And let me tell you, partner, Kid Rock is not impressed with Bud Light’s new campaign featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
While the campaign is wildly unpopular in conservative circles, so far Rock – real name Robert James Ritchie – has had the most forceful response.
Behold, and a warning for strong language:

Kid Rock: ‘F*** Anheuser-Busch!
They say brevity is the soul of wit, and Kid Rock must have been reading his Shakespeare because his message to Bud Light is as concise as it gets, if a little loud.
I understand the sentiment, though. Target practice can be very calming and is widely known to reduce stress.
Now, it won’t take long for the left to accuse the right of being hypocrites for cheering this video from Kid Rock, while, for example, condemning Democrat Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ former press secretary, who resigned after backlash from this message:
This, from AZ Gov @katiehobbs' spokesperson Josselyn Berry hours after the Nashville school shooting, is abhorrent and indefensible. And to go 36 hours without comment?
Barring the most improbable of explanations, she must apologize – and resign.https://t.co/Ad3l8iHG2z pic.twitter.com/LMAIGEGE1r

The difference is obvious and manifest, though I’ll lay it out just in case.
The cases of Bud Light are inanimate objects, number one. Kid Rock wasn’t threatening to shoot live people who disagree with his politics.
Alas, he will surely come… under fire… for being mean and impolitic to the giant megacorporation (the kind the left hated for decades until January 20, 2017.)

The giant megacorporation that decided to announce this promotion – which has nothing at all to do with anything, much less beer – just days after a transgender school shooter targeted and murdered Christian school children.
They have yet to announce any sort of solidarity with the Christian community.
Remember Bud Light’s Real American Hero ads? Well, there’s a new one.

Bud Defends Transgender Campaign
In response to the backlash and genuine bewilderment over the campaign featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch told Fox News:
“Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points. From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”

Which sounds all fine, I guess, or whatever.
But have you noticed how these giant megacorporations only jump into the fray when tragedy victims are a certain kind of victim, and remain totally silent when, say, Christian children are murdered?
I’m not mathematician, but I’m going to guess that the number of Christian Bud Light drinkers outnumber transgender Bud Light drinkers by 1,000,000 to 1.
In the Total State, even capitalism and the profit motive bend the knee to politics. Balance sheets be damned.

AB has carved out a new mkt niche w their new Tranny Beer!
Make your statement by the beer you drink, Tranny Beer!
People will know you by the can in your hand or the can in your trash – Tranny Beer!
Disappointed to see that corp’s feel the need to break out their food products by race and gender, and sub parts there of.
People enjoy beer while dining, relaxing and entertaining. That is a good message for the how and why people drink beer. Go for it! Lots of emotional buy buttons to push there. That AB feels the need to differentiate the who the beer drinkers are gets dicier. Generically, things work ok. Specifically, you start pushing the segregationist buttons. Generically: Cowboys drink beer, ok! All cowboys, M,F, wannabes, et al., fit just fine into cowboys. Specifically: TG cowboys drink beer, why! Athletes drink beer, ok. All races, sexes and creeds fit into athletes. Gay athletes drink beer, why the separation? AB is trying to make a political statement here, not sell beer.
These are Marxist marketing tactics for govt indoctrination. They are telling us not only what to think but how to think, so that we will be more compliant when they start passing more restrictive laws that reduce our Constitutional freedoms to the level of incarceration. This is the Left’s Ministry of Truth at work in our marketplace. It’s time to resist! Don’t buy AB’s products anymore. They are not politically nourishing or enjoyable to the taste. They are no longer relaxing or entertaining. I’ll find a new beverage of choice.
Well-said Napacfo !
I have now CANCELLED all my supermarket Budweiser Beer deliveries and off the cuff are giving the Polish crowd a chance with their Staropramen brand – tastes good actually ! ;)
If the CEO has any brains, he would do an immediate commercial and simply say ” we blew it”, we hear ya and are responding g to our customers. Sometimes we get it wrong. But, we try to learn. “
Doesn’t sound like the Bud CEO has the b*lls to do that – so STUFF them ! The Poles WIN with their Staropramen brand of “lager beer” ;)
Poor Spuds McKinsey sitting in doggy heaven thinking ” What the H have they done now, if I could id crawl out of my grave and bite every last one of those panty wasted fools
Dump Budweiser.Go woke go broke
Take your bud light and stick it up your Ass..I hope enough people boycott your beer so you will go BROKE ! FU***K YOU
HIT EM WHERE THEY’LL FEEL IT, IN THE BANK ACCOUNT. GO WOKE GO BROKE.
Welp. NO more AB products in my house. Kinda like Disney and their BS. I don’t need/want/support any of it, so will not partake of any.
Good lead Dan !
ONLY TRAITORS TO GOD DRINK BUD LIGHT NOW.
Google pays $300 on a regular basis. My latest salary check was $8600 for working 10 hours a week on the internet.N14 My younger aav sibling has been averaging $19k for the last few months, and he constantly works approximately 24 hours. I’m not sure how simple it was once I checked it out.
This is my main concern………. http://foxsitepro.blogspot.com/
My feelings exactly!
Go woke, go broke. Why is it so hard for companies to grasp this concept.
No QUEER BEER for me! Nothing that Anheuser-Busch makes until they pull these off and give a full scale apology to their former customers.
Former customers – with FORMER being the operative word !
Try the Polish offering – “Staropramen” – great flavour ;)
Corporate idiots, you need to return to the Lord. He and he alone has all the truth. Transgender is not an option; the only ones are male or female as in birth. Turn to Jesus and leave this idiocy!
