Trump threatened to release a list of "woke" companies while preparing for a fundraiser with a major Republican lobbyist for Anheuser-Busch. The controversy stemmed from Bud Light's promotional activities, which led to conservative backlash and a decline in sales. Trump highlighted Anheuser-Busch's contributions to American farmers and veterans, suggesting that the company deserves a second chance.

Bud Light's Controversial Impact: From Boycotts to Ghosting, the Unprecedented Fallout

Trans activist Dylan Mulvaney reveals that Bud Light failed to support her after a beer promotion led to intense bullying and transphobia. Mulvaney accepted a brand promotion with Bud Light and posted a sponsored video on Instagram, unaware of the backlash it would generate. She has faced ridicule, harassment, and fear for her safety, but Bud Light has not reached out to her. The incident highlights the ongoing conservative boycott against brands supporting the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month, as well as the need for brands to stand up against hate and support marginalized communities.

"Bud Light Faces Backlash Over Trans Influencer Partnership"

Marjorie Taylor Greene faced online mockery after announcing she was boycotting Bud Light over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, and instead bought a crate of Coors Light. However, Coors Light has a long history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community, leading to criticism of Greene's choice. The boycott is part of a wider conservative backlash against transgender rights, with Republicans introducing laws to ban gender-affirming care for children and stop transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.
