'The horse has already bolted!' Budweiser is slammed for back-to-basics patriotic Clydesdale ad released two weeks after Bud Light debacle - and following CEO's lukewarm apology
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 16, 2023 | Sophie Mann

Budweiser has released a patriotic new ad featuring its iconic Clydesdale horses just two weeks after Dylan Mulvaney's Bud Light deal sparked a huge backlash, but the public is not biting the bit.

The one-minute spot was released on social media Friday and features shots of the iconic Clydesdales galloping across the country, in open fields, and past landmarks including the Lincoln Memorial and the New York City skyline.

A deep-voiced narrator says that Budweiser is 'a story bigger than beer' as the horses race across the screen.

'This is the story of the American spirit,' he says.

The ad for the beer - which like Bud Light is also owned by Anheuser-Busch appears to be a pivot to return to traditional values for the brand which historically appeals to blue-collar American workers.

This is in stark difference to Bud Light's doomed partnership with trans influencer Mulvaney - which ended in a lukewarm apology from the firm's CEO.

However, online, users slammed the ad as a pathetic attempt to right the ship that was permanently sent in the wrong direction with the Mulvaney partnership.

'My favorite advertisement by a mile was the Clydesdales after 9/11. It was absolute perfection. After your embrace of the trans agenda, glorifying a man looking for his 15 mins of fame by mocking women. I will never buy, drink or serve your beer again,' wrote one user.

'Is the horse trans now?' wrote radio host Dan O'Donnell.

'Nope, you guys destroyed your own base and market because you had to go woke. I'll never drink any of your products again,' wrote Brandon Saario.

'Lol, hard pivot huh?' wrote Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party.

“I did not see an apology“

That’s because there wasn’t one. What they issued was an insulting non apology by committee. All it did was prove they are terrified of the LBGT mob.

Not only was there no apology but the marketing exec who was the brainchild behind this debacle is still employed there.

Which tells you all you need to know about how "sorry" they are.

“””Budweiser has released a patriotic new ad featuring its iconic Clydesdale horse”””


BUD management is so incompetent.

First they do an ad featuring a transexual in hopes of luring the wokesters to their beer.

Next they do a patriotic ad and we know the wokesters do not have patriotic values.

So first BUD ticks off the patriotic Americans and then they tick off the wokesters.

I also doubt he’s trans, because nobody is. I’d agree with you if you meant he’s not actually suffering from gender dysphoria

His "work" is insulting.

I have not, and will not, ever vote for Trump jr. for anything.

Sr. said that everything woke turns to schiff. That is something I totally agree with and will vote for in a second.

They might want to try an ad featuring their woke VP of marketing - in the “Real women of genious” category, but more bitingly sarcastic than usual.

You don’t hear deep voices narrators very much anymore. In fact in commercials involving a male and a female interacting the male is often talking up in his head and the female is talking down in her chest . Commercials for “click it or ticket” or pickup trucks you might hear a baritone.

This has become “evil vs. the heart of America”...and the true America is finally calling BS, because “kids represent the red line, you insist on crossing it”. Then an iconic brand that was losing to the evolving market because it was sh*t beer, in comparison, decides to ‘evolve’ into a ‘more than enlightened product’ that offends the ‘basis of existence’ respective to your BASE customers....a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e..g.e.n.i.us..

The biggest lie you can possible tell...”we can change a boy into a girl”, yet this is what we’re being FORCED to agree with. If you’re parent and you disagree, well, the STATE is suggesting you’re not a good parent. This ‘transition process’ should be withheld from you because “we decide you’re a luddite and the State knows better”.

When you have an *absolute* statistic, you have a truth. The simple statistic is - how many ‘trans-women, if they’re *really!* women, have EVER become pregnant.’. This not the same as ‘trans-men’...whom are just females taking hormones, they’ll NEVER have a real penis.

And men don’t want to date ‘trans-women’. Wow...who could’ve seen that coming? You know you’re a ‘bigot’ if you don’t want to. I guess having a family isn’t ever important...can somebody explain otherwise?

Do lesbians want to date ‘trans-women’? Nope.

How about gay men? Nope.

Bigotry!! Transphobia!!!

So all these kids will be left with, as a human being, is the inability to have children (sterility), and reduce the chance of having a lifelong partner to as close to zero as is possible.

This is the most evil thing I could comprehend. It literally strips a human being out from being a human being. You’re left with nothing meaningful in life. Yet I’m supposed to “affirm kids choices” otherwise I’m committing ‘trans-genocide’. WTF?

This is the new Nazism. You cannot argue with the State narrative and people, our KIDS, are being harmed.

SATAN is laughing uncontrollably. It’s also global. When will we realize this is real-time Biblical?

BOYCOTT ALL AB PRODUCTS AND DON’T LET UP!

I wonder how the career of the woman behind all of this is faring. She will figure prominently in Business school case books for 100 years. Her resume will have to be printed on asbestos.
