GOP Quietly Backs Off Attacking Bud Light—Its Own Major Donor

The National Republican Congressional Committee quietly deleted a fundraising page Saturday that took aim at one of their largest donors, the parent company of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch.

The NRCC’s backpedalling follows conservatives calling for a boycott of the beer company after they partnered with transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney.

On Saturday morning, the powerful committee that provides support to Republican congressional campaigns blasted out a tweet calling for supporters to donate to the NRCC and, in exchange, be given a custom drink koozie.

“Thanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water,” the NRCC said in a since-deleted tweet that The Daily Beast reviewed and can be seen below. “With our new koozie’s, you can make sure no one confuses Bud Light with real beer ever again.”

But shortly after it was posted around 9:30 a.m., the tweet was taken down. Later on Saturday afternoon, the corresponding fundraising page was also nixed.

How much money was given to the GOP by BUD executives versus how much money was given to the GOP by BUD workers?

I suspect the BUD executives gave a lot of money to the Democrats.

“We have no principles. We just want money.”

First The Daily Beast now Yahoo. A major effort to kill the boycott without them having to backpedal or fire the lefty VP that did this is underway.

That was my first reaction! These politicians don’t give a crap about the issues unless they can be on the side of their donors! It’s all about the money, not what is right. Right now...I am disgusted!
