Budweiser's new pro-America ad set Twitter ablaze over the weekend as critics derided the company for a misguided attempt at quelling the backlash over Bud Light's endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Budweiser's latest advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of the brand's famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.

...

The patriotic ad comes as Anheuser-Busch, which owns Budweiser, continues to deal with backlash over a partnership between another one of its popular brands, Bud Light, and Mulvaney. The partnership has caused a significant financial loss for the brand as calls to boycott the beer have spread across the country.

If you saw someone drinking a Bud Light wouldn’t YOU be embarrassed for them?

A lot of folks are now saying never again.
Anyone in the normal “blue collar “ crowd drinking that piss will be mocked publicly.
Love the horses, but this one commercial won’t fix a thing.

This has an opportunity to be a real thing.

What Bud needs to do is very publicly clean out the marketing group responsible and replace them with competent people who understand their customers.

Publicly, although I’m not sure how you reach everyone that was turned off before. Bad news travels faster and farther than a corporate apology.

I would have been embarrassed for them *before* this ad. Bud Light was and is horrible as a beer.

To prove that they go both ways, AB is thinking of using this person as their next "trans-can-man":

I would like to see Bud return to the business of marketing quality beers in good faith to Legacy Americans and normal people in the world that choose to drink beer.

Like you, I don't see Bud actually doing that.

I think a lot of beer drinkers know about this as those who ask fir a bud get teased as transla by their drinking pals.

Cuties was different. It was one offering among many that Netflix offers
