Follow the money: Kirk Bangstad and the Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC - Oct 9, 2021
News came from the Republican Party of Wisconsin last week — they were filing action with the Federal Elections Commission against Kirk Bangstad’s Minocqua Brewing Company Super PAC.
Why? Honestly, it’s not a surprise to me, and I think there’s at least a strong chance they’re onto something. Even if not outright illegal (the FEC will decide that) some of the Super PAC’s spending looks fishy at the least.
Bangstad has been a polarizing figure to say the least — criticism of him comes from the left almost as much as the right. He has his fans, to be sure; but plenty of critics, including many Democratic women, I found out in a recent Facebook thread.
Recently the MBC Super PAC came into the news for announcing it was planning class action lawsuits in federal court in both of Wisconsin’s districts, against Wisconsin School Boards that are not requiring masks.
That caused a backlash, and caused Republicans to look into the Super PAC’s spending. What the state party found, apparently, was enough to cause it to file a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission.

Do they sell pizza there too?
This guy has been a PITA for many years. However, he’s just doing what Socialist Democrats do - bending the rules to the point of breaking while skimming the foam off the top for themselves.
The beer is nothing to write home about, either. ;)
