Cooper was subsequently banned from speaking at the Democrat Party’s 8th Congressional District convention being held this weekend at UW-Green Bay.
After facing the severe blowback for the unhinged video, Cooper posted a TikTok video attempting to walk back the controversy, claiming he does not advocate violence while still calling for Trump’s impeachment on “day one” in office.
The original campaign post included imagery of Cooper firing at Trump-themed targets.

In the damage-control video posted to social media, Cooper begins by singing “Faithfully” by Journey.
“There are some things I said online last week… I do not advocate for violence. I condemn it… I don’t think that [the brewery] is entirely in the wrong by saying I’ll feel some relief when this president’s term is over… I wasn’t wishing [violence]. There’s a big difference… I want him gone… I am one of the fewest that I’ve seen advocating for his impeachment on a consistent basis.”
Cooper describes himself as an “openly proclaimed Satanist,” his campaign manager is also a trans-identified male, and the campaign is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
