Don Jr asks to end the Bud Boycott.

Donald Trump Jr has called for an end to the boycott of Bud Light for their partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in a video posted on his Rumble channel.

During his message, Trump Jr emphasized the brewer's conservative credentials and saying it was wrong to 'blame the whole company for the inaction or the stupidity of someone in a marketing campaign that got woke as hell.'

Bud Light has been engulfed in a firestorm since Mulvaney on April 1 revealed that the beer company had made a special commemorative can to celebrate her year since transitioning.

Yet Trump Jr said he had researched Anheuser-Busch and saw they mainly donated to Republicans, and said his fellow conservatives sometimes had 'the tendency of — shooting first and aiming second.'

I was probably 18 or 19 the last time I had one.

There's plenty of beer that I actually like.

What a joke!

Of course, I HATE beer. Never touch the stuff, can't stand the taste or even the smell of it (and I live in Germany!).

As for Trump, Junior, he HAS no "fellow conservatives," since he is no conservative, himself. He is just another apolitical money-grubbing opportunist who latches onto whatever label he finds most convenient to him. I will grant him that shooting first and aiming second is a Republican trait, but that is the opposite of someone who is conservative. Conservative implies caution and patience, i.e. aiming first and shooting second--not exactly something associated with today's Republicans.
