To all of you far-right snowflakes who now refuse to drink Anheuser-Busch products like Budweiser or Bud Light now that they appear to support transgender star Dylan Mulvaney, good luck finding another beer.

I don’t drink, but occasionally have beer in my house to serve to guests, but I will no longer have any bud light or Budweiser corporation owned beers in my house. This has gone too far. pic.twitter.com/FML65F8dRW

Mulvaney met with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to receive a letter of congratulations on having spent a full year documenting the gender change on social media. Mulvaney has had collaborations with Kitchen Aid, Ulta and Maybelline.
In October 2022, Mulvaney had the opportunity to interview President Joe Biden. The topic of the discussion majorly was the increase in anti-trans legislation being passed by states and how gender-affirming healthcare was being banned.
According to a DailyMail report from November 2022, Mulvaney was likely to make around $1 million in endorsement deals in 2021 alone.
