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 do wonder what the mothers and sisters of these fake women think. Are they disgusted? I know if any of the men in my family did this, I’d be talking with them first, and try to get them to see that they need mental help instead of butchering their bodies.

This is akin to telling an anorexic that she does look fat and ugly, so please don’t eat, or agreeing with a schizophrenic that you hear the voices too. It doesn’t help them at all.

When Trump ran in 2016, his rallies were attended by all types and stereotypes. That was a huge threat to the Establishment — thus, the appalling divisions that were coerced and sown since then.

There are the extremes in most every group, and only the activation of those extremists are required to establish the national mood and inevitable disharmony. Nothing we’re seeing today is a natural societal progression.

Jr should have not commented, the comment hurts his bona fides. Conservatives, especially social conservatives desperately need a win. Jr. might not like the target, but this boycott has the best chance to get a scalp, it is a better opportunity than we have had in a long time. It is easy to switch to another swill, hardly a sacrifice, but the financial hit will be a grievous penalty for this cultural betrayal. The AB head on a pike is the type of win that could embolden conservatives in this fight to regain territory lost to the cultural Marxists and government-corporate overlords. So my advise to Jr is either join in or get out of the way, this needs to happen.

The stockholders need to sue for the boards ignoring of their fiduciary responsibilities. The distributors need to sue for breech of trust. The employees need to sue for criminal mismanagement. The snowball needs to get rolling and gain momentum. AB can become a symbol of corporate suicide or AB could man-up and denounce wokism with gusto and issue a sincere apology demonstrating contrition, regret and remorse for caving into the spirit of the age instead of standing firm for historic American values. We certainly don’t need conservative-lite at this crossroads, we need a decisive win.

Back in my drinking days I always thought light beer was for homos anyway.

Don Jr. looks a little gay himself with that yuppy beard.

Abandoning his wife for Newsom’s ex isn’t too impressive. She probably has friends of all 57 “genders” [sic].

Miller Lite has been “Open & Proud” for a long time. You missed “Beers and Queer History”.

Talhat is why Youngling or other non-InBev/ Coors-Miller beer is called for.

I have a growing suspicion that the real reason Obama picked Biden for VP is he knew exactly which GOP Senators could be bought.
It sure worked out with McCain, Flake, Turtle and Linda.

That should be a bee headline

I agree completely.

I used to think I might be voting for Junior down the road someday, but I will never vote for him for anything now -- period.   He has shown himself to be a wobbly-kneed, spineless blowhard, with no core values (other than filthy lucre).

That budlight can-nut she-he represents all the other screwballs trying to force all that false garbage on everyone, even young kids in schools.

Put any remaining budlight cans in a can crusher, crush them, get rid of them, and avoid them completely in the future.

I have really thought about this and I voted for Donald Trump Sr. twice but Trump Jr. has convinced me after seeing his speech that I should not vote for his father a third time. This is all very disturbing.
