A couple was reportedly assaulted outside of a liquor store after being confronted by a group of men over their suspected purchase of Bud Light beer, police suspect.

York Regional Police said in an official statement that a couple was accosted by a group of three men after leaving a liquor store located on Jane Street and Major Mackenzie Drive West, allegedly targeting the 26-year-old male victim's supposed purchase of Bud Light and using various homophobic insults.

When one of the men approached the male victim, the female victim, 27, tried to step between them and keep the situation from escalating, at which point the suspect physically assaulted her. The two other men then got involved and the group began attacking both victims. The group of attackers fled the scene after a bystander intervened. The woman was brought to a nearby hospital for treatment of her injuries, while her partner sustained only minor injuries and did not require medical attention.

The Bud Light beer brand became a flashpoint of controversy amongst conservatives after its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, sent a commemorative Bud Light can to Dylan Mulvaney, a popular transgender social media influencer, to commemorate her 365-day transition to "girlhood". Despite the fact that the so-called "partnership" between the beer brand and Mulvaney only amounted to a short social media video, the reaction swiftly escalated, with conservatives threatening to boycott the brand and destroying cans of the product on video, while others allegedly called in bomb threats to Anheuser-Busch facilities

Bud Light is terrible beer, the AD campaign with Dylan Mulvany is one of the biggest blunders in corporate history, but there is no reason to beat up on the clueless.

Seriously, you can see how this goes down, a bud light purchaser comes out of the store and head to their car, someone in between makes a dumbass comment about Bud Light and its own at that point.

LOL!!!

Zero chance this actually happened. No names, no arrests, just some Leftists lying as they always do for attention.

Can a beer brand claim it is a victim, demand reparations or at least open up a crowdsource funding page? /s

Talking about the Ugly American, we export terrible beer to Canada, what do you expect when people buy it up there.

You know what, I say, “Good”

I hope the liberal false flag discourages others from buying Pervert Lite

If you can water down your product and sell it for the same price you’ll make more profit. Light means watered down.
