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.

They decided to jump into a very sensitive and controversial issue and picked a side - the wrong side.They decided to shove this garbage down their customers' throats, and it went wrong like bad beer.

Shows either a complete lack of understanding of their customers, or a complete disrespect for the sentiments of their customers. They chose Woke activism over good business decisions.

It is a statement. Not an apology.

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

He just wanted to keep AB's HRC Foundation's Corporate Equality Index high.

Stale, low quality beer can be used to trap snails.

Let’s say all the young folks are politically down with trannies, 100%. And let’s say they’re the only beer drinkers that matter. Why didn’t the women in the marketing department (which they oddly dominate) get offended by Dylan Mulvany’s schtick? It was a very demeaning portrait of womenhood. Let’s face it, beer-drinking women are (largely) the ones who watch March Madness with the boys. Why say to NCAA fans that you have no idea what sport they’re watching?

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

That’s obama’s job.

Can’t tell whether you’re saying that in reference to the fact that the CIA (for some reason) took over Budweiser/ImBev.

Three things maybe you could do to stop the bleeding.

1) Fire Alissa Heinerscheid, the vice president of marketing.

2) Put a notice on all future cans stating that "Transgenderism is a mental illness for which help should be sought."

3) Donate 1 penny of profit for each can sold to the Disabled American Veterans. Commitment to item three should be no less than 20 years.

Then, maybe then we will reconsider your product.

An excellent synopsis. This so-called apology and the arrogance of that marketing VP nearly eclipse the display of Mulvaney in revulsion.

Not an apology. Fire Mulvaney and the woman who hired him.

BOYCOTT

I’m getting really really SICK AND TIRED of EVERYTHING Pervert. Perverts are everywhere and involved in everything. You can’t turn around without having Perverts and their mentally ill perversions stuffed in our faces.

The ENTIRE board of AB and EVERY senior executive needs FIRED Now! Won’t happen because all the perverts will rally around them. Maybe AB should have the Pervert in Chief Joey Crappy Pants Biden come their rescue. Another beer summit? Not with any AB Piss Beer Products. Go to Hell AB!

It’s not even a statement. A statement would address the controversy.

No doubt the bomb threats were coming from their own workers who didn’t want to report in to work that day.
