<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rap-music">Rapper</a> Forgiato Blow says his song “Boycott Target” is being shadowbanned and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/censorship">censored</a>, but those alleged efforts weren’t enough to keep it from reaching number one on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/apple">Apple</a> iTunes charts ahead of artists like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Taylor Swift.
The song is a collaboration between Blow and fellow rappers Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli, and Stoney Dudebro, per <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/30/boycott-target-song-tops-charts-as-rapper-claims-censorship">The New York Post</a>. It was released on May 25 as a way to highlight the current controversy over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/target">Target’s</a> Pride Collection this year, which included “tuck friendly” swimwear, rainbow-colored baby clothing, and items by a designer who also created “Satan Respects Pronouns” merchandise for his Etsy store. 
“Attention all shoppers, there’s a clean up on every aisle. Target is targeting your kids,” the lyrics begin.
“If you ain’t mad yet/then you better be pissed,” the song continues at another point. “Let’s protest until they close and they ain’t gonna be missed/ Why they got pride shirts in the kids clothing section/ Why they trying to mess with the kids and give misconception/ They manipulating minds and making evil impressions.”
The video has more than 4.4 million views on Blow’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ForgiatoBlow47/status/1661861660351516674">Twitter</a> account. It’s currently ranked number one on Apple charts across all genres.

The artist spoke with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/boycott-target-rap-climbs-itunes-charts-somebody-stand-kids">Fox News Digital</a> and said Big Tech is censoring him. “It’s shadow-banned all over the world right now,” Blow said of the single.
“You can’t even search the song on iTunes without going to the music video and clicking the external link. So they’re trying their hardest to keep it off the radar,” he said.
Blow went on to say how important it was to speak up about radical &#8220;LGBTQ&#8221; activism, especially when it comes to minors. “We’re living in a culture right now where people need to speak out. We need to stand up for the children,” the rapper said during an interview with “Fox &amp; Friends First.”

“There’s no place for LGBTQ for fourth- and fifth-graders,” he said.
Target has been affected by these boycott efforts. The retailer reportedly lost $10 billion in market capitalization in ten days, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-loses-10-billion-in-just-ten-days-report">reported</a>. Execs opted to remove certain Pride Collection items from stores, and in some locations, Pride displays were moved to the back of the store.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a> sales continue to fall, a reality that could soon place its status as the world’s number-one beer brand in jeopardy.
Bud Light recently garnered controversy after partnering with social media influencer <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/dylan-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylan Mulvaney</a>, a man who identifies as a woman and documented his &#8220;gender transition&#8221; on TikTok. Sales for the beer brand fell 25.7% for the week ended May 20, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/30/bud-light-sales-plunge-25-7-modelo-closes-beer-gap/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> shared with The New York Post from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsenIQ. Modelo Especial, which saw sales grow 9.2%, could meanwhile replace Bud Light.
“While Bud Light loses week after week, Modelo Especial gains week after week and now Modelo outsells Bud Light on a national basis across all trade channels combined,” Bump Williams remarked in a comment to The New York Post. “If this continues Modelo will surpass Bud Light for the year.”
Other brands owned by Anheuser-Busch continued to decline for the week ended May 20: Budweiser sales decreased 11.2%, Michelob Ultra sales fell 6.5%, Busch Light sales decreased 5.2%, and Natural Light sales dropped 4.9%.
Constellation Brands owns and produces Modelo Especial in the United States, while Anheuser-Busch produces the brand in other nations.
Yuengling Flight sales increased 47.6%. Williams told The New York Post, “Yuengling is having a great moment with the greatest growth of all the premium beers.”
Anheuser-Busch seems to have alienated those on both ends of the political spectrum in the weeks after the controversial partnership with Mulvaney. Owners of gay bars have threatened to launch <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/left-wing-activists-furious-at-bud-light-for-backing-away-from-mulvaney-call-for-a-boycott-of-their-own" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycotts</a> after the company issued a statement interpreted as downplaying the alliance, while the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest LGBTQ political lobbying organization, removed the firm’s perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index, which the group <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/corporate-equality-index" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes</a> as the “national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees.”
HRC officials said the conglomerate missed a “key moment” to support Mulvaney as the company sought to mend relations with conservatives. Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth had issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anheuser-busch-ceo-breaks-long-silence-amid-dylan-mulvaney-pr-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> about the partnership, although the communication fell short of mentioning the nod to Mulvaney or transgenderism. “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” the executive said. “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”

