GOP Quietly Backs Off Attacking Bud Light—Its Own Major Donor
Daily Beast ^ | April 15, 2023 | Zachary Petrizzo

Posted on 04/15/2023 12:27:01 PM PDT by Morgana

The National Republican Congressional Committee quietly deleted a fundraising page Saturday that took aim at one of their largest donors, the parent company of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch.

The NRCC’s back peddling follows conservatives calling for a boycott of the beer company after they partnered with transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney.

On Saturday morning, the powerful committee that provides support to Republican congressional campaigns blasted out a tweet calling for supporters to donate to the NRCC and, in exchange, be given a custom drink koozie.

“Thanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water,” the NRCC said in a since-deleted tweet that The Daily Beast reviewed and can be seen below. “With our new koozie’s, you can make sure no one confuses Bud Light with real beer ever again.”

But shortly after it was posted around 9:30 a.m., the tweet was taken down. Later on Saturday afternoon, the corresponding fundraising page was also nixed.

I don't know if this is true or not but I figures you all will know. More so after what Don Trump Jr said last night.

Good, that means we can boycott their crap WITHOUT having to donate money to the RNC.

More reason for people who actually drink beer to boycott it.

Hey guys, I think I found the problem.

The CEO of Budweiser is a CIA operative.

The Republican Establishment is selling out everyone who actually believes in good family values.

Makes me wonder if the RNC is all queers and trannies is all that does.

I don’t give a flying you-know-what who they donate to, why should anyone buy AB’s product if they support peversion and anti-family values? (I don’t buy their products anyway)

Did the GOP ever boycott it in the first place ? It was just regular people not wanting to buy creepy tranny beer.
Plus the owner gave a half-asset apology so I assume we won’t see that mental patient selling beer in any commercial

It is not the GOP doing this. It is the customer base. They are not doing it for political reasons. They are doing it because this Mulvaney character repels them and makes them want to buy another brand.

The VP of the Bud Light brand is a monumental idiot for this escapade. Well, she was already one but this just makes it worse.

Probably explains Don Jr calling for Repubs not to boycott.

No, I’m sorry, I’m no feminist, but their ad with the freak is a disgusting insult to women. Sorry Don JR. They effed up.
