Bud Light Threw Dylan Mulvaney to the Wolves

This is not a brag, believe me, but I consume an unhealthy amount of headlines and news articles every single day. Monday through Friday, it’s a freaking firehose. Because of that, I’ve watched as Bud Light recently launched what is basically an “apology tour” for giving Dylan Mulvaney a special edition can that wasn’t even on shelves. To be clear, Bud Light isn’t specifically coddling right-wing snowflakes who have been sh*tting their pants by saying they shouldn’t have done the campaign. However, the company has also refused to defend the campaign and is notably refusing to take a stance on LGBTQ rights as well. — The link back there is a prime example of the mealy-mouthed cowardice going on. — Needless to say, Mulvaney noticed, and she has now revealed in a new video that Bud Light hasn’t done a thing to support her since Republicans started hyperventilating back in April. The beer company left her to the wolves, which is some real bullsh*t. There’s no other way to cut it. (Variety)
