by At a party last Friday before the Governor’s orders went into effect, Republican strategist Billy Grant had a party with fellow Minnesota GOP consultants. Attendees like Spencer Krier and Kip Christensen all appeared to have the same beverage in hand. Drink of choice? White Claw Variety pack.
Turns out Grant’s beverage of choice, which he quickly hid when our investigative reporter showed up, is actually the drink of choice by male Republican consultants in Minnesota when asked in a private phone survey conducted last week. 84% of respondents said White Claw Mango was their favorite adult beverage. Another 9% said Mike’s Hard Lemonade. The remaining 7% were a mix of answers that included craft beer, Leine’s Summer Shandy, vodka-red bull, and mommy’s milk.
Male Republican consultants in the state have a long history of cowering to the demands of Democrats on major policy issues. So it’s no surprise they turn to the low calorie, sweet tasting chick drink to take the edge off at night. Unfortunately, White Claw’s sales have seen a sudden decline in this market segment in the last week. Republican consultants are all obeying Governor Walz’ new order that outlaws social gatherings.
