Brendan Whitworth must have taken a look at the plummeting stock, and, more importantly, the plummeting sales, and decided to do a little damage control
Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a mea culpa Friday in the wake of the company’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a former gay man who now claims to be a woman.
The move sparked backlash across the nation as the company became the latest to focus on woke social issues — namely, the radical left’s attempts to promote woke gender ideology into society by injecting it into schools and placing it on the forefront of favorite brands in corporate America. According to reports, Anheuser-Busch lost more than $6 billion in market value following its promotional campaign with the transgender TikTok star as tensions rose and boycotts ensued.
On Friday, Whitworth issued a statement, contending that the company “never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.”
The full statement
As the CEO of a company founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew.
We’re honored to be part of the fabric of this country. Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues. We have thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.
We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.
My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.
I care deeply about this country, this company, our brands and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors and others.
Moving forward, I will continue to work tirelessly to bring great beers to consumers across our nation.
Pretty much a wishy washy statement, taking barely any responsibility, not apologizing for the idiots in their marketing division, like
The statement comes weeks after a March 23 podcast interview with the vice president of marketing at Bud Light, Alissa Heinerscheid. During her appearance on the Make Yourself at Home podcast, the marketing executive criticized the brand’s image prior to her position at the company, describing her desire to “shift the tone” and make it “truly inclusive … lighter and brighter and different and [appealing] to women and to men.”
Maybe promote her to customer, along with the other fools who decided to play politics and Woke? I doubt this will move the needle. Conservatives and women who were outrage over the fake women thing won’t be placated by the statement, and lunatic lefties do not drink AB products to start with, unless they are seltzer crap.
When your company does something just boneheadedly stupid, always blame a low-level staffer, even if that low-level staffer holds the title Vice President of Marketing.
So, who hired Alissa Heinerscheid in the first place? Were there no clues that she was a wokestress?
Translation: “We were f(ornicating) clueless!”
No one with an IQ above room temperature could have failed to notice the political battles over ‘transgenderism,’ with Democrats saying that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, and rational people saying that no, ‘transgenderism’ is both impossible, and the attempts at it are harmful, especially to children. Anheuser-Busch is headquartered in St Louis, our good friend Elwood P Dowd’s hometown, and the Missouri state legislature has been fighting over proposed legislation to prohibit ‘transition’ quackery for minors; did no one there read the St Louis Post Dispatch? Does no one there pay any attention to the local news broadcasts?
They can’t not have known that this is a controversial topic, even if some, or all, of them come down on the side of transgenderism stupidity, even if some, or all, of them swallow the whole idea not just hook, line, and sinker, but all the way up to deep throat the rod-and-reel.
Born and raised in the uber-conservative Missouri Ozarks. Currently live near St. Louis, MO. Accordingly, Mr Dana’s ‘hometown’ is the far-left Lexington KY.
In 2008 venerable Anheuser-Busch was purchased by InBev (HQ in Belgium). The world’s largest brewer markets over 500 beer brands, so ‘patriots’ must be very careful before sipping suds.
But the Molson Coors corporation sells Miller Lite! For now, anti-trans ‘patriots’ who find the taste of real beers too much, can drink fake beers like Miller Lite, Miller 64, Coors Light or Keystone Light without worrying about catching the ‘trans’!
Is there some relevant point you’re trying to make here, chubby?

Bwaha! Lolgf
Reported that Kellogg wants to join the fun with their new cereal “RaisinTrans”. And the former Aunt Jemima maker will introduce their new syrup “TransJemima”
Next it’s “Trannies for Trump 2024”.
That’ll shut ’em up.
Trans goes corporate
What ever happened to TransWorld Airlines?

‘Mr’ Teach typed:
The stock dropped 2.7%. As of yesterday AB stock was up 8.6% over the past month.
Plummeting!, LOL!!
Who knew that so many tough, manly, right-wing ‘patriots’ guzzled Bud Light??? LOL.
For every sissy Bud Light drinker selling their stock at a loss, millions of investors line up to buy the ‘on-sale’ stock.
The groomer ‘Kid’ Rock and Travis Tritt, trying to salvage their waning careers, may not be the beacons of society Teach believes.
How does a CEO say ‘fizzuck you’ without saying ‘fizzuck you’? Read the statement, LOL.
Dainty American ‘patriots’ have a hundred cheap, watery groomer ‘beers’ from which to choose. Any so-called ‘beer’ with light, lite or a number (e.g., 64) in the name will do. One critic described them as beer-flavored mineral waters! They are used to groom yutes to the splendor of beer drinking.
It’s not a surprise that softies like ‘Kid’ Rock drink ‘kid beer’. LOL.
It IS a surprise that ‘patriots’ permit giant multinational corporations to ‘groom’ their children to the use of alcohol, which leads to sex, violence, vomiting and other bad decisions.
The once respected American conservative has become a laughingstock, but a dangerous laughingstock.

