GOP Quietly Backs Off Attacking Bud Light—Its Own Major Donor
Daily Beast ^ | April 15, 2023 | Zachary Petrizzo

The National Republican Congressional Committee quietly deleted a fundraising page Saturday that took aim at one of their largest donors, the parent company of Bud Light, Anheuser-Busch.

The NRCC’s back peddling follows conservatives calling for a boycott of the beer company after they partnered with transgender TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney.

On Saturday morning, the powerful committee that provides support to Republican congressional campaigns blasted out a tweet calling for supporters to donate to the NRCC and, in exchange, be given a custom drink koozie.

“Thanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water,” the NRCC said in a since-deleted tweet that The Daily Beast reviewed and can be seen below. “With our new koozie’s, you can make sure no one confuses Bud Light with real beer ever again.”

But shortly after it was posted around 9:30 a.m., the tweet was taken down. Later on Saturday afternoon, the corresponding fundraising page was also nixed.

Here’s a thought. Maybe the chick who put this campaign together did it to bring down the company.

“Don Jr came out last night and said to call off the boycott because A-B are major donors.”

I thought Trumps were not beholden to anything? Now they are sellouts just like all the others.

“The Republican Establishment in this case is the Trump family. Don Jr came out last night and said to call off the boycott because A-B are major donors.”

Precisely, Don Jr did not just willy nilly throw that out. He got daddy’s approval to fly that test feeler.

IMO, [which I know counts for nothing], I think the CEO of Budweiser was sweating seeing their $$$’s dropping. What to do? Call Trump Jr and ask if he can put the word out to help stop the blood bath. Jr comes out and says A-B supports republicans and their causes and to stop boycotting a major donor. Again, IMO, Jr was not thinking and should have stayed out of the mess especially since he is not a drinker. But, being the Trump name is an elite R. they thought they would help another elite R.

I don’t drink beer, but hubby does. A-B can pound salt waiting for any money from my family. Its family values & morals that are the issue here. I think the vast majority feel the same and are sick of this insane nonsense being pushed at us, nonstop. That Mulvaney character is an insult to real women. He’s nothing but a gay actor looking for a big payoff. And he has gotten that from these idiot companies. Let them reap the damages they have sown! Perhaps some of these companies will wake up over this debacle?

If you believe that Dylan Mulvaney is a girl, then you must believe that Bud Light is good beer.

The only corporations we can possibly hope to influence are the ones that donate heavily to Republicans. The others don’t give a damn what we say or think. So any Republican pushing for us to leave Anheuser Busch alone because they donate to Republicans is really telling us to give up the fight against corporate wokeism entirely. Pay attention to those taking this position. Lots of valuable lessons being learned right now.