The continued backlash against Bud Light comes as other brands embracing leftist ideology experience tumult. Stock market value for retail behemoth Target declined precipitously in recent days after the firm <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-slammed-after-offering-female-swimsuits-that-have-extra-crotch-coverage-are-tuck-friendly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketed</a> a female swimsuit as “tuck-friendly” and with “extra crotch coverage,” as well as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-faces-backlash-over-pride-collection-designer-behind-satan-respects-pronouns-shirts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired</a> an artist who previously created Satanic items to make various designs for the company.
One recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-had-a-special-push-to-hire-lgbtq-designers-for-pride-collection-ahead-of-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from The Daily Wire found that Target had published a sustainability report which called for supplier diversity among firms creating Pride Month apparel, as well as diversity initiatives for women and racial minorities. Another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anheuser-busch-loses-perfect-lgbtq-equity-score-by-missing-key-moment-to-stand-up-for-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Daily Wire found that Anheuser-Busch has ESG commitments centered on diversity and climate efforts. Skeptics of the ESG movement contend that the philosophy centers on social causes in a manner that distracts from profitability and uses corporate power to advance leftist agendas.

The vice president for brand management at Target — which has come under fire and lost <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-loses-10-billion-in-just-ten-days-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billions of dollars in market capitalization</a> after its transgender and LGBTQ merchandise prompted a boycott — also serves as treasurer of an LGBT group that has received millions of dollars in donations from Target and urges schools to adopt policies to help trans and nonbinary school students keep their parents in the dark about their “gender identity.”
Target&#8217;s vice president for brand management Carlos Saavedra, 43, was elected to the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) executive committee as treasurer in November 2021, according to his LinkedIn page, The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12136697/Target-executive-treasurer-LGBTQ-group-received-2-1M-retailer.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>. GLSEN helps <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teachers</a> place <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQ</a> books in school libraries and hide their students’ so-called gender <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transitions</a> from parents. GLSEN has <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/RainbowLibrary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent</a> more than 46,000 books with LGBTQ themes to several thousand schools across the nation
Target <a href="https://corporate.target.com/article/2022/06/pride" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasted</a> last year about donating more than $2.1 million to GLSEN over the past decade, praising its mission to create “affirming, accessible, and antiracist spaces for LGBTQIA+ students.” Target <a href="https://www.target.com/c/pride/-/N-5589f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promotes</a> GLSEN on its online store.
“We are grateful to Target for their funding of this retrospective and for their support of GLSEN’s work in student leadership and educator trainings,” former GLSEN executive director Eliza Byard said in a <a href="https://www.glsen.org/news/glsen-and-target-team-25th-anniversary-documentary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> several years ago about a documentary the two entities produced. “Together, we have been able to change school climates for LGBT youth.”
GLSEN has <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/RainbowLibrary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent</a> more than 46,000 books with LGBTQ themes to several thousand schools across the nation, including “posters and supplemental resources” for educators.
 “Staff or educators shall not disclose any information that may reveal a student’s gender identity to others, including parents or guardians and other staff, unless the student has authorized such disclosure, the information is contained in school records requested by a parent or guardian, or there is another compelling need,” one model local education agency policy posted on the GLSEN <a href="https://www.glsen.org/activity/model-local-education-agency-policy-on-transgender-nonbinary-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> said.
GLSEN promotes the LGBTQ movement in every facet of a school’s curriculum. “As teachers teach about data collection and relevance, they should include whether it is beneficial to include gender or biological sex, being sure to reinforce the difference between those two terms,” one <a href="https://www.glsen.org/blog/how-do-we-make-math-class-more-inclusive-trans-and-non-binary-identities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> from the organization contended. “When students are creating their own surveys, if they want to include data for biological sex, teachers need to be sure they include both intersex and other as choices, and if the students want to include data for gender, a variety of choices need to be included.”

