Anheuser-Busch exec offers flat apology following Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney backlash
The New York Post ^ | April 14, 2023 | Ariel Zilber

Anheuser-Busch’s top executive on Friday offered an apology flatter than a day-old Bud Light as the beer giant reels from the backlash over its sponsorship deal with controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Brendan Whitworth said.

“We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”

Whitworth’s statement made no mention of the sponsorship deal with Mulvaney — which has led to calls for a boycott of the nation’s largest beer company.

He also didn’t address reports that senior executives were kept in the dark about the Mulvaney rollout.

”We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”

...and the po-lice and blacks have never been closer.

This is how you “apologize” when you are terrified of the alphabet mob

This is undoubtedly a statement written by a group of corporate affairs and legal employees, reviewed by 5 levels of management and then handed to the CEO. And instead of recognizing it’s complete gibberish and demanding a forthright statement, he ran with it.

If I were the board of directors I’d be firing the CEO, not specifically due to the issue but rather because it reveals a total lack of leadership, from start to finish.

The stock markets were down about a 1/3rd of a point, while AB stock was up about a 1/3rd. This country is truly drunk on being woke.

The executive’s comments come as the beer colossus has seen its market value plummet by some $5 billion since the campaign was launched April 1.

A $5 BILLION loss of market value in less than 2 weeks? I think we got their attention. I don’t think A-B, an in turn InBev, is going to recover from that for a while.

Yeah, this CEO is full of his own product. They all knew. This was approved at the highest level, esp. considering the extreme impact it’s had and this moron diversity executive is still employed.

"Budweiser factories nationwide have also reportedly been targeted by a wave
of bomb threats this week.

A spokesperson for the St. Louis-based beermaker told Patch that several other
facilities across the country also received bomb threats."

Ah yes, the old turnabout victim label using anonymous bomb threats.

Attach a free mask with each bottle and the Liberals would stock up. They are still driving alone with masks on.
