Former\u00a0President Trump<\/a>\u00a0rushed to Bud Light’s defense on Tuesday as a lobbyist from its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, is scheduled to host a fundraiser for him.<\/p>\n

“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!”<\/p>\n

Trump’s statement came in response to the Bud Light boycott that battered the company after its disastrous promotion of transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney last year.<\/p>\n

It also came shortly before Jeff Miller, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist representing Anheuser-Busch, is slated to host a fundraiser for him next month.<\/p>\n

According to Politico, which\u00a0first reported<\/a>\u00a0the event, Miller’s fundraiser for Trump includes some tickets for $10,000 apiece. The lobbyist announced the event on social media Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Miller’s firm, meanwhile, collected $260,000 from Anheuser-Busch in 2023 and increased its fee around the time the Mulvaney backlash ensued, the publication noted.<\/p>\n

Bud Light is still encountering problems luring customers back to\u00a0its beer<\/a>. Its sales were down 29.9% year-over-year for the week ending Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

To win back customers,\u00a0the brand created<\/a>\u00a0a 60-second advertisement that will air during the Super Bowl this Sunday. The campaign, dubbed “Easy Night Out,” focuses on friends who encounter a “Bud Light Genie” that grants them wishes during a night out, including having Bud Lights magically appear.<\/p>\n

Trump’s campaign and Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
