Our Responsibility To America (Anheuser-Busch Press Release)
Anheuser-Busch ^ | April 14, 2023 | Brendan Whitworth (Anheuser-Busch CEO)

Posted on 04/14/2023 12:39:19 PM PDT by House Atreides

As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.

We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.

We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.

My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.

I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.

Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.

Brendan Whitworth

CEO, Anheuser-Busch

A very large NOTHING BURGER. We are all still offended. I guess he doesn’t see the wrong that his company committed. Wow. I wonder if he as well was a Harvard graduate.

There was no apology in there at all. They intend to keep doing what they’re doing with regards to DEI.

Keep it up, everyone. If they have heard us, then they are tone deaf, or else it means they don’t GAS about what we think. To hell with AB.

This statement just proves that they are more afraid of the radical progressives than their own customers.

Our Responsibility To America??? They make alcohol/beer. What is this responsibility bull s**t?

The statement was 100% double talk and gibberish....Based on their evasive statement, the only thing this company thinks about is their bottom line.

It's how their marketing people can buy multimillion dollars penthouses' in NY. They won't be getting any more of my $$.

“We never intended to upset anyone. Please continue to enjoy our beer.”

That’s the gist of it.

Now that nobody is drinking his stinking beer anymore, this fruit-loving wacko is trying to find a way to get someone to drink his beer again.

Here's a background song for this thread...

We were discussing AB’s position over lunch today (and a couple Yuenglings).

They’ve really painted themselves into a corner. They can’t reclaim their customers without provoking the left. But it’s what they need to do. The portion of the left who care enough about sexual deviant “rights” to boycott them doesn’t even register on the scale compared to the actual customer base they’ve alienated.

The people who suffer will be their shareholders, employees, and distributors. Their competitors will thrive.

They are now the Get Woke Go Broke posterchild.

You are correct—Deep State clown:

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/cia-beer-brendan-whitworth-path-ceo-anheuser-busch

—CIA

—then Harvard Business School

—grandfather is FBI

He learned how to lie from the best.

Trust this guy as far as you can throw him—the Deep State is pushing this trans craziness.

This is not a coincidence.
