Republican commentator and reality television star Caitlyn Jenner joined former President Donald Trump in urging Republicans to “move forward” from their boycott of Bud Light, Tuesday.
As conservatives approach one year in the boycott against Bud Light over its marketing partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Trump took to Truth Social on Tuesday to defend the beer and its parent company Anheuser-Busch, and to urge his supporters to give them a “second chance.”
“The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company,” he wrote, ahead of a fundraiser with an Anheuser-Busch lobbyist. “Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance?”
Later on Tuesday, Jenner also urged conservatives to “move on” from the boycott, praising the company’s “track record over the years.”
“As someone that worked for this incredible American company, and got to know them very well, I raced for @AnheuserBusch in the 80’s I agree with @realDonaldTrump,” tweeted Jenner. “Look at what the company does for so many Americans and their track record over the years. They made a huge mistake and have paid a large price. I think it is time to move forward – I am saying we should focus on big picture…agreeing with 45!”
Jenner’s plea was, unsurprisingly, not well received.
“Bud Light screwed up by working with a trans influencer, but they’re not woke. To prove it, here’s a message from OUR trans influencer,” mocked conservative journalist John Hasson.
