Anheuser-Busch exec offers flat apology following Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney backlash

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.

And queers.

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.

That's the idea, to push this right into our faces.

Anybody who would watch those ads and say all is forgiven wasn’t really offended in the first place.

Yup—JC Penney back-tracked in a hurry after their “two mommies” catalog.

But—the damage had been done.

Their reputation as a family company was gone—can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

A “flat apology “ is a weak apology? It used to be, up until I read this story, that a “flat apology” was an absolute 100 percent no weasel words apology. The way language morphs it’s a wonder anybody can understand anybody else.

That is good to hear. There is a lot of corporate activism going on, disrespecting their customers.

If we all focus on a specific company to boycott, we will be successful. We should not try to boycott a whole bunch of them, which is what they would like us to do because they know that will fail quickly. We just have to be persistent. Don't listen to the chamber of commerce trolls who tell everyone that boycotts don't work.

America is being made to look very bad by the irresponsible gender related treatment protocols being mandated in our country right now. American businesses like this beer company will be suffering as a result as the rest of the world pivots away.

Hopefully these guys will mend their ways and not be so quick to jump on the bandwagon in the future.

Vague, bland and generic, just like the beer.

With new facism, they will be rewarded. On the government team.

Causes headaches.

Brendan Whitworth, Real man of genius.

Somebody please make him into a meme for me.

He avoided any mention Mulvaney.
Nothing will change until he takes a stand.

Oops, my bad. Didn’t mean to post twice on the thread.

I’m not even sure that if Bud Light were fed to steers that they would produce wagyu, but short of just dumping it, we have to think of ways the remaining inventory cannot be wasted.

It's basically water. Open the vats, let the fizz go out of it, filter the Clydesdale piss out of it and use it to brew real beer.

Weasel words from corporate cucks.

Apology accepted CEO Whitworth

Hey, you hire the wrong people, you pay for it.

[Qwapisking]

So sorry for you budweiser but you’ve already spent millions in “bud money” to bleed natural women of their “natural right” to enjoy womenhood by aiding in “women’s appropriation”. And the leftist radicals complain about cultural appropriation? How tone deaf is that?

Translation: DROP DEAD, NORMAL AMERICANS!

Who did you fire, Anheuser-Busch? NO ONE!
