Ted Cruz rails against Anheuser-Busch for stonewalling his probe of partnership with Dylan Mulvaney

[HARK!]

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is intensifying demands that Anheuser-Busch InBev hand over a trove of documents for his investigation of whether Bud Lite’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney was marketing beer to children.

The requested documents include communications between the company and Dylan Mulvaney, scripts for social media content, the company’s corporate policy for advertising on social media, and any data that the beer giant possessed on the age demographics of Dylan Mulvaney’s social media following.

They can use any money that they might get from minors buying their product, to help pay the fines and penalties.

This is harassment against the beer company. Just because they hired a transgender woman, that's over 21 years old.

More headline-grabbing grandstanding to keep from becoming irrelevant. Texas should be proud.

The Commission recommended additional improvements, including adoption of better systems for external review

How is a malted beverage company doing ads with an over 21yo transwoman at all like a tobacco company marketing to children?

Well let's be scientific about it, and wait to see those subpoenaed demographics.

When did the shift into “let’s get government to look at what business is doing, in case there’s ‘something’ there?” become a conservative value?

If a transwoman can cause teen boys to be tempted to drink beer then Super Bowl commercials are over the top in temptations. All that hanging with the guys, football, snacks, and beer, so cool.
One this year was done like a video game, Coors Light and Miller Lite. Now that might appeal to teens?

I don't recall that shift ever happening. What does that have to do with protecting children from poisoning themselves? Are Liberal values in opposition to protecting children from poisons?

The moralistic busybody wing of the Republican party finally won out.

The moralistic busybody wing of the Republican party finally won out.

It’s not even busybody moralizing. It’s straight up bigotry and hateful propagandizing. When Cruz subpoenas similar records from the NFL, NBA, and NASCAR, then maybe I’ll consider the possibility that he’s actually concerned with marketing alcohol to children.

I didn't realize that the NFL, NBA, and NASCAR were producing alcohol commercials. Can you post one; or is this just empty rhetoric?

No they are just massive billboard space for advertising alcohol, with mass audiences of children.

So is every billboard on the highway. That's why it's important that alcohol companies shouldn't create ads that target children.
