Donald Trump Jr has called for an end to the boycott of Bud Light for their partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, emphasizing their conservative credentials and saying it was wrong to 'blame the whole company for the inaction or the stupidity of someone in a marketing campaign that got woke as hell.'
Bud Light has been engulfed in a firestorm since Mulvaney on April 1 revealed that the beer company had made a special commemorative can to celebrate her year since transitioning.
Kid Rock used Bud Light cans for target practice, country singers announced boycotts and factories owned by the company received bomb threats. The parent company, Anheuser-Busch, saw $6 billion wiped off its value.
Yet Trump Jr said he had researched Anheuser-Busch and saw they mainly donated to Republicans, and said his fellow conservatives sometimes had 'the tendency of — shooting first and aiming second.'
In the video, the former president's son pointed Anheuser-Busch's supporting Republicans including Ohio Senator JD Vance and Rep. Kevin McCarthy.

Where did I talk about the gop? I’m talking about conservative citizens
I am simply stating, that no matter what AB does now, even if they change 180 degrees, bud light dies. That section of the market will have to be regained by another of their products if they want it.
DEI is different than shoving a political view for a beer. I don’t support either, but Budweiser had always been apolitical until now. Huge mistake to go political.
You and others have every right not to buy a product from AB. That’s American. AB can go political, they can make choices too. They made a bad choice, IMHO, but they seem to think somehow now it can be fixed. I just don’t think it can be fixed for bud light. They have to rebuild with another brand, and it’s going to leave a mark.
WTF?
If they came out with a new Real Men of Genius ad, you would believe them? They won’t change their stripes. They showed us who they really are. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. I won’t trust them again.
Yeah, I saw this before I went to bed, and it was on my mind again this morning. I am appalled at the way companies are lining up to promote men in woman face, and act like it’s a good thing that they do so. In general, these fakers make me uncomfortable, but the high profile ones that parody women insult me to my bones. I cannot and wii not cater to their delusions.
Joe Paterno is an example of a man whose continued ambition as he entered the ranks of, shall we say, the “superannuated”, may, after so many decades of continuous pressure, have finally overtaken his ethics—something few would ever have predicted or expected, given his well-known preeminence in the latter category among major college football coaches.
Not that anything similar has happened in Trump’s case. But we should hope and pray that Trump does not follow in Paterno’s footsteps.
Non-NBCs like Don Jr. can think and say what they wish, but so can plain vanilla Americans.
Well, Jr, if you’re up for tranny fluid, go for it.
I think the Dylan Mulvaney/ Bud Light stint has awakened me to start checking companies that I do business with, so that if they are supportive of the degradation of real women, I want to cut my ties with them and find other places who deserve my money more.
It’s like me not wanting to purchase products made in China. It was cheap cr*p to begin with, and once they let the Wuhan flu out, I’m not in a mood to get along with them.
AB-InBev hasn’t learned the adage of “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” I feel like I am the proverbial scorned woman. Others may forget what AB has done, but not me. Dylan Mulvaney has single-handedly upped the game. I’m ready to take the trash out. That’s what these fakers are. Trash. They trash God, they trash themselves, they trash our communities. We need not coddle them.
Don Jr had better watch what he says. It won’t help his father.
I think Don Jr has made a big mistake putting money ahead of values. That’s what’s gotten us into this mess in the first place.
No when he had a big party at Mar Largo in December 2022 and had a gay wedding and spoke glowingly of the Gays.
BUD share prices peaked in 2016 at $131 and has been on a downward trend since then. BUD is currently trading at $64.
As Steve Bannon says: “We are hearing the primal scream of a dying regime”.
BUD appears to want to hasten its demise by promoting the trans agenda.
BUD reminds me of Bed Bath Beyond who was in financial trouble and then put the nail in their coffin by banning MY PILLOW from their stores.
He’s always been ultra pro-LGBT.
You believe that? You’ve been trolled.
Was fully supported by Donald J Trump.
Jus' sayin' ...
Point well taken.
In their hearts they are NY Rockefeller Republicans at best.
