The mayor of Newport, Oregon, has been forced to step down after sharing a meme on Facebook which referred to Bud Light as “tranny fluid.”
Dean Sawyer, a former law enforcement officer, resigned from his position on Monday after Oregon Public Radio revealed that he had shared a number of memes that had been considered “offensive” in a private Facebook group.
The memes, which were shared in a group for current and former law enforcement officers called “LEO Only,” poked fun at transgender individuals, immigration, and other hot topics.
One such meme directly referenced the recent controversy with Bud Light and transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, showing a picture of a box of Bud Light captioned with the phrase: “I called AutoZone to order a case of tranny fluid and this is what I got.”
Since experiencing widespread controversy for parenting with influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April, Bud Light has suffered a significant drop in sales, with some weeks seeing a decline 31% over the previous year.
Another meme shared by Sawyer showed transgender swimmer Lia Thomas speaking in a post-race interview, with the meme implying Thomas had said “I won that woman’s swim race fair and square, if they don’t like it they can suck my dick.”
CM Hall, a city councillor and LGBTQ activist, said the memes were “punching down” and “further marginalising the marginalised” communities. “It’s contributing to harm and division,” she said, adding that she was “embarrassed by the Mayor’s hurtful online comments and mockery.”

“Does anybody remember “Laughter?”
If you are not Elon Musk or Donald Trump is there an upside to posting on Social Media ?
My thoughts exactly.
And they shouldn’t be.
It IS TRANNY fluid. There I said it!
Bingo!
Publicly apologize for the statement. Explain that it was misunderstood. Then unveil the revised version, which you explain was what you really meant:
Same words, but underlined and followed by 5 exclamation points.
The Left NEVER apologizes or resigns! NEVER!
This was a private FB group. No way he should have quit. This type of cowardice is why these sick creeps have gotten so much power
“Why did he quit?
You wait out tantrums by children.”
Yep. All of these people are spoiled children that never grew up.
Do we need cameras in our home so Big Brother can monitor us?
“This was a private FB group. No way he should have quit. This type of cowardice is why these sick creeps have gotten so much power”
Post of the day!
...but by Dylan Mulvaney’s own ad, it is tranny fluid.
Yes, he could refrain from making any such public comments while in office. It’s called professionalism, which has been lost in the last decade altogether (easy to lose with all these network “social media”).
But, OTOH, you know if he had made them before, he would be raked through the coals and would never be mayor at all.
I doesn’t matter about “private”.
All it takes is for you, a member of said “private” group, to forward that to your own “public” page for all to see. Then some self-conscious hyper busybody will get bent out of shape and tattle-tale.
Why would anyone step down for that?!
The whole purpose of ‘Trannies is to destroy womanhood and eliminate feminism. They are doing a good job.
WHY WHY WHY!!! Never apologize. Or do the democrat style non apology apology.
“I am sorry you have no sense of humor and don’t appreciate a good joke.”
Lol that’s a good one don’t let them run over you for a good joke