Nah. The fat weasel from Affton is doing his usual haughty “I’m better than you” dance in an attempt to cover his natural born red diaper uselessness. His neighborhood is 94% white and only 2% black but he acts like he lives in a democrat depressed ghetto like I do.
I figure he refuses to realize we on the right aren’t anti A-B we are anti Bud light for displacing an American woman from an advertising gig. The type women have worked for for years but the leftist democrats newest pet seems to be mentally ill transvestites who they constantly mislabel transsexuals (which there is no such thing). Plus they used a Harvard type commie twat to do the ads. How stupid do they get?
As psychotic as transgenderism is, it has proved a powerful tool in the hands of power mad progressives of low moral aptitude and even lower self sexualization. I don’t have the answer, but I know that those who tell me that transgenderism, anal sex, abortion, miscegenation, weed and sportsball constitute Truth and progress do not have the answer, either.

The fornicating, flame’boy’, filly from Florida has had it with the transgendered, anal sex, abortion, miscegenation, weed and sportsball!!
Fake he-men like him are terrified they’ll be snookered by a fake-women into having fake-sex!! Transgendered women never need to get abortions so the sperm-spewer needn’t worry about knocking up another stranger. Unless he’s blind as well as stupid he needn’t worry about miscegenation.
It’s always been the case that conservative scolds always feel they know better than anyone else and want to use the power of the state to enforce their weird beliefs.
We find it hard to believe any real men drink light beer. Probably worried about their girly figures.
By all means. Drink, shoot, avoid, ridicule and hate the transgendered beer! They’re not hurting you other than your feelings, snowflake. We find the beliefs of the religious to be ridiculous silly, but they’re yours and only impact others when you insist others abide by your rules.
Don’t judge everyone else by your own limited experience.
Poor Rimjob, ya gotta believe

I don’t know why fatty went off on a rift about me as usual challenging my masculinity like he could ever compare to me but whatever. I was trying to support the women who fought to get a place in the competitive market from being ripped off by faggots posing as girls. I guess if you’re stupid and deluded enough to actually believe Dylan Mulvaney is a woman you’re stupid enough to believe anything. He’s a faggot posing in chick clothes taking hard earned opportunity away from real women. You have to be as psycho as he is to believe him and crazier to support his misogyny.
Who is supporting the power of the state to enforce anything other than you commie cunts?
Real men drink anything they want you sad fat little man. We don’t answer to assholes like you.
We find the lack of morality and the sinfulness of pasty faced fat dick pervert pagans to be unsuitable for civilization. We’re not the ones who forced people to get fake vaxxes, close their businesses, loose their jobs, buy EV’s and hire perverts. We don’t force girls to shower with men and we aren’t STUPID enough to believe the constant lies of the left.
I noticed you worked for Pfizer and Monsanto. No wonder you were sucking Fauci’s pecker during the fake pandemic. You’re part of the lying cabal who started the whole thing.
Here’s some of Keenes faggots screaming like the the little cunts they are. https://youtu.be/-6NP3Q6XZrc
You’re in Florida on the government dole.
Word on the street is that AB is going to put Klinger from MASH on their light beer cans next for damage control, , but are worried about the tranny back-lash because he’s just dresses like a woman instead of going full pretend and thinking that he’s a woman…
LOL. Don Jr is asking his fans to stop the Bud Light boycott. Could be related to Republicuns receiving donations from Anheuser-Busch.
So your superior elites are bought off! The Republicun Royal Family says “fizzuck you’uns!”
Persecute, kick and punch trannies, just don’t fizzuck with our cash flow! Better do as you’re told, kids.
I don’t care what Dylan Mulvaney calls herself. Why would I, since I don’t drink Bud Light or listen to Kid Rock or Travis Twitt.
You culture warriors are the ones perpetually aggrieved and bud hurt!! Making mountains out of molehills because 1) you think it’s building a winning political coalition and/or 2) you’re really batscheisse crazy authoritarians who think your beliefs should be law, Chrisharia Law!!
