Republican U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz called out the CEO of Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch over his recent comments defending the brand's support for the LGBTQ+ community.
"Bud Light has supported LGBTQ since 1998, so that's 25 years," Whitworth said in the interview.
"As we've said from the beginning, we'll continue to support the communities and organizations that we've supported for decades. "But as we move forward, you know, we want to focus on what we do best, which is brewing great beer for everyone, listening to our consumers, being humble and listening to them, making sure that we do right by our employees, take care and support our partners and ultimately make an impact in the communities that we serve."This response is terrible. Tone deaf.
