(LifeSiteNews) — Florida Republican governor and presumed presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis weighed in on the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney controversy this week, declaring that making “woke” corporations feel financial pressure is essential to dissuading their forays into left-wing activism.
The beer brand’s owner Anheuser-Busch has been under fire for a promotional partnership with Mulvaney, a male TikTok celebrity who “identifies” as a woman, in which it congratulated him on “365 days of womanhood” with commemorative Bud Light cans bearing his face. The news sparked a substantial backlash against the brand and its owners.
In a preview clip released Monday for an upcoming interview, DeSantis told Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson that he will never drink Bud Light again.
“Why would you want to drink Bud Light? I mean like honestly, that’s like them rubbing our faces in it,” he said. “These companies that do this, if they never have any response, they are just gonna keep doing it.”
Stay tuned for the full interview with @GovRonDeSantis — rolling in the motorcade from a Disney presser to a Wawa gas station to get an orange soda in Orlando.
