Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth responded to the Dylan Mulvaney, a trans activist, backlash with the usual long PR statement that says absolutely nothing:
“As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew. We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere,” Whitworth said. “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.””My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage. I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others. Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation,” he added.
The partnership blossomed as a celebration for Mulvaney making it 365 days as a girl.
Not a woman. A girl.
Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney has blown up. Kid Rock shot up a bunch of the beer. Singers John Rich and Travis Tritt denounced the partnership.
Fuzzy wrote about the boycott on April 9.
Then you have Kid Rock and Joe Rogan going off on those who don’t like the partnership.
Maybe it’s because you’re partnering with someone making a mockery of…everything. The dude couldn’t make it as a social media influencer, but then he put on a dress and BAM! Now he’s everywhere. He also cosplays as a six-year-old girl.
I can understand why a company wants to expand its consumer base. Capitalism, baby.
But come on. He’s also annoying.
