Idaho Bar Owner Fights Back Against Alleged Death Threats Over ICE Offer – RedState
An Idaho bar owner is more excited than ever after saying he and his family received death threats because of his promotional offer of free beer to anyone helping ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) identify and ultimately deport illegal aliens amid anti-ICE protests across the country.
As RedState reported, the owner of the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, Mark Fitzpatrick, ignited a firestorm with a message to X, in which the ad read:
ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal immigrant from Idaho receives FREE beer FOR A MONTH at the Old State Saloon!

“ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal immigrant from Idaho gets a FREE beer FOR A MONTH at the Old State Saloon!” it read.
The post was published on November 29 and DHS republished it, drawing even more attention to the offer.

In response, Fitzpatrick said they had received death threats, telling Fox News the following:
“At the Old State Saloon, we are not in the habit of speaking boldly about conservative Christian values and truth and making the truth known,” Fitzpatrick said, adding that speaking out in a world of “deception” and “evil” causes people to get “really upset.”
“What the liberals want is to attack you,” he added. “They attack and start insulting you. People are outright saying I should die for this. It’s really, really despicable.”
“The way I look at it is they’re kind of revealing their evil to us in public and showing us who they are,” Fitzpatrick continued of the attacks and threats he said he received.

In several posts on Monday, Fitzpatrick responded to reports of alleged threats against him.
“Never surrender to lying liberals!” he wrote about an article. It was linked to a headline that read: “We’re not backing down: Pro-ICE Idaho Saloon owner undeterred by violent threats.” »

In another post, he shared a violent voicemail he said he received that is full of foul words.
In one part of the call, the person suggests that the homeowner do a personal experiment with a chainsaw.

Disjointed is the first word that comes to mind with these messages and posts. Hopefully all this negative attention only brings good things to his watering hole.