Fans of Chip and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joanna-gaines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joanna Gaines</a> are urging the pair to take a stand against <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Target</a> as calls for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boycott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycotts</a> against the retailer continue.
The hosts of the hit HGTV reality show “Fixer Upper” turned their fame into a multi-million dollar brand encompassing product lines, multiple brand partnerships, and even their own television network. One of these ventures is the popular Hearth &amp; Hand with Magnolia home product line that the Gaineses sell at Target stores nationwide. The couple launched the product line ahead of the holiday season in 2017 and has been adding new styles ever since.
The Gaineses are practicing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christianity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christians</a> but usually don’t mix business and faith practices.
Now their conservative audience is demanding that Chip and Joanna take a side after it was revealed that Target was selling “tuck-friendly” female swimwear in their prominent Pride section. The company also faced backlash for partnering with an artist who independently sells merchandise with Satanic themes. 
Erik Carnell runs the company Abprallen. The designer made a mini messenger bag with the slogan “We Belong Everywhere,” a tote bag with the phrase “Too Queer For Here,” and a sweatshirt with “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People” to sell in Target&#8217;s Pride collection this year. Carnell’s Etsy shop features designs that say, “Satan Respects Pronouns” and “Trans Witches For Abortion,” per a previous Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-partner-who-sells-satan-respects-pronouns-art-sees-sales-soar-after-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>. 
Joanna Gaines has comments turned off on her Instagram account, though it’s unclear when she made that change and if it has anything to do with the Target backlash. 
Chip Gaines still has his Instagram comments turned on, and fans are flooding his posts with pleas for the Gaineses to cut ties with Target and publicly denounce the company as the boycott initiative builds momentum. 
“As a father of small children, I am appalled that you would continue to be associated with [Target],” one commenter wrote. “Joanna has turned her comments off, which is totally an act of cowardice. Take a stand. You can take the financial loss. God will bless you 10 fold. Stand up!!!”

“This is a spiritual battle against families! Do the right thing! Doing nothing is speaking volumes,” another person wrote.
“Get out of Target. Please, for the love of children, take a stand,” a third follower echoed.
Target reported a $6 billion decrease in its market capitalization since the controversy began, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-tide-is-turning-prominent-christians-talk-effective-target-and-bud-light-boycotts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. This controversy is being compared to fans boycotting Bud Light for partnering with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has reportedly lost nearly $16 billion in value since the drama began in April.

Conservative consumers have finally figured out how to make their money talk when it comes to companies that peddle LGBT ideology including transgenderism, and Wall Street is taking notice.
Following backlash from the Right, retail giant <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Target</a> said this week that it will remove some of its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/targets-stock-market-value-takes-6-billion-hit-since-backlash-over-pride-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBT Pride merchandise</a> aimed at both children and adults, including “tuck-friendly” women’s bathing suits, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/05/23/target-pride-lgbtq/9e84cb9c-f9b8-11ed-bafc-bf50205661da_story.html">designs</a> from a company that sells satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing. The backtracking comes amid a devastating boycott against beer brand Bud Light over that company&#8217;s decision to team up with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dylan-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylan Mulvaney</a>, a 26-year-old transgender activist who pretends to be a &#8220;girl&#8221; in online videos. 
“We were sold a false bill of goods, that this was just gonna be kind of a live-and-let-live kind of libertarian approach to ordering our life together in society,&#8221; theologian and Christian Ethics Professor Andrew Walker told The Daily Wire of the LGBT movement. 
&#8220;I think what we’re seeing is this kind of the metastasizing, outworking, and growth of the sexual revolution just doing what it’s naturally prone to do, which is to be all-consuming and to say that there are no limits whatsoever,&#8221; Walker said. &#8220;I believe in something like the natural law that every single person has some type of access to a general moral knowledge, and I think that that moral knowledge tells us that preying on children, sexualizing children is beyond the boundaries of a decent society. I think we’re seeing a reaction to that.”
Matt Fradd, Catholic apologist and host of the popular podcast &#8220;Pints with Aquinas,&#8221; told The Daily Wire that any group promoting the LGBT movement &#8220;ought not be patronized if there be another alternative.&#8221;
&#8220;And if you say, &#8216;But everyone is promoting it,&#8217; then we should avoid those corporations who are especially promoting it,&#8221; Fradd said. &#8220;Our primary purpose in doing this is not to make them hurt financially, but to not participate in evil.&#8221;
But the companies are feeling the squeeze. Bud Light&#8217;s parent company, Anheuser-Busch has reportedly lost nearly $16 billion in value since the backlash started last month. Target has witnessed a $6 billion decrease in its market <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/stock-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">capitalization</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/targets-stock-market-value-takes-6-billion-hit-since-backlash-over-pride-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported Thursday.
Target&#8217;s stock price has declined from $152.28 on May 19, to $139.39 on May 25, marking an 8.5% decrease over the course of a single week. The firm’s market capitalization, which refers to the total value of a publicly traded company’s outstanding shares, fell from $70.4 billion to $64.4 billion over the same time period.
And the calls to boycott haven&#8217;t stopped at Bud Light and Target. A Catholic bishop and popular podcast host named Bishop Robert Barron on Thursday called for a boycott of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The baseball team partnered with the highly controversial so-called “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” an LGBT group that mocks Catholics.
&#8220;Friends, it’s hard to imagine anything more offensive than some of the behavior of the &#8216;Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,&#8217; which I think can only be described as an anti-Catholic hate group,&#8221; the bishop said via Twitter. &#8220;Yet the Los Angeles Dodgers have invited this group to be honored at their stadium. Anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice in America, and we shouldn’t tolerate it.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m a big baseball fan,&#8221; Bishop Barron added. &#8220;I’ve even thrown out the first pitch at a Dodgers game. But I’d encourage my friends in LA to boycott the Dodgers. Let’s not just pray, but make our voices heard in defense of our Catholic faith.&#8221;

