The Wisconsin bar owner who hosted the chummy Axios interview w/ Donald Trump Jr back in March now has Covid and wants to punch the President.

'I shouldn't be here': Oshkosh bar owner in ICU with COVID-19 blames Trump for out-of-control...
The owner of a beloved Oshkosh bar is in the ICU with COVID-19 and blames the president for an out-of-control pandemic that has infected his family.

1. Oh just shut up...

... and marinate in your Fascist stupidity.

[malaise]

8. Ditto - my paternal grandma used to say

Those who don't hear will feel.
Anyone who takes advice from the most ignorant president of all time deserves whatever comes his/her way.

2. It's like we've all said; until it hits them or a loved one...

[lagomorph777]

4. COVID doesn't give them a soul, but it does convert voters.

For now, maybe that's enough.

[Heartstrings]

3. Try punching RoJo and the rest of the useless WI gop

And, most of all, thank the tavern league, the almighty alcohol machine lobby!

[GusBob]

13. My first thought, there is plenty of blame to go around

did this guy advocate for reopening the bars?

5. It's a Schlitzmas miracle!

22. Brilliant, hahaha!!!

[Botany]

6. "I just want to punch him," Schultz said.

7. He should save some swings for the legislature and the state Supreme Court.

They are still going against a very responsible Tony Evers, killing Wisconsinites for a few rubles.

9. Too late smart.

[demmiblue]

10. I wish him well (people obviously didn't read the article, it is more complex). n/t

[GusBob]

19. I read the article and ya its complex

because the guy seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth
=no politics at the bar is one of his rules, but he hosts an Trump event, for a friend he claims
=evers is right with the safety rules but they are too restrictive and hurting his business

There is no mention of the Wisconsin GOP, Supreme court or tavern league whom are actually more responsible for his plight than Trump

there is no mention if he advocated for reopening the bars but his is closed now

11. Narcissists

Covid only matters to them if THEY get sick.

Useless toxic narcissists suck at being humans.

14. I read the article and he doesn't seem so bad

It’s a persuasive article, I thought.

[demmiblue]

20. Yeah, I don't get it.

He doesn't discuss his politics, but felt the need to give a fellow Oshkosh native a break:

In March, he hosted an event for Axios co-founder and Oshkosh native Jim VandeHei for a taped interview with Donald Trump Jr. but stayed in the back.

"I wouldn't have done it for anyone else," he said of VandeHei. "I don't like playing politics."

At Oblio's, Schultz said he has three simple rules before people can belly up to the bar: Don't talk about politics. Don't talk about religion. And don't talk about someone's wife.

The reactions are over the top, imo. But, then again, people are pretty much responding to the tweet, not the article.

[gratuitous]

15. Sounds like he's trying to make amends despite being really sick

I'm not going to be too hard on someone who misplaced his trust, but when he figured out his mistake, he changed his mind. That's what intelligent people do. The others stubbornly stay on the Trump Train even as it plunges into the gorge.

[Statistical]

23. Did he figure out his mistake? Seems like he is still a self entitled asshole just one with COVID

Schultz backs Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' mask mandate but doesn't agree with his order to require restaurants and bars like his to limit customers to 25% of their capacity. Schultz said business at both his bar and restaurant is down 60%.

"These people do not have a concept of running a business," he said. "It’s unbelievably hard right now. ... You're trying to keep people employed and now I got two places that are closed.

"These people are out of work right now. They’ve got families."

Schultz said Evers' orders are suggesting to the public that the problem is with the service industry: "They put too much blame on bars or restaurants."

16. The Tavern League of Wisconsin just overturned social distancing

Orders for our restaurants and bars yesterday. The Republicans and right wing leaning groups like this one (which has been right wing since forever), have done everything they could to thwart sane policies being put out by our Democratic Governor, Tony Evers.

This is exactly why Wisconsin is in the mess we’re in. We have a Republican virus that’s going to kill many of us.

[Yavin4]

17. I feel bad for the healthcare workers that have to treat his dumbass.

They should be able to opt out.

18. "But I never expected leopards to eat MY face!"

[durablend]

21. But one question...

Will you still vote for Trump anyway? Because "ick...omg..hell no...Biden"

[lostnfound]

24. Update: He seems to be recovering, off oxygen

I’m really glad. He has a 10 year old kid, don’t want anyone to lose their dad at that age.
