Bud Light continues to be the target of right-wingers who hate any form of progressive thinking that promotes equality and allyship towards marginalized groups.
During a recent rally, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took aim at the once beloved beer brand and the LGBTQ community, stating that because she did not “see any men in dresses,” she’ll just “assume they’re not serving Bud Light here” before shouting the latest conservative catchphrase, “Go woke, go broke.”
Anheuser-Busch became the right’s newest chew toy after partnering up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a new campaign.
The precious cold pack of commemorative beer, which features her face to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her coming out as transgender, triggered anger amongst conservative who called for a boycott of the beverage. There has also since been a decline in sales, which came with a side irate reaction which gifted the world with a video of Kid Rock taking live shots at a series of Bud Light beer cans.
Boebert’s remarks are just the latest of attacks. Earlier this month, the dim-witted politician shared a photoshopped image of a Bud Light can depicting Pat Tillman, an NFL player for the Arizona Cardinals, who enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002 and was killed by friendly fire while serving in Afghanistan in April 2004.
The caption called out the beer brand claiming that Tillman’s image was “the one America wanted.” However, many critics online cast doubt that most republican who invoked Tillman actually knew his stand on the majority of issues, including LGBTQ rights.
