Budweiser ad touting Harley-Davidson-marked cans mocked following Mulvaney backlash
2023-06-02
[NYPOST] Anheuser-Busch is being accused of pandering to conservatives who have boycotted Bud Light by releasing a new Harley-Davidson-themed commercial for sister brand Budweiser.

The beer company, which has seen sales of Bud Light tank in recent weeks following the backlash over its partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
, recently released a Budweiser ad touting specially created cans with the Harley Davidson logo.

"The greatest legacies are built with grit and resilience — one detail at a time," the narrator of the commercial said in between footage of a mechanic tending to a Harley Davidson cycle of violence.

The commercial also cuts to shots of a can of Budweiser that bears the cycle of violence brand’s logo.

The mechanic depicted in the commercial wipes sweat from his brow as he shines a Harley-Davidson cycle of violence.

The narrator then urges consumers to buy "limited edition Harley-Davidson cans" — whose release was timed to mark 120 years since the Milwaukee-based cycle of violence company’s founding.

"For those who give everything to their craft, this Bud’s for you," the narrator said, ending the 23-second commercial.

Ironically, Mulvaney posted an image to her millions of social media followers showing a specially created can of Bud Light with her likeness.

The can, which was gifted to Mulvaney to mark the anniversary of her transition to womanhood, was never sold publicly, but the backlash was severe.

In the weeks following the Mulvaney blowup, Budweiser and Bud Light were accused of pandering to consumers by releasing patriotic-themed ads, including one featuring the iconic Clydesdale horses.

Reaction on social media to the latest Budweiser ad was largely negative.
