Whoopi Goldberg roasts Anheuser-Busch for hiding behind sneaky cover-up in Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light drama

'You have every right and we have every right to buy it if we like it. Don't let them scare you,' Whoopi Goldberg said to the brewing company

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Whoopi Goldberg and her ‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin have called out Anheuser-Busch after it seemed to tone down the Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light controversy by releasing the famous Clydesdale horse. Starting the Hot Topic debate, Goldberg reportedly first asked a question to the people, who are boycotting the beer.

According to the Daily Mail, Goldberg stated, “What are you so angry about? Beer does not have a - I mean, it's not a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn't have a belief system. It's just beer!” Hostin then said, “So now all of a sudden they unleash the Clydesdale horses, like ‘let’s get the horses out because the horses are so much more American than trans people,’” referring to the latest advertisement by Budweiser, whose parent company is also Anheuser-Busch.

'Don’t let them scare you'

The ad, which was supposedly created to cover up Dylan Mulvaney-Bud Light controversy, shows the horse moving around Western landscapes and passing by some iconic landmarks, like the Brooklyn Bridge and Lincoln Memorial. The one-minute video ended with a voiceover that declares, “This is the story of the American spirit.”

The debate over the Bud Light disputation was ended by Goldberg, who added, “Listen Budweiser, we’re all Americans here. We appreciate your beer whether it’s light or regular…Don’t let them scare you. Let us scare you.” This comes as Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth appeared to apologize for the whole drama.

He reportedly 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. My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work, and respect for one another.”

“As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage. I care deeply about this country, this company, our brand, and our partners. I spend much of my time traveling across America, listening to and learning from our customers, distributors, and others,” Whitworth added.

'Smart play Budweiser but it’s not going to work'

Meanwhile, the new ad including the Clydesdale has not also been taken well by many online as a retired mixed martial artist Tim Kennedy tweeted, “Sorry… this ship has already sailed. You should’ve supported the hard-working middle class that once were proud to kick back after a long day of work.” Further, a user wrote, “They are doubling down on their pro American marketing efforts in an attempt to get people to forget their blunder. Smart play Budweiser but it’s not going to work.”

Crime studier Philip Holloway stated, “Don’t look now @AnheuserBusch @budweiserusa but the Clydesdale has already left the barn. The train has sailed, the ship has left the station.” “No amount Clydesdales and American Flags will fix the damage done with your customers. Nobody will ever forget you used a grown man who dresses like a little girl and mocks women to advertise beer,” a tweet read.
