When the CEO of Anheuser-Busch interviews prospective recruits to the world's biggest brewing conglomerate, he has a favorite question.
'Tell me about a time that you didn't succeed or things didn't go as planned,' he likes to ask.
If Brendan Whitworth ever finds himself asked the same question, he now has plenty of material to draw on.
Whitworth, 46, has seen his biggest brand - Bud Light - engulfed in a firestorm of controversy since they teamed up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on April 1.
Mulvaney was issued with her own special-edition can of the beer to mark her year of transitioning from male to female: a move that enraged Bud Light drinkers, and saw $6 billion knocked off the value of Anheuser-Busch. Factories across the United States were even hit with bomb threats amid the furore.
Whitworth on Friday issued a statement declaring: 'We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.
'We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.'
The decision to team up with Mulvaney was reportedly made by a low-level marketing executive, but that has not stopped Whitworth and his vice president of marketing for Bud Light, Alissa Heinerscheid, from facing a torrent of criticism.
Yet few are better positioned to draw on a lifetime of challenging situations than Whitworth - an 'all American hero' and trainee doctor who joined the Marines - where he was a star athlete - and the CIA, recruiting and handling spies across the Middle East, before going to Harvard Business School.

Unabashed fools are running the world’s largest companies.
The CIA pumped a lot of money into awful modern art back in the 50s-60s in their war against Soviets. I suspect the CIA is currently pumping a lot of money into LGBT(whatever) propaganda in their war against Christianity.
That is exactly right. He could’ve made a statement that would have subdued the customers they offended, but this release is nothing more than shut up and drink your horse piss swill and enjoy it.
So the woke joke bud beer with a new taste of desperation.
A “low level marketing executive” put someone’s face on the can?
This is laughable.
Trying to comply with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) bites company in the Rear, film at 11........
This is the deep state protecting itself.
“telling me someone was in the CIA doesn’t exactly make me trust them.”
You betcha! Ollie North and William P Barr are examples of compromised men who I don’t and never will trust!
A clear example of:
The Law of Unintended Consequences, which states that actions of people—and especially of government—always have effects that are unanticipated or "unintended." It was popularized by American sociologist Robert K. Merton in the twentieth century and can be grouped into three types: impulsive, unintended, and unexpected.
Clearly all 3 types were in play here!!!!!
Why not try to pick a real woman, like oh I don't know, the one that tied Lia Thomas, but Lia Thomas was given the trophy, and honor her, Riley Gaines.
The CEO is probably a RINO too.
The CIA is fomenting social crisis in like manner all over the USA (and world) at the behest of their luciferian globalist masters. This was apparently a failed op and I bet they double down on stupid.
Total lack of leadership - just weak all around.
Yep, CIA = “professional liar, possible sociopath”.
‘“Out of Touch” comes to mind.’
There’s this right wing Aussie youtuber I watch who likes to collect all the crazy stuff libs do for his weekly review. He uses Hall & Oates “Out of Touch” as his intro music.
Has he fired the hesheit? Apologized? Then his values are warped
A “low level executive” they still refuse to name, and probably have not fired.
Don’t think that limited hangout is going to work very well for them.
Sounds like a typical “Deep State Operative” career path to me.
‘trainee doctor” he dropped ouut of Bucknell where they have excellent scinced but not on doctor trainee course. Another lie. On my sister went to Bucknell and then went to George Washington for her medical degree.
How about the time you thought you'd get away with using a filthy queer female-impersonator in your advertising campaign?
CIA and Harvard LOL, LOL, OMG and THIS is supposed to deserve forgiveness for your LYING ASS!! Nice try!!!
And then he went homo.
