Trump Jr, GOP under fire for going soft on Bud Light boycotts: No interest in 'pushing back'

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."

I heard it tastes like Clydesdale pee....

Huh! There are people who drink Clydesdale pee and have compared it to Busch Lite?

Hubby does as well, but we have had AB products in the past. Please refer to the list of AB brands at #51 for a list of all the products from AB. There were a few surprises for me. I’m not sure if any of these are IPAs, but I think a couple of them might be.

We are in a culture war. The left would say some eggs need to be broken to win. The fact the AB donates to republicans is interesting but not important. They participated in the debasement of the culture. Sending a message is the point.

They do nothing but mock real women (and real men).

Transgenders and Drag Queens are to Women
What Blackface is to Blacks.

Well then, I guess giving up alcohol several years ago was a blessing.

I first heard Matt Walsh say it, and now a lot of others, and it crystallized my abhorrence: Mulvaney’s act, to take the example at hand, is a modern equivalent of blackface. It lampoons and degrades women. That people who pretend to support women’s rights put up with it is unconscionable

That’s exactly right. I’m not a cork sniffer (keg sniffer?) and I don’t care if it’s the worst or the best beer in the world - that’s not the point.

Don Jr. doesn’t do anything without his dad’s approval. Trump may sent his son out as a trial ballon to see if the reaction was positive or negative.

Most Americans have learned that the once revered Patriotism is sadly a conviction held by just a small minority — the corporations and Rats have exploited the genuine but unsuspecting deference. The days of amicability are no more — at least for the foreseeable future.

Yes, I’m now looking at the brands of rum that I like. I’m sick of the perversion of these woke companies telling me that I should look at fake men and women as real ones. I’m sick of drag queens. The LGBT community has pushed me far enough.

“I’m gonna stand my ground. Won’t be pushed around.”

How are they backpedaling? They are just trying to distract?

>> It lampoons and degrades women.

While claiming to represent, the Rats in fact harm with malicious intent.

If your company lost $5 to $7 billion, I’d expect it to back pedal, too.

This is, after all, the man who had a shindig for his homo friends.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that….