Tritt went even further and announced he would be &#8220;deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same.&#8221;
Kid Rock posted a video on Twitter showing him shooting several cases of Bud Light.
&#8220;Grandpa&#8217;s feeling a little frisky today,&#8221; the 52-year-old singer captioned the post. &#8220;Let me say something to all of you and be as clear and concise as possible. F*** Bud Light. And f*** Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day.&#8221;

In the article, the outlet called out the host for telling Anheuser-Busch and CEO Brendan Whitworth it could keep their &#8220;pathetic, rambling, empty-air sandwich of — I can&#8217;t even call it an apology — an attempt to dissuade people from hating his company and him. It was an utter fail.&#8221;
&#8220;Screw you and your stupid empty platitudes,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I read this, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh, your little, market-tested buzzwords on what&#8217;s supposed to stir up our patriotism.&#8217; Too late, sir! The buzzwords we were looking for: &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry. We screwed up.'&#8221;
Outraged conservatives lashed out at Whitworth for refusing to admit the company made a mistake when it partnered with Mulvaney, resulting in a boycott by customers against the company.

&#8220;This person [Mulvaney] who&#8217;s on their beer can has made a mockery of womanhood and girlhood for literally the past year and has been celebrated by far-lefties all across the country,&#8221; the host said on her show Monday. &#8220;But to see what&#8217;s supposed to be a mainstream beer company do it was a bridge too far. That&#8217;s why they’re having the reaction they are.&#8221;
&#8220;He [Whitworth] needs to apologize if he wants to save his company,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And he won&#8217;t do it. Instead, we&#8217;re getting the horses ad which was, Oh, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s just completely coincidental put out right after his statement&#8230;&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/business">Anheuser-Busch</a> competitor Yuengling sent out a well-timed tweet as the Bud Light <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boycott">drama</a> drags on.
About one hour after the Anheuser-Busch CEO posted a lengthy statement on Twitter that attempted to quell tension in the wake of the PR crisis, the small Pennsylvania-based <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alcohol">beer brewery</a> Yuengling sent a tweet of its own.
&#8220;Yuengling, The Oldest Brewery In America. Independently Owned and Family Operated since 1829 because we make good beer,&#8221; the company wrote Friday alongside a photo of its traditional lager staged in front of an American flag.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">tweet</a>, which had close to five million views Tuesday morning, had a lot of support from fans. 
“Just found a new beer,” one user <a href="https://twitter.com/Willie_jmyers/status/1647726697641304068">wrote</a>.
“Good timing,” another person <a href="https://twitter.com/hcasan0va/status/1647262238909054977">said</a>.
“It just so happens I&#8217;m looking for a new favorite beer,” a third account <a href="https://twitter.com/KevinRich/status/1647310341825605641">replied</a>.
Yuengling&#8217;s tweet was shared just after Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released a statement that didn’t apologize but did acknowledge that the company never intended to &#8220;divide people.&#8221;
&#8220;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,” Whitworth wrote.

