Joe Rogan sees something in this boycott that no one else sees
Joe Rogan might see something in the Bud Light boycott that no one else sees.
In a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Rogan discusses the Bud Light boycott with fellow comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Ari Shaffir.
While his three guests believe people will forget about Bud Light’s campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Rogan disagrees.
“There’s never been a brand that’s been hit like this before. This is a big deal,” Rogan said.
According to the New York Post, Bud Light sales have just suffered their worst week ever, with a fall of 25.7%. This follows a 24.6% drop in sales just last week, and the sixth consecutive week sales have plummeted since the Mulvaney campaign went public on April 1.
Dave Rubin has seen the stats and agrees with Rogan, saying “I don’t think Bud Light is coming back from this in any functional way, any time soon.”
However, Shane Gillis is convinced that Pride Month will save Bud Light.
“I swear to God, though, they’re going to get saved this month. Every single company on earth is going to do a gay commercial, all of June,” Gillis says.
While both Rubin and Rogan believe the bleeding will not stop for Bud Light, Rubin agrees that most companies will still be doing their best to seem like LGBTQ allies.
“We know it’s coming,” Rubin says.
But some have already been facing backlash.
According to the Daily Wire, Target is now coming under fire for donating more than $2.1 million to GLSEN — a company that supports “affirming learning environments for LGBTQ youth” and activates “supportive educators.”
GLSEN is even actively promoted in Target’s online store.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher COWERS before woke mob over stance on Target boycott
The woke mob has claimed another victim.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass shared a video to his social media of Ryan Miller, a Christian influencer.
Now Bass is paying the price.
In that video, Miller made the case for boycotting Target by quoting Ephesians chapter five: “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful to even talk of the things that they do in secret.”
Miller believes that in order to “take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness,” one must stop giving one's money to corporations like Target, which target children.
Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why It Matters" is not amused.
While Bass simply shared the video, Gonzales can see why he’s in trouble.
“You’re not allowed to do that these days. The Alphabet Mafia rules all. You are to bend the knee to the rainbow at whatever the cost —your religion be damned. The only religion allowed to survive now is the total complete submission to the LGBT agenda,” she said.
Bass apologized for reposting the video, saying that he recognized it was “hurtful to the Pride community,” and that “the ballpark is for everyone.”
“Hmm, the ballpark is for everybody. Weird, because it certainly doesn’t sound like that. What it sounds like is that the ballpark is for anybody who goes along with woke nonsense,” Gonzales commented.
While Bass apologized, the Toronto Blue Jays are taking further steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
According to the Blue Jays, he will be attending diversity and inclusion training.
“Does he need to attend a workshop teaching him how to cater to mental illness and reject his religion to satisfy a tiny percentage of the population?” Gonzales mocked.
“I want to be clear,” she continued, “if you have a platform and you intend to share a message rejecting wokeism or the LGBT religion — do not back down, ever. The damage that is done by these cowards who walk their statements back with their tails tucked between their legs like a little bitch is far greater than if they would have just kept their mouths shut in the first place.”
