'We like our beer cold, not woke': Sanders trolls Bud Light, capitalizes on brand backlash with 'REAL WOMEN OF POLITICS' koozies



Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) is trolling Bud Light with a video advertising "REAL WOMEN OF POLITICS," koozies.

The ad, which is an apparent play on the old "REAL MEN of GENIUS" ads, suggests that "you can salute the real women of politics" at barbeques and tailgates, but if the koozie "covers up the label of a big woke company, well, that works too."

Each of the koozies bears the message "REAL WOMAN" and features one of four female Republican governors, including either, Sanders, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, or Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

"We like our beer cold, not woke," Sanders tweeted.

Sanders, who took office earlier this year after winning election in the state's 2022 gubernatorial contest, is the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — she previously served as White House press secretary during a portion of President Donald Trump's tenure in office.

Anheuser-Busch has been facing backlash after enlisting transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney to advertise Bud Light.

GOP presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has also sought to capitalize on the wave of anti-Bud Light sentiment by selling "BUD RIGHT" koozies that bear the messages "TRUTH OVER RELATIVISM" and "COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS."

A video shared on the DeSantis War Room Twitter account also spoofed the old ad campaign by focusing on the "real men of women's sports" — the video directs people to an online store where they can purchase Team DeSantis "Freedom Heavy" merchandise.

"In Florida, girls play girls' sports and boys play boys' sports. That's why we are replacing Bud Light with FREEDOM HEAVY," a tweet states.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, is widely viewed as a figure who might launch a White House bid.

\u201cIn Florida, girls play girls\u2019 sports and boys play boys\u2019 sports. \n\nThat\u2019s why we are replacing Bud Light with FREEDOM HEAVY \ud83c\udf7b\ud83d\udc0a \u2026 made 100% woke-free.\u201d

'Men are men & women are women': Vivek Ramaswamy capitalizes on Bud Light controversy by selling 'BUD RIGHT' koozies



Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and author who announced a presidential bid earlier this year, is capitalizing on the recent Bud Light controversy by selling "BUD RIGHT" koozies — the beer brand has been facing significant backlash for enlisting Dylan Mulvaney, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman, to advertise the product.

"Get Bud Right: there are *two* genders. Men are men & women are women. Don't apologize for the truth.
Ditch your next @budlight 24-pack. Donate the cost and get His & Her exclusive campaign koozies," Ramaswamy tweeted.

In addition to bearing the words "BUD RIGHT," the koozies also feature Ramaswamy's likeness and the messages "TRUTH OVER RELATIVISM" and "COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS."

Nike recently earned the ire of many consumers by having Mulvaney promote a sports bra and leggings.

Ramaswamy has suggested that Mulvaney is in need of "mental health care."

"One of the goals of my candidacy for president of the United States is to close the gap between what people are willing to say behind closed doors versus what they say in public. In that spirit: Dylan Mulvaney needs mental health care, not endorsement deals," he tweeted.

Ramaswamy has also called for prohibiting puberty blockers and genital mutilation for minors.

"Ban genital mutilation & puberty blockers before age 18. Treat gender dysphoria as a mental health disorder. Ban addictive social media before age 16. Protect our children *now,* " he tweeted. "A mom or dad trying to change the gender of their child is munchausen by proxy. It's not compassion. It's abuse. Most people agree with this but feel afraid to say it out loud," he declared in another tweet.

Former President Donald Trump, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley are also vying for the GOP presidential nomination. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced a presidential exploratory committee on Wednesday, a move that indicates that he may eventually jump into the fray as well.
