TGIF! Bud Light's Twitter account posts for the first time since backlash sparked by trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney's promotional campaign

After nearly two weeks and a massive backlash to a promotional campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, the Bud Light Twitter account finally posted again Friday.

The beer giant's last tweet came on April 1, when they posted: 'Beers on us? Must be game time. For a chance to win, cheer on your team with #EasyToEnjoySweepstakes in the replies.'

While they have gone a few days without tweeting in the past, the @BudLight is typically fairly active, as are their other regular social channels. The feed had tweeted 10 times in the prior seven days and is usually active during large sporting events.

On April 2, the next day, Mulvaney posed a video across her social media channels announcing the deal and promoting a contest that gave drinkers a chance to win $15,000. The Instagram video currently has over 11,000 comments, many of them unhappy with the promotion.

Friday, the account tweeted out a traditional can of Bud Light beer with the acronym 'TGIF,' which stands for 'Thank God It's Friday.'

Many were not particularly enthused by the prompt, with conservatives tweeting out insults at the brand.

Conservative personality Harmeet K. Dhillon simply replied: 'GTH' or 'Go to hell.'

Former Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller said: 'Stop promoting transgender ideology.'

Tyler Fischer suspected the acronym stood for 'Thank God I'm Fired' and was written by the company's social media manager.

So they think they are good now that they sent out their non apology? The media lie will be they sent out a statement and all is well so let’s just drop this boycott business. I hope it doesn’t lose steam we need this boycott to really do some damage. They are the perfect target. Plenty of alternatives and they insulted their customer base.

Hopefully the Bud brand will die a slow, public death that will help big companies anticipate the consequences of stupidity.

I cannot figure out how to boycott something that I already don’t buy. I am willing to learn.

Only one legal way...stop buying all beers from inBev....corona, butwiser, butt light, et cetera...tell thine friends how much better the other brews are. If there are 5 million like you and I and we cut 200 bucks a year from their profits...that is 1 billion less for them....their stocks go lower, other brews financials get stronger...you see where I’m going...
I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore.

If you mean you don’t buy any beer...then find out whatever else they sell and boycott that. Or if someone offers you a beer, tell them you want beer brewed by an American owned company, but not a Belgian owned company..Every little bit helps.

I mostly drink home-brew or Yuengling. I have always liked Coors for a hot weather drink; I understand that even they support the sodomy agenda. The Bandit weeps.
