Leftists melt down after Idaho bar announces month of free beer if you help ICE find, deport illegal aliens



The Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, achieved national prominence last year when it launched what it deemed "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month."

The punch line? The plucky watering hole chose June for its 30 days of celebrating all things straight — which, of course, immediately ignited fuses dangling from left-wing noggins given that June has long been Pride Month and all.

'WE ARE PLANNING A HUGE PROTEST THIS WEEKEND AT UR POS SALOON! GOD DOESN'T LIKE UGLY AND Y'ALL GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!'

Well, the Old State Saloon once again is managing to poke at the left — this time offering free beer for a month to all those who help Immigration and Customs Enforcement capture and deport illegal immigrants.

The bar's Saturday X post reads, "ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!"

On the same day, the Department of Homeland Security reposted the saloon’s offer with a humorous GIF underscoring how floored the agency is with the promotion helping its cause — and the repost has received a whopping 3.7 million views. The Old State Saloon replied, "Let's go! Deport them all!"

Part of the deal, however, is that those who want to claim the month-long sudsy prize must "send a detailed email with any evidence, photos, videos, summary of events, dates, and times" to deportations@oldstatesaloon.com.

One person asked the bar, "Hold up! Is there a limit per month? Limit on months?" Old State replied, "2/day for one month" and "at our discretion, may award multiple months to one person if multiple illegals are deported."

The bar on Sunday announced its "first big winner" of the free beer offer: Ryan Spoon, vice chair of the Ada County Republican Central Committee in Idaho. Spoon told Newsweek he "had a free Moon Dog Amber Ale" and "a great chat with the owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, whom I also consider a friend."

More from the magazine:

Spoon previously made headlines when he publicly called for immigration raids on state Representative Stephanie Mickelsen's farm, alleging the employment of undocumented workers. Days later, immigration agents visited Mickelsen Farms, leading to the arrest of one employee.

With all the attention the bar's offer of free beer is generating, it should come as no surprise that a wave of left-wing backlash has been quickly growing.

But the Old State Saloon isn't backing down from any of it — in fact, the bar is reposting on its X page the nasty feedback it has been receiving. The missives range from what clearly are fake one-star reviews — aimed at lowering the bar's average customer scores — to some interestingly worded threats.

One of them read: "I hope you get swatted like all the sad little MAGAT bitches who think they're doing something right. You're not, you racist piece of s**t. I'll be dancing a jig in a week when your busted-up s**thole is closed forever. Maybe I'll stop by first [to] see if a cleansing fire might be the ticket."

"U RACIST ASSHOLES!" another message read. "WE ARE PLANNING A HUGE PROTEST THIS WEEKEND AT UR POS SALOON! GOD DOESN'T LIKE UGLY AND Y'ALL GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL! BITCHES."

Old State offered the following reply: "You better hurry up because according to all your criminal friends, Old State Saloon will be burned down by then! Let's be real: You aren't going to do anything. But you sounded pretty tough for a minute there."

What's more, on the day after the launch of the free beer campaign, Old State actually took things to another level, noting that the month of December is now "Merry Snitchmas" and a collection of new specials is on tap: "Manly American Mondays — all American citizen males who support ICE get one free beer! Ladies’ 'I’m Telling' Tuesdays — BOGO for American woman willing to tell ICE about any illegals, to get them deported. Wednesday: American heterosexual couples get 10% off their entire bill. Get married and make American babies, if at all possible!"

'Heterosexual Awesomeness Month' underway at Idaho saloon — and minds are exploding across the fruited plain



Word is rapidly spreading about the Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, which has dubbed June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month."

But as you can imagine, leftists aren't too happy that the bar encroached on sacred temporal territory, given that June has been claimed for Pride Month and all.

'This is horridly disappointing. I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities.'

Here's how the Old State announced its monthlong celebration last week on Facebook:

"une will be OSS’s inaugural Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here! Each Monday will be Hetero Male Monday, and any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male will receive a free draft beer. Each Wednesday is Heterosexual couples day, and each heterosexual couple will receive 15% off their bill. More events to be announced in the coming weeks. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to stay informed.

Old State also put the word out Friday that it's "seeking a perfect judge for Mondays in June to determine if men's chosen clothing is officially heterosexual. The pay is $15/hr plus free beer. If you think you have what it takes to determine straight threads, send an email with qualifications to: heteroclothingpro@oldstatesaloon.com. Thank you!"

'Blatant attack against the queer community'

While a number of commenters under Old State's "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month" Facebook announcement absolutely love it, not everybody's a fan. A few examples:

  • "This is horridly disappointing. I can handle differing political views. I CANNOT handle bigotry and hate towards marginalized communities," one commenter wrote in part. "Many of the people in my karaoke group are LGBTQ+. They now do not feel safe among your staff or patrons. Spin it however you think you can, but this is a blatant attack against the queer community."
  • "Every day is hetero day," another commenter argued. "They're not a marginalized group, they're the norm. I don't care if you are glad you're straight but pointing out your hetersexuality during gay pride month is an affront, is othering and creates separation and discord."
  • "Perpetuating mundane and outdated norms just to please your simple pea sized egos and brains is actually really depressing!" another commenter wrote. "Expand your mind, let go of your 'straight' pride and love yourselves and embrace reality."

Amid all that was the following gem: "I support heterosexual people but idk why they have to shove it on our faces. Do that in the privacy of your own home."

What's more, it took an Idaho Statesman op-ed writer only a day to respond to Old State's announcement with a piece titled, "Free beer for straight men! Eagle bar’s ‘Hetero Month’ puts ‘trans’ in transparent bigotry."

Writer Michael Deeds ripped the bar's monthlong promotion to shreds, calling it "thinly veiled hate." He added that "this marketing gimmick is an insecure reaction to LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the annual celebration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride in June."

Old State answers back

The saloon didn't shrink back from the dust-up, posting the following message Friday: "We hear lots of people are upset about Heterosexual Awesomeness Month! Please know: 1) We love our LGBTQ+ patrons! 2) We will not be changing our mind and give into the group of those who are responding with vitriol. 3) ALL are welcome to come celebrate heterosexuality with us in June!"

Old State added in the same post that Thursdays this month will feature "Her Hetero Happy Hour," meaning that happy hour prices are in effect for heterosexual females all day. Oh, and "Hetero Awesomeness T-shirts" are coming soon, too.
