Bud Light continues to try every means possible short of apologizing to their once-loyal consumers for partnering with Dylan Mulvaney, a 26-year-old biological male who now identifies as a young girl, and while the sales remain anemic their rehabilitation effort got an unexpected boost this week on Fox News.
Folds of Honor CEO Dan Rooney appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Monday to talk about his organization helping provide scholarships for veterans and Rooney took care to promote Bud Light.
“So, Dan as people look in on this 4th of July weekend, how can they help you help other families like the Katzenbergs?” Fox News cohost Doocy asked Rooney after a focus on some of the group’s efforts.
“Well, you know, people don’t realize that Folds of Honor started above our garage,” Rooney replied. “You know, my wife and I, my career as an F-16 pilot, and 13 years ago I reached out to this company, Anheuser-Busch, and they said, ‘Hey, we believe in you.’”
“And in its core, Folds is about believing in people. So they believe in themselves. And Anheuser-Busch did that for me. And we kicked off 13 years of a partnership with them. They’ve donated $22 million.” Rooney continued. “We’ve got an awesome new product here coming out, so people literally can crack a cold Budweiser, a Bud Light, and celebrate their freedoms, but also provide educational scholarships to the military and first responder families who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we enjoy.”
And he wasn’t finished selling Budweiser in support of his cause, as Rooney concluded: “That’s a great, easy way to say I love my country is crack a cold Budweiser and support a military or first responder family.”
In what some may suggest was Fox News living up to its “fair and balanced” tagline, the network shared a video later Monday morning of Kid Rock fans in Nashville being asked what they are drinking: “BORN FREE: Kid Rock fans tell Fox News what beer they’re drinking — or not drinking — this July 4th.”

Kid Rock, as you may know, famously opened fire on cases of Bud Light when the Dylan Mulvaney controversy first exploded, swearing off the beer forever more.
Meanwhile, Bud Light keeps trying to appeal to America’s sense of loyalty and patriotism as if nothing ever happened:
