Bud Light Sponsors White House UFC Match After Mulvaney Backlash
Bud Light has been revealed as an official sponsor of the upcoming White House cage match, scheduled for the South Lawn to celebrate Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This sponsorship follows Bud Light’s previous controversy with conservatives over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The event, which features seven UFC fights and has reportedly cost over $60 million to construct, is met with widespread public disapproval, with only 16% of Americans finding it acceptable. This association marks a significant shift for Bud Light, which, along with parent company Anheuser-Busch, has recently distanced itself from LGBTQ+ initiatives, notably by partnering with comedian Shane Gillis.
