Bud Light faces backlash over Dylan Mulvaney partnership and transgender campaign.

Conservative activist and commentator Rob Smith has criticized Bud Light's partnership with transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, claiming that companies are being influenced by "far-left" leadership and directors to boost their equality index scores. Smith argues that corporations are "forced" to adopt "woke" culture depending on their equality scores, and that this may not be the type of representation women want. Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood," by sending Mulvaney custom-made cans featuring the influencer's face. However, the move has caused backlash for Anheuser Busch, with one Missouri bar owner reporting a 30% drop in sales of Anheuser-Busch bottled products over the past week, while draught beer plummeted 50%.
