MAGA World Outraged After Kid Rock Seen Drinking Bud Light

Is it a case of drink as a say, not as I do?

After loudly calling for a boycott of the popular beer brand after trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney did a social media post endorsing the product in April, Kid Rock "was spotted sipping on a cold Bud Light while attending a Colt Ford concert in Nashville on Thursday, August 17, according to photos obtained by TMZ. Rock looked relaxed as he drank the alcoholic refreshment and laughed with friends, who also enjoyed the blue-canned beer," writes US Weekly.

Last April Rock famously took Bud Light cans to a shooting range and used them for target practice.

"Grandpa's feeling a little frisky today. Let me say something to all you and be as clear and concise as possible," Rock said in the Twitter clip before taking aim at the beverages with a firearm. He then turned back to the camera, stating, " F–k Bud Light and f–k [brewing company] Anheuser-Busch."

Just days before the post Mulvaney "appeared in sponsored post for Bud Light as part of the company's March Madness campaign. The ensuing backlash led to "more bullying and transphobia than I ever could've imagined," she said in an Instagram video the following month.

Instead of getting unequivocal support from Anheuser-Busch, the beer giant appeared to abandon her, despite the numerous threats against her life. "Weeks after Mulvaney's post – in which she promoted Bud Light's contest to win $15,000 – Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a statement saying the company "never intended to be a part of a discussion that divides people," writes US Weekly.

Whitworth's statement continued: "As the CEO of a company founded in America's heartland more than 165 years ago, I am responsible for ensuring every consumer feels proud of the beer we brew. We're honored to be part of the fabric of this country," Whitworth said, adding that instead of any division, "we are in the business of bringing people together over a beer."

Of the controversy, Mulvaney later said that "for a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all. The hate doesn't end with me," she continued. "It has serious and grave consequences for the rest of our community."

Needless to say, X lit up with comments about Kid Rock's beverage choices:
