Overview
- Federal agents opened an inquiry and interviewed Kirk Bangstad after a Saturday Facebook post that talked about a “free beer day” if President Trump died.
- Bangstad livestreamed part of the agents’ visit and said he has made no threats against the president or vice president.
- The FBI and Secret Service confirmed a voluntary interview and said the follow-up is ongoing with no further comment.
- Fox News and Townhall report he posted a Secret Service agent’s phone number and urged followers to call and tell the agent to “stand down.”
- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin condemned the post, and Bangstad’s profile as a liberal PAC founder and his brewery’s “free beer day” merch have added to the public backlash.