“Anheuser-Busch employs more than 18,000 people and our independent distributors employ an additional 47,000 valued colleagues,” he continued. “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.&#8221;
He was reacting to a controversy that began on April 1 when trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney announced a partnership with Bud Light. This included several social media promotional posts and a personalized beer can to commemorate the first anniversary of Mulvaney’s “Days of Girlhood” TikTok video series.
News of the partnership set off a firestorm online, leading to boycotts. Some big-name country stars including Kid Rock and John Rich said they support the boycott, while several Republicans argue that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/step-aside-matt-walsh-tells-gop-establishment-youre-wrong-bud-light-boycott-matters">boycott should end</a> due to Anheuser-Busch providing donor cash to the GOP.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania-based brand Yuengling is getting more attention online. The nation’s oldest operating brewery currently <a href="https://www.yuengling.com/news/yuengling-continues-westward-expansion-into-3-new-states/">sells its products</a> in 26 U.S. states after expanding to Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in February 2023.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Bud Light on Monday evening, saying that conservatives should keep pressure up on the company as it faces backlash over its decision to partner with controversial transgender-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
DeSantis&#8217; remarks during the interview with political commentator Benny Johnson come after the company released a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anheuser-busch-ceo-breaks-long-silence-amid-dylan-mulvaney-pr-crisis">statement</a> late last week which generated even more <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-a-disaster-anheuser-busch-angers-both-sides-of-political-aisle-with-meaningless-statement">backlash</a> against the company because it was seen across the political spectrum as weak.
&#8220;Why would you want to drink Bud Light?&#8221; DeSantis asked. &#8220;I mean like honestly, that&#8217;s like them rubbing our faces in it and it&#8217;s like these companies that do this, if they never have any response, they&#8217;re just gonna keep doing it.&#8221;
&#8220;So, if you as a consumer are like &#8230; &#8216; yeah, they&#8217;re doing that, but I&#8217;m just gonna keep drinking it anyways,&#8217; well, then they&#8217;re gonna keep doing it,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;So I think we have power as consumers to make our voice heard, and not on every company because sometimes conservative consumers aren&#8217;t going to make a dent in some companies.&#8221;
&#8220;This one is one if you don&#8217;t have conservative beer drinkers, you&#8217;re gonna feel that and so you know, I think it&#8217;s a thing,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;Some of these controversies that come up, and people can kind of just say, &#8216;oh, well it&#8217;s kind of a one off, yeah, it was stupid to do,&#8217; but it&#8217;s part of a larger thing where corporate America is trying to change our country. Trying to change policy, trying to change culture, and you know, I&#8217;d rather be governed by we the people than woke companies and so I think pushback is in order across the board including with Bud Light.&#8221;
When asked if he would ever drink Bud Light again, DeSantis responded, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t think so.&#8221;
DeSantis said that the company lost him as a customer over the controversy.

&#8220;Yeah, f*** that,&#8221; the country star said after taking a look at the Bud Light can. After smashing it, Gilbert was tossed a different beer.

Unlike other stars who are too afraid to be open about their conservative-leaning politics, Gilbert has rocked pro-Trump gear and has even <a href="https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2021/09/13/brantley-gilbert-on-west-virginia-crowds-anti-biden-chant-oh-im-here-for-that/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">enjoyed</a> his fans&#8217; &#8220;F*** Joe Biden&#8221; chants at a concert in 2021.

“In full disclosure, I was on a tour sponsored by Budweiser in the 90s. That was when Anheuser-Busch was American owned. A great American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame,” Tritt wrote in a follow-up.

