Whoopi Goldberg today slammed Anheuser-Busch for backtracking on its Bud Light advertising campaign featuring trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

The View hosts claimed that the company's subsequent commercial for Budweiser using the famous Clydesdale horse galloping across the heartland was an attempt to to offer an apology to its outraged customer base.

'What are you so angry about? Beer does not have a - I mean, it's not a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn't have a belief system. It's just beer!' Whoopi said. The 67-year-old urged the brewer not to 'let them scare you' as she claimed America was not 'transphobic'.

Goldberg's co-host, progressive Sunny Hostin said it was offensive that the Clydesdale ad was presented in an attempt to ease some of the tension around the Mulvaney partnership.

'All of the sudden they get this backlash and their response is, 'Let's get the horses out!' And I was like, "Because horses are so much more American than trans people"', she said.

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth struck a conciliatory tone Friday as he put out a statement on behalf of the company that 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,' Whitworth wrote in an open letter published on the company’s Twitter account.

It referred to the company’s 'history and heritage' in 'America’s heartland,' but never mentioned Mulvaney or the backlash specifically.

Hostin told her View co-hosts that people have branded Bud Light an 'American beer,' despite the owner - Anheuser-Busch - being a Belgian company.

She railed against the United States, saying that 'this country is highly transphobic.'

Beer IS a value system.

[arthurus]

Beer doesn’t have a belief system, but beer drinkers do.

[Celtic Conservative]

“Beer doesn’t have a belief system”.

But the people who are responsible for its production do. And that belief system is inconsistent with its customers belief systems, to the point which they are no longer your customers. And then those responsible for its
production are out of business and unemployed. See how that works Whoopi the Hutt?

There are rapists who are Americans too. Doesn’t mean I want to see them advertising beer (and sports bras)!

[Secret Agent Man]

No one buys anything they are doing, we all know its for money, not anything else.

Now I really hope the entire company goes under. They are just smarmy.

Back in my day…if a freak like that Dylan was seen in a bar drinking a beer, he would have “politely” been shown the door!
