Minocqua Brewing Company's Post regarding an executive at Aspirus Health in WI, being fired [View all]

We just heard that an executive at Aspirus Health in #wausau, WI, was fired because he wore one of our FDT t-shirts at a football game in Indiana.
Let’s be honest, he wasn’t fired for wearing that t-shirt, he was fired because a hate group called Libs of Tik Tock posted his picture on their site, and then a wild world of Russian bots and MAGA mouth-breathers descended on Aspirus’ social media accounts and demanded that he be fired.
From the story released by News 9 WAOW last night, Aspirus’ CEO couldn’t take the heat and instead of waiting 24 hours for the Russian bots to go to sleep, he decided to throw a committed longtime nonprofit healthcare leader under the bus.
