Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis encouraged people to continue boycotting Bud Light amid their promotion of transgender personality Dylan Mulvaney, as he said conservative consumers hold "power" to keep the company accountable. He also revealed his preferred alternative beer.
During an interview Monday evening with political commentator Benny Johnson, DeSantis said he would not be drinking Bud Light anymore as he did not wish to help enable "woke companies" and their goals of "trying to change our country, trying to change policy, [and] trying to change [the] culture."
"Why would you want to drink Bud Light? I mean like honestly, that’s like them rubbing our faces in it, and it’s like these companies that do this, if they never have any response, they are just gonna keep doing it," DeSantis told Johnson.
The Republican governor suggested conservatives do not have to sit on the sidelines on the issue, but they have "power" to hit the company where it hurts: their bottom line.
"So, if you as a consumer are like… ‘ yeah, they’re doing that, but I’m just gonna keep drinking it anyways,’ well, then they’re gonna keep doing it," the governor continued. "So I think we have power as consumers to make our voice heard, and not on every company because sometimes conservative consumers aren’t going to make a dent in some companies."
He added: "This one is one if you don’t have conservative beer drinkers, you’re gonna feel that and so you know."
The comments come as Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch are facing tremendous backlash after partnering with Mulvaney – a biological male who identifies as transgender.
The controversy began when the company celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood," by sending Mulvaney custom-made cans featuring the influencer's face.

Yuengling. It’s not only sold in FL now; it’s brewed in FL now, in Tampa.
BUD LIGHT, AS HORSE URINE, AIN’T BAD, BUT STILL A LITTLE - HATEFUL TO THE PALATE, NOW.
The GOP is Democrat lite.
The GOP is Democrat lite - 1/3 less spending.
Why would you have ever wanted to drink Bud Light?
The absolute bottom of the barrel.
No. Tone deaf
Anheuser-Busch is not woke. They let a tone deaf marketing director use a woke ad push
Tge customer base does not go for being told they’re wrong by their neighbor kids, their Brice’s friends, what pronoun to use, their wives, their in laws, football teams, lectures, mandatory videos at work
They invented man caves. For a reason
Budweiser put an influencer - a bossy, “you’re wrong, you’ve been wrong and you’d better change your language, your thinking, your attitude” into their mancave during the game
Horse urine or tranny urine?
Marlboro created a unique image. Could they now put him in a pink dress riding a cute little shetland pony.
They could ya.
Adults enjoy the privilege of knowing how to behave and what to think, what attitude to incorporate and adjust based on the company they choose to keep. In this culture they’re bombarded with bossiness. Grown men are told by younger people how to think
How do people continue to think men are ok with this? Or rather, why do people not care how men Feel and react to all this bossiness?
Uh oh, that will upset Trump.
Jr. said we should all start drinking Bud Light.
“The absolute bottom of the barrel.”
Um.... that would be vegemite.
Ok, now I can be accused of being an RDS cultist. His preferred beer is Guinness.
“Uh oh, that will upset Trump. Jr. said we should all start drinking Bud Light.”
Does it upset you that DeSantis is pro-abortion?
“Uh oh, that will upset Trump. Jr. said we should all start drinking Bud Light.”
Maybe he’s invested, why anyone would invest in adult beverages is beyond me. I saw a streaming commercial yesterday on cannabis farms in NY. Looked like a significant crime magnet.
I wonder if they hire security services?
I still can’t believe that I read that. WTF?
There’s more -——
“Ron DeSantis chooses Guinness over Bud Light. LOL”. (The makers of Guinness is one of the most aggressive pushers of trans ideology in the world). (Video)
