Ted Cruz has announced that he is wanting to launch an investigation into Bud Light
over their promotion that they did a one-off promotion with transgender influencer Dylan
Mulvaney.
Ted Cruz has sent a letter along with Republican Senator Marshall Blackburn to Bud Light demanding
that they immediately apologize for this little stunt they pulled over a month ago because
Ted Cruz is still, for some reason unhappy about it, like the rest of the Republican
Party has already moved on to the next outrage of the day.
But Ted Cruz is still harping on the Bud Light thing a little bit, uh, uh, too late after
the fact.
But here is what Cruz and Blackburn said in their letter to Bud Light.
We would urge you in your capacity at Anheuser-Busch to avoid a lengthy investigation by the Beer
Institute.
By instead having Anheuser-Busch publicly sever its relationship with Dylan Mulvaney
publicly apologized to the American people for marketing alcoholic beverages to minors
and direct Dylan Mulvaney to remove any Anheuser-Busch content from his social media platforms.
And of course, they're calling Dylan Mulvaney, his platforms instead of her platforms because
hey, why not be a for no reason?
Right?
They continue, um, they, they focus their complaint on the title of Moi's TikTok series,
days of Girlhood.
Uh, so then they continue, it says the use of the phrase Girlhood was not a slip of the
tongue, but rather emblematic of a series of Moi's online content that was specifically
used to target market two and attract an audience of young people who are all well below the
legal drinking age in the United States.
So your beef allegedly is, is not because it's a transgender influencer, right?
You don't care about that.
Um, it's because this was allegedly somehow marketed towards children.
Now that's really funny because I don't remember either of you speaking out when Jewel, uh,
was just popped for millions and millions and millions of dollars for marketing their
products to children.
I don't remember Republicans speaking out when the tobacco industry was marketing to
children.
Like y'all never cared about any of that stuff at all.
But now suddenly you're so worried about the kids that you can't have this influencer from
social media promoting a beer on a channel that is not necessarily designed for kids
just because she puts out a series that that may talk to kids.
That doesn't mean, look, I found out recently, I have kids in elementary school that watch
Ring a Fire, and I love it , but I'm not creating content for children.
So that's not the same thing.
If you were talking about beer commercials being run on the Disney Channel, then yeah,
maybe that's an issue.
But you do realize that children watch other programs as well.
I mean, you can be watching r uh, reruns of the Big Bang Theory and you're gonna see beer
commercials.
You could be watching a sports game.
Kids love sports and they're gonna show you lots of beer commercials.
Ted, you're gonna investigate those people too.
No, you're not.
Because this isn't actually about marketing to children.
This is your attempt to punish a company for doing a tiny little one-off promotion with
a transgender influencer who nobody would've even noticed if your party hadn't freaked
the F out about it.
Right?
Like that's what's happening here.
The only reason there's a backlash is because y'all created a backlash.
The smart thing for y'all to have done would've been to just totally ignore it.
Instead, you are the ones who brought people's attention to this to begin with and made it
a deal.
I wouldn't have even known it happened.
I don't think most people in progressive media would've known this was happening if Republicans
hadn't freaked the hell out about it because they're weak little snowflakes that can't
handle any kind of thing that differs from what they like.
Ted Cruz went even further on Twitter.
By the way, Dylan Mulvey's content is directed at a younger audience.
He bought Barbie dolls and role played as a six-year-old named Eloise.
Bud Light is an adult beverage.
Anheuser-Busch needs to answer our questions about their partnership with Mulvaney role
played as a six year old girl.
It's called Acting Ted.
It's called acting.
And you know that because I think at one point you actually wanted to be an actor.
So you're saying that any actor in the United States that has made a movie that is, you
know, basically rated G or pg, if any of them are ever seen drinking alcohol or promoting
alcohol, which hey, we do have plenty that do that.
Um, they should all be investigated too, Ted, cuz I didn't see their names in your letter,
but they've done the exact same thing that you're accusing Dylan Mulvaney of Now.
I wonder what the difference could be, right?
You've got big time celebrities that actually have their own brands of alcohol and they
promote it on their social media where they have lots of children following them.
I don't see their names mentioned in there.
Did you go after George Clooney?
Did you go after Ryan Reynolds?
Hmm?
No, you didn't.
Okay.
So yeah, we know exactly what this is.
A fragile, weak little man named Ted Cruz, who desperately wants to be president of the
United States.
So he's hopping on the bandwagon of the Hate Bud Light thing, and he wants to launch an
investigation to show Republicans that I can do culture war stuff too, but nobody's buying
it.
And the most important thing, you're about a month too late because most of the outrage
has kind of already passed.
