'Anheuser-Busch had insulted women'
Earlier while discussing Bud Light CEO Brendan Whitworth's flat apology, Kelly said, “This person who's on their beer can has made a mockery of womanhood and girlhood for literally the past year and has been celebrated by far-lefties all across the country. But to see what's supposed to be a mainstream beer company do was a bridge too far. That's why they're having the reaction they are. Michael Knowles agreed with Kelly’s take on the controversy and added, “By sponsoring Mulvaney, 'Budweiser (also made by Anheuser-Busch) had insulted women, but by issuing this statement, they've insulted Americans.”
'Pathetic, rambling, empty-air sandwich'
Whitworth in a statement had said, “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.” The 52-year-old reacted to the public apology, “Pathetic, rambling, empty-air sandwich if — I can't even call it an apology — an attempt to dissuade people from hating his company and him. It was an utter fail.”
