The good news is, Ted Cruz appears to have lost interest the “Barbie” movie. The bad news is, he's shifted back to Bud Light and a trans influencer.
, which led to conservative apoplexy because ... well, it’s not altogether clear why. Apparently, much of the right doesn’t believe trans people should be involved in promotional campaigns with beer companies.
For the junior senator from Texas, however, those reactions didn’t go quite far enough. It’s why Cruz wrote to the Anheuser-Busch CEO a few months ago, insisting that Bud Light’s March Madness partnership with a trans influencer “warrants detailed oversight by Congress” — no, seriously, that’s what it said — and to that end, he made a series of document requests.
So, he’s trying again. In fact, in his new correspondence, the senator wrote, “The level of cooperation the Committee receives will bear significantly on my assessment of whether this is part of a broader problem across the Anheuser-Busch InBev product line and whether changes to federal law are necessary to prohibit Anheuser-Busch InBev from marketing beer to children.”
Stepping back, there are a handful of key details to keep in mind. The first is that it’s never been clear why, exactly, the senator believes Bud Light was marketing beer to minors. Dylan Mulvaney is an adult. Herrelated to a basketball tournament featuring other adults. At no point, as part of this marketing campaign, did she or the company make any reference to minors. I’m still at a loss to understand the reasoning behind the senator’s complaints.
