Tone Deaf RNC Offers Bud Light at Spring Meeting
During the Republican National Committee’s big donor meeting earlier this month, Bud Light was offered as a beverage. This was a week after boycotts of the drink had begun following Anheuser-Busch taking on transvestite Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesperson.

In fairness, hotels generally have full control over catering of these events with menu requests made weeks or even months ahead. With that said, attention to detail is always important and the RNC clearly either ignored their base or didn’t pay attention to what was being served at their event.
A bit of background: Anheuser-Busch contributes to both political parties, but it contributes substantially more to the GOP. For this reason, Donald Trump Jr. came out and said that righties shouldn't boycott Bud Light and other A-B products. This message did not go over well with the voter base, who kept right on boycotting. Trump Jr. and the RNC seem unaware of how the hoi polloi feel, which is never a good sign.
