Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Ted Cruz sent a letter to the Anheuser-Busch CEO to demand the company comply with the committee's probe into the Dylan Mulvaney controversy.
Senate Commerce Committee, R-Texas, demanded that beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev cooperate with the committee's probe"regarding marketing alcohol to children."
Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Ted Cruz, R-Texas, demanded that beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev cooperate with the committee's probe"regarding marketing alcohol to children." Cruz also said Summers wrote in his dissenting opinion that AB"knew all this, or the company’s ‘leadership should have known,’ and found that Anheuser-Busch ‘violated the Code as to advertising and marketing to people below the legal drinking age.’"
"Anheuser-Busch’s failure to cooperate and blatant disregard for U.S. congressional oversight is unacceptable. Given your broader responsibility for the Anheuser-Busch InBev portfolio of more than 500 brands, I trust you share my sincere concern with the possibility that Anheuser-Busch is marketing alcohol to children and will direct Anheuser-Busch to cooperate immediately with the Commerce Committee’s investigation.
"There are currently no federal laws against advertising alcohol to minors, in part because of the beer industry’s professed commitment to self-regulation. As Ranking Member on the Commerce Committee, it is my duty to ensure that the Beer Institute’s private regulatory regime is working; if it is not, then our Committee may be forced to consider legislating to protect consumers, including impressionable children.
The Texas Republican said his"May 17th letter was initially met with a roughly page-long unsigned response from Anheuser-Busch failing to provide any documents" and that"counsel to Anheuser-Busch refused to provide any documents, citing the then-ongoing CCRB review" in"subsequent communications with the Committee."
