Kirk Bangstad, owner of the aforementioned brewery, plans to celebrate the death of the Republican legislator who has been absent from the Senate since June 14, when he was hospitalized due to an unspecified medical condition.

"Well, folks, if our logic is correct, we should be getting the news today that 'Rigor Tortoise' kicked the bucket about two months ago. Why today? Because the so-called 'hero of the Democratic establishment' and current cowardly member of the do-nothing opposition party—Governor Andy Beshear—did not call a special election to replace the 'Kentucky ghost' before August 3, which means that, under Kentucky law, the seat will be vacant until January,” the controversial businessman wrote in a message shared on his company's official Instagram account.

Although the 84-year-old senator's office has issued several statements reiterating that his recovery is very advanced, so far he has not offered a single statement, despite the Kentucky governor's demand to offer a verbal explanation to the public, which Kirk Bangstad considers unacceptable.

"Thank you for letting them get away with it, Governor Beshear. As always, it seems that your very expensive advisors, paid by the interest groups that tell you what to do, decided that throwing a bone to the grassroots and holding McConnell's people accountable for lying to the American public was not a good strategy, so, once again, we are left wondering what has become of the rule of law," he said.

It should be noted that Minocqua Brewing Company faces the possibility of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue revoking the license under which it operates largely due to the scandal in which its owner was involved by promising to give away a day of his beer production when the current head of the nation died.
