Musician Kid Rock said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” that he did not want the Republican Party to be all about “cancel culture and boycotts.”
The entertainer helped incite a boycott after Bud Light sent a personalized case of beer to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
He said he believed in forgiveness, adding that the makers of Bud Light had “made a mistake.”
Anchor Sean Hannity said, “I want the drivers back to work. I want the warehouse workers back to work, the guys loading the trucks back to work because they didn’t do this.”
Rock said, “What nobody has talked about, you know people say, well, they can get other jobs. What about their livelihoods?”
Hannity said, “These are high-paying career jobs.”
Rock said, “I know people that work there and it’s not so cool to be wearing around that blue shirt anymore, going places. This is why they have a problem right now, it’s like, I can let the thing go.”
He continued, “As a conservative and importantly a patriot, I don’t want to be in the party of cancel cultures and boycotts that ultimately hurt woking class people, that have no dogs, especially in this fight. I didn’t have a dog in this fight.”
Rock added, “As a God-fearing man, as a Christian, I have to believe in forgiveness. They made a mistake, all right. What do you want, hold their head under water and drown them and kill people’s jobs? I don’t want to do that. But I hope—at the same time, I don’t want to be their biggest cheerleader. I want them to show me something to get me back as a consumer, as a drinker.”
Watch:
Bud Light you are dead to me!
AB is in a hell of their own making. All they had to do was say they made a mistake and we’re sorry and that would have been the end of it. Instead they dug their heels in and tried to justify what they did. Marketing 101 is know your customers but instead they pandered to a very small percentage of people who in reality, don’t even drink beer. If you are the only game in town, you can do stuff like this but there are lots of other beers to drink. I suggest the AB employees go work for them.
To bad AB was not smart enough to admit they were wrong. Instead they doubled down.
Sorry Kid Rock. This is why Republicans can’t seem to get their heads out of their asses. Pick a cause and stand behind it!!!!! The Democrats seem to be able to do it all the time. I will not bend on this trans issue – period!!!!!
