When the CEO of Anheuser-Busch interviews prospective recruits to the world's biggest brewing conglomerate, he has a favorite question.
'Tell me about a time that you didn't succeed or things didn't go as planned,' he likes to ask.
If Brendan Whitworth ever finds himself asked the same question, he now has plenty of material to draw on.
Whitworth, 46, has seen his biggest brand - Bud Light - engulfed in a firestorm of controversy since they teamed up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on April 1.
Mulvaney was issued with her own special-edition can of the beer to mark her year of transitioning from male to female: a move that enraged Bud Light drinkers, and saw $6 billion knocked off the value of Anheuser-Busch. Factories across the United States were even hit with bomb threats amid the furore.
Whitworth on Friday issued a statement declaring: 'We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.
'We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.'
The decision to team up with Mulvaney was reportedly made by a low-level marketing executive, but that has not stopped Whitworth and his vice president of marketing for Bud Light, Alissa Heinerscheid, from facing a torrent of criticism.
Yet few are better positioned to draw on a lifetime of challenging situations than Whitworth - an 'all American hero' and trainee doctor who joined the Marines - where he was a star athlete - and the CIA, recruiting and handling spies across the Middle East, before going to Harvard Business School.

“The $12M a year registered Republican CEO of Anheuser-Busch: All-American Bud Light boss, 46, and Iron Man who broke silence on Dylan Mulvaney controversy gave up medical training to join Marines, was CIA spy handler and then won Harvard place”
And pissed it away with one immoral disgusting homosexual decision. All of those other things don’t matter.
There is an old saying, “One dammit wipes out a hundred attaboys”.
I keep reading that boycotts don’t work for conservatives. And that they really haven’t lost much. And that everything will back to normal soon. It seems to me that if it our reaction was as big a nothing burger as we are being told it is, the MSM wouldn’t be yelling so loudly about how much this doesn’t matter. Just keep pissing on my shoes and tell me it’s raining.
Another stupid rich kid from Delaware promoted beyond his pay grade.
BTW, real Marines don’t drink Bud Lite. Bourbon, Scotch and Gin are preferred. If they drink beer, it’s something like San Miguel or Sapporo.
Let’s go Brendan.
“Telling me someone was in the CIA doesn’t exactly make me trust them.”
Then you must have surely agree that there’s probably more than a few on this blog...
I was reading the article and my thought was what a different world Harvard was back when the CEO attended. I wonder if he’s a skull and bones man.
Donald Trump Jr. made a video yesterday urging people to forget all this and start drinking Tranny Light again.
And me?
I’m sick of “tranny weirdo marketing”... Enough of the pervert crap... Sexual mutilation of children is evil ... and for adults? It’s a sign of mental illness.
CIA operative and Harvard grad. In other words: He despises America but loves the US of Gay.
Junior needs to shut up.
The dildo of consequence rarely arrives lubed.
We have here a puff piece on the CEO because Heinerscheid's justification statement made the situation far worse. This attempt to blame the decision on an unnamed "low-level marketing executive" dooms the strategy. Were he to take full credit for the decision while wearing blood-stained combat gear on a battlefield having just saved a girl's orphanage from a terrorist attack...(maybe?)
CEI (Corporate Equality Index) a “resource” of the HRC org is very big into LGBTQ movement.

The Index (score) is right up there with ESG when dealing with invstment companies like BlackRock, Vanguard etc.
Deep state CIA goon Budweiser CEO deletes profile in panic after truth is found out!
BTW, if folks think this is bad, they should take a look at who's working at some of their local and state enemedia outlets. I've noted some eye-popping CVs...
He effed up
We all do
Gotta pay the ticket
She’s actual Bud Light boss I think
What is his interest in Bud Light?
This might be fixed if they fire the person responsible for it. Any employee who lost this much money for whatever reason would have been fired. It would also help if they never donated to democrats again!
He’s doubling down on this…..They think in the end people will drink their beer again.
