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.

Don Jr. should have completely avoided this subject.
Big, big mistake.
Money. The opiate of politics
There is a story here saying Gillette didn’t feel much pain from their crazy ad.
Time will tell.
SORRY Don Jr. NO WAY!! This is not about money OR donations this IS ABOUT the culture of our nation!!
It’s not a good idea to place money over principles. Looks like selling out.
I don’t drink beer. If I decide to I will not give a rats ass what the beer company does with the money I spend on their beer. None of my business. None of theirs what I do with mine.
apparently JR thinks we should all just shut up and support any company that gives support to the GOP regardless of whatever else they support, ie, like abortion, child labor, lgbtq in classrooms, blm, antifa etc etc etc-
————-
If we do that, ⬆️. we are now Democrats, not one bit of difference.
Remind me to never support Donnie Jr if he should jump into politics one day. He has no moral compass and is a closet democrat.
I wonder if anyone at Annheiser Busch shorted the stock before this ad campaign began
Do we have a typical politician? Priority issue above all others - contributions.
No thanks.
What is wrong here is donating money to the GOP to influence politicians should NEVER buy a license to undermine morality, family values, or to greenlight perversion.
Don Jr. apparently does not accept the pure evil of Satan throwing money around to secure a pass permitting all manner of wickedness.
Jesus was shown and offered the entire world by Satan to bow down and worship him. Satan was rebuffed by the Son of God with his firm “get thee behind me.”
Don Jr. is falling into the same snare as many corrupt politicians who surrender their principles for donations.
Morality, God’s commandments and Christian faith MUST NOT BE FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE.
It’s a Transwagon now.
So its all about the money.
Ugh. Wow. Very sad to see this.
Sellout for $$.
Moral decay does have an acceptable price I guess.
Amen.
Disappear Clueless Spoiled rotten Nepo brat and get a real job .
Stop killing innocent wild life on safaris.
He thinks anyone cares what a Learjet NY lib carpetbagger thinks .
Obviously owns stock .
* Apologize for real
* True apology = change
* Republican does not = conservative
Some things said, once out of the mouth, can not be forgotten. It reveals a mindset. And the mindset I just witnessed from Jr blew 6 years of favorable impression right down the toilet.
Happy I know him better now.
