Public Not Impressed with Budweiser’s New ‘American Spirit’ Ad: ‘Fire Everyone Involved’

As Americans continue to revile and reject Anheuser-Busch products due to the company’s partnership with 🏳️‍⚧️Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, the company trotted out its iconic Clydesdales in a new advertisement Friday trying to re-establish its image as a beer with deep American roots.

But the initial reaction on social media was that Americans are not forgetting the controversy that erupted after Bud Light put Mulvaney’s image on a beer can.

“Is the horse trans now?” WISN-AM personality Dan O’Donnell tweeted.

The ad opens with a Clydesdale galloping across a mist-shrouded field of grain before showing the horse in a small-town street, passing a trucking company, a flag-raising, and traveling to places such as New York City and the Lincoln Memorial.

“Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted in the heart of America, found in a community where a handshake is a sure contract, brewed for those who found opportunity and challenge and hope in tomorrow, raised by generations willing to sit, share, risk, remember,” a narrator begins.

“This is a story bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit,” the narrator concludes.

The company’s critics were not amused, nor appeased.
