Bar Will Shut Down to Avoid Serving Donald Trump’s Supporters During RNC
AMilwaukee bar owner plans to temporarily shutter his establishment during the Republican National Convention (RNC) this summer to avoid serving supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The RNC will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15 to 18. After Trump reached the 1,215 delegates required to clinch the GOP presidential nomination on Tuesday, delegates are expected to formally select the former president as the Republican Party’s nominee during the convention.
The Mothership, a cocktail bar on Logan Avenue in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, describes itself as a “stupid idiot booze dungeon” on Facebook and frequently shares colorful posts on the social media platform. While the convention is estimated to draw roughly 50,000 visitors to the city, the bar’s owner and operator Ricky Ramirez wants nothing to do with the crowd.
