The Anheuser-Busch brand continues to feel the devastating effects of using transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney to head its brand after the Budweiser tent at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota stood empty.
The video of the empty Budweiser tent quickly went viral, showing a vacant lot of branded booths.
According to its website, Budweiser declared itself the official sponsor of this year’s motorcycle event.

The local Budweiser distributor, Quality Brands of the Black Hills, has been associated with The Rally for more than 50 years. Budweiser and its distributor partners are long-time supporters of motorcycle events nationwide.
Bud Light has suffered since partnering with Dylan Mulvaney, forcing the company to lay off hundreds of workers.
“While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our organization continues to be set for future long-term success,” Anheuser-Busch Chief Executive Brendan Whitworth said in a written statement.
“These corporate structure changes will enable our teams to focus on what we do best—brewing great beer for everyone.”
Heir to the Anheuser-Busch beer empire, Billy Busch, said that his ancestors would have “rolled in their graves” over Bud Light’s recent decision.
“I think my family — my ancestors would have rolled over in their graves,” Busch told TMZ.
“They believed that transgender, gays, that sort of thing was all a very personal issue. They loved this country because it is a free country and people are allowed to do what they want, but it was never meant to be on a beer can and never meant to be pushed in people’s faces.”
Busch said that the type of customers who drink Bud Light are “common folk” who work hard every day, not to have ‘woke’ political messaging shoved in their faces.
“You know, I think people who drink beer, I think they’re your common folk. I think they are the blue-collar worker who goes and works hard every single day,” Busch said.
“The last thing they want to push down their throat or to be drinking is a beer can with that kind of message on it. I just don’t think that’s what they’re looking for,”
he said.
“They want their beer to be truly American, truly patriotic, as it always has been. Truly, America’s beer, which Bud Light was and probably isn’t any longer,” he added.

The beer isn’t even owned in America anymore.
f**k Joe Biden!
Are there any other beers at Sturgis?
Sounds like Billy gets it, but I’ve been around enough corporate “leaders” to know that what is portrayed in public is quite different from what they truly believe. I don’t trust any of them.
Funny, a different outlet’s headline on the same subject claimed the Bud tent ‘appeared’ empty. Looks pretty empty to me.
Never forget what happened at Sturgis a few years ago when the Commies tried to interrupt their party!
The Sturgis cops had to save them!
Puke bikers and their noise makers can SUCK IT
But you actually do
Is that you, little dylan? MUWAHAHA!
Even when losing billions. They refuse to apologize. Now that is political extremism and dedication to the leftist cause . . .
We the people do not want q***r c**p shoved down out throats and are sick of it. You see homos on TV now, kissing in front of kids. It’s sickening and now Budweiser is paying the price for their woke bullshit. This should be taught in every marketing class in the whole world of what not to do.
Aren’t there any +r@nny bikers at Sturgis? Maybe they all took a wrong turn at Hoboken and are arriving late to have the a Bud.
