Country music star John Rich has joined Travis Tritt and Kid Rock in boycotting Bud Light as the controversy over the beer giant retaining trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney as an ambassador rages on.
During an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday, Rich confirmed that he was removing the beer from this Nashville bar, Redneck Riviera.
'The customers decide. Customers are king. I own a bar in downtown Nashville. Our number one selling beer up until a few days ago was what? Bud Light. We got cases and cases and cases of it sitting back there.'
'But in the past several days you're hard-pressed to find anyone ordering one. So as a business owner, I go, hey if you aren't ordering it, we got to put something else in here. At the end of the day, that's capitalism. That's how it works,' he added.
The popular beer brand's partnership with the influencer in recent days sparked a wave of outrage among conservative social media personalities, who attacked the company for supposedly turning to 'woke' advertising.
Mulvaney, who is known for her popular series, on TikTok documenting her gender transition, first posted a sponsored Instagram reel on Saturday coinciding with the final days of the NCAA's March Madness tournament.
In the video, Mulvaney cracks open a regular can of Bud Light, chats about March Madness, promotes a Bud Light contest and says that the brand had also sent her a special can with her face on it to celebrate the year anniversary of documenting her transition.
Country musician Kid Rock soon chimed in, posting a video of him wearing a 'MAGA' hat while shooting a rifle at packs of Bud Light. He was joined by Travis Tritt in boycotting the brand over the post.

Yep...and the left thinks their power is in boycotting (canceling) companies. Their power is microscopic compared to the right - WHEN we actually do boycott.
I think the intersection of this and the trans-shooter happening close together is what broke the camel’s back. We’re sick of it all...and now they won’t stop coming after the kids. It’s a line you do not cross. You are not going to harm our children AND do it behind our backs.
He should do a public event pouring it on the ground.
BuTT Light
will the frogs be back with

Bars and restaurants could just offer it for free if Bud won’t take it back.
But I’ll bet they can’t even give it away.
What guy would want to drink it, they say it makes you ovulate.
“we got cases and cases and cases of it sitting back there.’”
kid rock could probably use a few more targets ...
Kid Rock could recycle the cans even with holes, maybe get enough to buy more ammo.
Maybe not for free, gotta get some $$ back. Offer a BOGO deal.
Miller Lite at least has flavor

Maybe they can get some money for the cans. I hear aluminum is in short supply.
You gonna drink that bilge after this?
Naw it’s an investment.
We can fight back...
