A beer distributor is worried he may get laid off as Bud Light sales stall following backlash for partnering up with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney.
The man, who claimed to be a distributor affiliated with Anheuser-Busch, recorded himself at a store lamenting about an apparent drop in sales amid the boycott.
“The sole product of the company I work for is Anheuser-Busch products,” the man said, showing shelves fully stocked with Anheuser-Busch products. “So with all this cancelling going on, I’ve never seen such little sales [as] in this past few days.”

“It’s sad because when people don’t buy this beer, I don’t make money, and I can’t feed my family,” he said. “So it’s kind of heartbreaking, I guess that Anheuser-Busch did what they did. They don’t know their clientele.
“Thanks Anheuser-Busch. I may not be able to feed my family coming up soon,” he added.
Bug Light last week partnered with Mulvaney, unveiling his face on its cans and released promos featuring Mulvaney as a spokesman, seemingly showing solidarity for the LGBT community after a trans shooter mowed down 3 children and 3 adults at a Christian school in Nashville.

The beer producer’s ad campaign backfired spectacularly, with celebrities like Kid Rock and Travis Tritt even calling for a boycott of Anheuser-Busch products.
