TL;DR Summary

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a statement apologizing for the conservative backlash over a can of Bud Light commemorating transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney, but the statement failed to satisfy anyone. The right-wing backlash took shape within hours of Mulvaney's Instagram video showing off a can of Bud Light the company had sent her, personalized with an image of her face to celebrate the first anniversary of her coming out. It is unclear whether the protest ever expanded beyond right-wing personalities, or whether the campaign seriously hurt the market share of Anheuser-Busch.
