Beer colossus Anheuser-Busch saw its value plummet more than $5 billion
since the company announced its branding partnership with controversial transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Since March 31, shares of Bud Light’s parent company have fallen by nearly
4% — knocking down the company’s market capitalization from $132.38
billion to $127.13 billion on Wednesday.
Anheuser-Busch stock fizzled more than 1.5% on Wednesday.
The company is dealing with the fallout from conservatives over its deal
with Mulvaney, the 26-year-old transgender influencer with more than 10
million followers on social media.
Mulvaney fired back at critics Tuesday, accusing them of bullying her
because she’s an “easy target.”
As a guest on the “Onward with Rosie O’Donnell” podcast, Mulvaney said her trolls intentionally twist her words and actions in an effort to blast the transgender community.
“The reason that I think I am so … I’m an easy target is because I’m so
new to this,” Mulvaney said. “I think going after a trans woman that’s
been doing this for like 20 years is a lot more difficult. I think maybe
they think that there’s some sort of chance with me … But what is their
goal?”

“These people, they don’t understand me and anything that I do or say then somehow gets taken out of context and is used against me and it’s so sad because everything I try to put out is positive. It’s trying to connect
with others that maybe don’t understand me. It’s to make people laugh or
to make a kid feel seen.”
Mulvaney had posted videos and photos on social media promoting her
sponsorship deal with Bud Light, which produced specially made cans with Mulvaney’s likeness to commemorate the partnership.
The Mulvaney endorsement deal prompted Kid Rock to shoot up several cans
of Bud Light with an assault rifle.

The backlash even prompted a local Missouri distributor to cancel an
appearance by the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses due to fears for the safety of staffers.
Industry experts told The Post on Tuesday that the controversy appears to
have staying power and could lead to a full-blown boycott of Anheuser-Bush products.
Mulvaney reportedly is pulling down more than $1 million in sponsorship
deals with several big-name brands including Nike and Kate Spade.
Megyn Kelly lashed out at the “non-breasted” Mulvaney’s deal with Nike.
“Nike sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney now for a f–king sports bra,” Kelly said
during Tuesday’s edition of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM.
“I’m sorry, Dylan doesn’t have breasts.”
“Dylan’s been taking some sort of a hormone that has turned Dylan into
some … I don’t know what’s happening there, but those are not breasts.”
“And Dylan doesn’t need any sort of a bra — never mind a sports bra,”
according to Kelly.
Both Bud Light and Nike have pushed back against the criticism and stood
by Mulvaney.
That's fine. There are many other choices than Nike and Budweiser. Spend
your money where some clueless executives are not attempting to force
their ignorant social engineering agenda on you.
