Kid Rock Guns Down Four Cases of Bud Light

In response to Bud Light’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, the MAGA-branded musician laid waste to some beer cans.

Right wing media has widely covered the partnership between Anhueser-Bush and trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, with incredulous articles in the usual places. The Daily Wire was early to the story, reporting on outraged conservatives posting plans to boycott the iconic beverage of American dirtbags on social media, even before the partnership had been officially confirmed. Fox News later secured an official comment from the manufacturer, confirming the existence of a small number of commemorative cans with Mulvaney’s face on them:

"This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public," an Anheuser-Bushch spokesperson told Fox News.

Among those determined not to let the partnership of a light beer brand and a famous trans woman go unanswered was Kid Rock, aka Robert James Ritchie, who posted an instagram video of himself in a field shooting open four cases of Bud Light cans with a rifle. Rock, wearing a light blue MAGA hat, did not reference Mulvaney directly, allowing the stone-cold massacre of 48 cans of warm beer to do his talking for him. Rock concluded the video with “Fuck Bud Light and fuck Anheuser-Bush.”

For those unfamiliar with his ouevre, Rock is best known for his rap-rock act which blended the aesthetics of cowboy and pimp and became briefly popular in the late 1990s.
