'Skit from SNL': Sarah Sanders trolled over ad with her face on beer can amid Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light row

The new ad promotes 'koozie starting pack' featuring the GOP's female governors

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has released a new digital ad amid the controversy around Bud Light's decision to partner with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. "Real women don't have to fake it," Sanders wrote on Twitter, posting a video featuring the GOP's female governors.

"Today we salute all the real women leaders of this great country," a narrator is heard saying. "Real women. Doing real things," the ad adds, showing a picture of Sanders' face on a beer can that resembles Bud Light. "Some big companies can't tell the difference between real and fake anymore. That's why we're introducing the real women of politics koozie," the ad says, subtly referencing Bud Light.

The ad promotes a "koozie starting pack" featuring the GOP's female governors, including Kay Ivey of Alabama, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, and Sanders. Bud Light's partnership with controversial transgender TikTok star Mulvaney on April 1 resulted in a nationwide boycott of the beer company. It cost the company over $6 billion. It was reported that Bud Light marketing executive Alissa Heinerscheid was now taking a leave of absence.

'Whoever you got to produce this pranked you'

Sanders is being trolled on social media for the ad. "Whoever you got to produce this pranked you, hardcore, and you can't even tell. It's glorious," one user wrote, while another said, "It's like a GOP-horror-comedy directed by Marge, produced by Kari Lake, written by Boebert (if she knew how to write) and enjoyed by Mike Lindell in his dark basement." "This is real?!! Tell me this isn’t real. Please," said one user. "Bwahahahahahahaha I thought this was a skit from SNL!" One user wrote. One said, "This whole "real women" thing just seems like someone picking a fight where there isn't one. Like why? Why do some people care so much? Why aren't they just happy their life is so much easier for being born the gender they identify with, I mean I think it's wildly convenient."

'This is cringe to the max'

"Real women aren’t intimidated or scared of trans women. We know who we are and we welcome our sisters . Real women want a united America not a divided America," a user said. Another wrote, "I'm a huge supporter of you and so glad you're our Governor but... this is cringe to the max. Have a talk with the marketing team and go back to the drawing board." One user said, "I thought this was a parody or a piece produced for Saturday Night Live, then realized with astonishment it is real. Oh my." "Real women don't have to make videos telling everyone they are real women," said one.
