Trump Jr, GOP under fire for going soft on Bud Light boycotts: No interest in 'pushing back'
Fox News ^ | 04/17/2023 | Emma Colton | Fox News

Critics are slamming a powerful GOP committee and Donald Trump Jr. after apparent attempts to squelch widespread boycotts of Bud Light over its partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

Trump Jr. called for an end to the boycotts of the beer last week, citing how Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has a history of donating to Republicans. On Saturday, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) quietly deleted a tweet and fundraising page where people could donate money and receive a drink koozie, the Daily Beast reported Saturday.

"Thanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water," the NRCC said in the deleted tweet, according to the Daily Beast. "With our new [koozies], you can make sure no one confuses Bud Light with real beer ever again."

Joe Rogan is not Republican, and why are they giving him money?

“We are value based. Giving our candidates money does not buy values.”

Exactly right. I have lost several jobs for holding to my moral conservative values. This has all gone far enough. I will NEVER for the rest of my life drink ANY beer or alcoholic beverage from any company that supports immorality.

I bet Joe Rogan got millions to take that defiant sip on the air, but he is so rich he may as well have just done it for free.

Joe Rogan sucks.

Well, why should an organization like “The GOP” get involved in something like this?

Because every now and then, it would be nice to have our our party fight ON our side. They always come begging for money and votes.

Give us an example of Trump tearing down the conservative grassroots.

Bud Light tastes like water,” as does Busch lite and many other AB brands.

And some of their products are good.

Doesn't matter.

AB-InBev is dead to me.

I don’t need an organized boycott. I never bought bud light in the first place since it doesn’t taste good.
They should just fire the people in charge of this entire debacle and move on.

Did you watch the video of the podcast where he did? You don’t suddenly do a visual product placement production of promoting Bud Light like that for free in this day and age. I guarantee he got paid.

The young lady still has her job.

But Donny Jr has told us to shut up and drink the beer, because other wise AB will give to Biden.

Think about that.

Yes, even shutting down BL is a plus. I’m on a mission though now. I am so insulted by DM and all these in-your-face drag queen queers and “transgenders”. It’s over the top now. They’ve pushed me into a corner, so I’m fighting back. They do nothing but mock real women (and real men). Tired of it. The transgender people hate themselves, but they are making their problems worse by trying to change their bodies. They need to change what’s wrong in their heads. Satan is really having his way with us. Confusing everyone. He’s been good at that for a very long time.

I thought “pushing back” was something their new spokesperson does nightly while biting his pillow.
