The owners of a brewery in North Carolina shut down a drag show intended to raise funds for illegal aliens after allegedly receiving death threats.

Teri Lippy said they contacted law enforcement but could not determine whether the threats were credible, so they decided to stop the event to protect their employees.

‘They posted it everywhere, and people started harassing both us and the venue.’

The “Drag Brunch for a Cause” program had been scheduled for Sunday at Eleven Lakes Brewing in Cornelius until critics campaigned to stop the event.

The drag show was described as a family-friendly fundraiser for the Carolina Migrant Network, a nonprofit group that provides legal services to illegal aliens for free.

About 100 tickets had been sold for the event before it was posted to social media by the popular account “Libs of TikTok.”

“Eleven Lakes Brewing, a business in North Carolina, is hosting an ‘all-ages’ drag queen show to raise money for illegal aliens,” the account wrote on the X platform. “Yes, this is real. They want to groom your children while donating money to fund foreign criminal invaders. Would be a shame if they went viral!”

Melissa Easley, who works with the event’s lead sponsor, implied that the threats were tied to the Libs of TikTok post.

“They started advertising it as a children’s drag event,” Easley said about the campaign. “They posted it everywhere, and people started harassing both us and the venue.”

Lippy claimed that critics had twisted the meaning of the event and said that parents could bring in children without paying for an extra ticket.

“Nice brewery. Looks like it would burn down easy,” was one threat she says they received via email.

“All of a sudden, physical and death threats started coming to both the venue and us,” Easley added.

Easley remains defiant, however.

“They may have won this battle, but we’re not going away,” she said. “We are regrouping, and this event will happen.”

Michigan Democrats are finding themselves in a bit of an uncomfortable spot after Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s ties to far-left activist and streamer Hasan Piker are becoming a growing issue in the general election campaign.

At a recent campaign event for El-Sayed, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) pleaded with reporters to stop focusing on Piker and instead discuss El-Sayed’s candidacy, insisting Republicans were using the controversy to divide Democrats.

“I’m done,” Dingell said. “This election is about what’s going to happen when we elect Abdul to the United States Senate.”

“So don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker; it’s not what November is about,” she continued.

“Republicans are trying to make it, they’re trying to divide us, and we got to stop letting them try to divide us. I don’t agree with Hasan Piker on a lot of stuff, and I really don’t agree with him on some of the woman things he said,” she added.

“Nice try,” executive producer Keith Malinak says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “No, he’s yours. Own him.”

“He got El-Sayed through the primary, and now they want to disown him for the general. No,” Malinak continues, “No, he’s yours.”

“Also, you got in bed with the DSA,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray chimes in. “You got in bed with Hasan Piker. I’m sorry. We’re not the ones dividing you. You did this to yourself.”

“This is the best thing that’s ever happened to Republicans,” he adds.
