People in Nashville weighed in on Bud Light facing backlash for partnering with a trans influencer, with some saying the brand won’t be forgiven easily.
"I'm a Bud Light drinker and I don't drink it anymore as a result," one man, Rick, told Fox News. "I don't think I'll go back—not for a long time."
But Trudy said the anger toward the brand is "very overblown."
"That's not a reason not to drink a beer," she said. AMERICAN TELLS BUD LIGHT ‘TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE’
Bud Light remains embroiled in controversy after the brand sent transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a special pack of beer with her face on the can as part of an ad for the company's March Madness contest and to celebrate a year since she transitioned. Bud Light's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, lost $5 billion in value after news of the partnership led to nationwide calls to boycott the beer.
"I don't care if you're transgender or gay. Whatever you want to be is your right," a Nashville visitor, Anna Marie, said. "But my God, honor somebody who served in our military, a police officer, a fireman."
One man, Jason, said it was "the wrong move" by the brand, but "everyone making a big deal out of it has gotten them publicity that they don't pay for or deserve."
Several people said they were angry because it seemed like the company was making a political statement.

Budweiser, the Queen of Beers.
How much of its customers’ money is Blackrock pouring in to jack up AB’s stock price and take pressure off the CEO and marketing department?
Waste of breath.
Their stock prices aren’t relevant at this point. Let’s see how sales go over this and the next quarter and then see if they’re feeling any pain.
That is so blasphemous!
That is a good question!!
No more Budweiser, Stella, Corona, modelo
AB can go pound f’n sand!!
Gotta go w Yuengling now!!!
Our side NEEDS A SCALP and this one was handed to us on a silver platter. Anyone who claims to be on our side and says we should not be boycotting Bud Lite is NOT on our side.
Yep, NASCAR, MLB, NBA playoffs, Stanley Cup playoffs, all getting rolling and AB does this crap. It’s what they get for letting a Harvard graduate woman? Run things. Then NIKE does something similar and disrespects women. I’m not the brightest bulb on the string and I know better than to do this kinda 💩.
Try some real beer next time.
Americans tend to have short memories and conservatives are terrible at boycotts, we usually have better things to do than worry about some idiot's political posturing. This is a bit different though, people are getting tired and genuinely disgusted with men pretending to be women. We're tired of them forcing it on kids in the schools and we're tired of having that crap in our face with this effeminate little crossdresser. We're just tired of the BS, talk about tone deaf.
And President Trump silent, only sending son out to say no to the boycott. Weak and tone deaf
LOL, that’s a beauty.
I only steal from the best. < |:)~
