St Paul bar faces outrage over comedian’s remarks

A St Paul bar is under fire after booking comedian Ben Bankas, whose recent jokes about Renee Good’s tragic death sparked widespread anger. Many locals are calling for a boycott, arguing that mocking someone’s death isn’t just bad taste—it’s dehumanizing. The bar briefly removed Bankas’ shows from its website after backlash, but then quietly put them back up, leaving the community divided on how to respond. Some say protest is the answer, while others believe ignoring the act is more effective. Where do you stand—should businesses be held accountable for who they host, or is it better to let controversy fade? #Entertainment #StPaul #Community