Anheuser-Busch was slammed online over the weekend after running a pro-America advertisement as the company continues to deal with the fallout from its decision to partner with controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The backlash the company faced was already intense before CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anheuser-busch-ceo-breaks-long-silence-amid-dylan-mulvaney-pr-crisis">statement</a> over the matter that was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-a-disaster-anheuser-busch-angers-both-sides-of-political-aisle-with-meaningless-statement">widely</a> panned across the political spectrum as weak.
The company released its new ad featuring one of the Budweiser Clydesdales running through America. “Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted in the heart of America,” the narrator in the ad states. “Found in the community where a handshake is a sure contract. Brewed from those who found opportunity and challenge and hope in tomorrow.”
“Raised by generations willing to sit, share, risk, remember,” the ad continues. “This is a story bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The ad was widely slammed online by critics who accused the company of walking back what they considered virtue signaling.
&#8220;Sorry… this ship has already sailed,&#8221; tweeted UFC fighter Tim Kennedy. &#8220;You should’ve supported the hard-working middle class that once were proud to kick back after a long day of work.&#8221;
&#8220;They are doubling down on their pro American marketing efforts in an attempt to get people to forget their blunder,&#8221; another account commented. &#8220;Smart play Budweiser but it’s not going to work.&#8221;
Attorney Philip Holloway tweeted, &#8220;Don’t look now @AnheuserBusch @budweiserusa but the Clydesdale has already left the barn. The train has sailed, the ship has left the station.&#8221;

Political operative Jake Schneider tweeted, &#8220;Lol so after weeks of hemorrhaging support, Budweiser releases an ad featuring: Clydesdales, farms, dirt roads, fields, Grand Canyon, St. Louis Arch, Main Street, firefighters, veterans, flags, Lincoln Memorial, tractors, trucks, baseball caps, and the Freedom Towers.&#8221;
&#8220;Far too late for this pandering now,&#8221; another account said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve drawn my line in the sand against ridiculous wokeism and it is to consciously never buy or support an @AnheuserBusch product ever again and share that disdain among people I see consuming their products.&#8221;
Former boxer Ed Latimore tweeted, &#8220;Man, this s*** might have worked in the 80s, but the internet is forever.&#8221;

Budweiser Releases New Ad Amid Transgender Controversy, Gets Blasted Online

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trans-identifying</a> influencer Dylan Mulvaney just did an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rosie-odonnell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rosie O’Donnell</a> following the controversy with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alcohol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a>, breaking silence in the wake of ongoing boycotts after their brand partnership became public.
Mulvaney claimed to be an “easy target” for critics because of only “transitioning” in the past year.
“The reason that I think I am so…I’m an easy target is because I’m so new to this,” the TikTok star told O’Donnell on Tuesday’s <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-onward-with-rosie-odonnel-110519338/episode/dylan-mulvaney-112743681/?embed=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of “Onward.”  
“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,” the influencer added. “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.”
Bud Light received <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boycott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intense backlash</a> earlier this month after Mulvaney announced a brand partnership with the beer company. The brand sent Mulvaney a custom beer pack that featured the influencer&#8217;s face on the cans to celebrate the first anniversary of Mulvaney’s &#8220;transition.&#8221; Mulvaney has also partnered with multiple other brands, including Olay, KitchenAid, Kate Spade, Ulta Beauty, Tampax, and recently, Nike women’s athletic wear. 
Mulvaney told O’Donnell about trying “to be the most uncontroversial person this past year” despite advertising for products specifically made for women, such as bras and tampons.
The social media star didn’t mention the controversies directly, but O’Donnell did. “Beer companies have been supportive of the LGBTQIA community for decades. This is not the first time. Who do you think sponsors pride? Gay people, trans people, we drink beer, too, man. Put down your gun, Kid Rock, it’s in bad taste,” she said, referencing a video the rock star made of himself shooting at cases of Bud Light.

“It’s just a heavy time. And it’s time to step up, for sure,” Mulvaney said, insisting that critics are of no concern.
This was the first time Mulvaney addressed the controversy so directly. Last week, the influencer posted a video of the song “No One is Alone” from “Into the Woods.”
“It’s hard to see the light now, just don’t let it go. This song felt fitting for the week I’ve been having,” Mulvaney wrote in the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dylanmulvaney/video/7219406266404212010?lang=en">caption</a>. “Thank you all for making me feel supported, i am not alone️️ #trans.”
