A Oshkosh, Wisconsin bar owner who hosted an interview with Don “Lucky Sperm” Trump, Jr. back in March is now in an ICU thanks to the coronavirus, and now he wants to take it out on President Trump, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 64-year-old Mark Schultz, co-owner of Oblio’s, said he had three rules if you were going to drink at his bar: Don’t talk about politics. Don’t talk about religion. And don’t talk about someone’s wife.
But when Axios co-founder and Oshkosh native Jim VandeHei asked him to use the bar for a taped interview with Donald Trump Jr., Schultz couldn’t refuse a friend. “I wouldn’t have done it for anyone else,” he said of VandeHei. “I don’t like playing politics.”
Now Schultz publicly berates Trump and his policies in a series of videos and blog posts from his hospital bed. “This shit’s real. I want people to know that.”
“I just want to punch him,” Schultz said of Trump. “I always had to keep my politics to myself, but from where I’m sitting now? Those days are over. I shouldn’t be here.”
His videos cover a range of topics including his grievances against the president and calls on viewers to support efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and the Black Lives Matter movement. Especially, he calls on them to take the threat of the virus seriously.
Schultz agrees with Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers’ mask mandate, but he thinks the requirement limiting occupancy of restaurants and bars at 25% capacity is too much.
He feels, however, that Trump should have been more upfront with the public about the virus, not telling people to ignore the dangers. “I’m just frustrated with the president — the nonchalantness of this virus,” he said. “They should be afraid. It’s nothing to mess with.”
