t account for some of the radars, weapons systems, and other equipment that was destroyed.
