‘My Ancestors Would Have Rolled Over In Their Graves': Son of Auggie Busch Blasts Dylan Mulvaney Ad
2023-08-07
[Daily Caller] An heir to the Anheuser-Busch fortune spoke out against the company’s decision to partner with transgender activist and social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, claiming it would have not sat well with his ancestors.

Billy Busch, heir to the Anheuser-Busch (AB) fortune, told TMZ Live his ancestors would have "rolled over in their graves" knowing the company they built had wandered into the maelstrom of divisive politics by featuring a transgender activist on one of their beer cans.

"They were very patriotic — they loved this country and what it stood for. They believed that transgender, gays — that sort of thing — was all a very personal issue. They loved this country because it is a free country and people are allowed to do what they want, but it was never meant to be on a beer can and never meant to be pushed into people’s faces," Busch stated.

#8  ^ I do get farmers need markets for their crops, but if they can't figure out AB is problematic as a tie-up, well, good luck to them.

#7  Seen at a store around central Kansas:

"Support your local farmers. Drink Budweiser."

First, nothing but corn for days in that part of the state.

Second, AB is in support of shutting down their local Dutch farmers.

Furthermore, the latest Busch quirky ha ha advertisements are dumb.

#6  They believed that the gay and transgender stuff was just something that happened when their customers got too loaded so they reduced the alcohol content in their beer accordingly.

#4  Yes, Billy. Your family was so patriotic it sold out an American concern to a European outfit.
