As consumer outrage grows over Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney partnership, other woke companies are jumping on board and inking deals with Dylan as well. Among them is sportswear giant Nike, which is now partnering with Dylan to sell sports bras.
Megyn Kelly, during a recent episode of her Sirius XM show, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” skewered the deal when speaking with political commentators Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson. Specifically, she hammered Nike for making Mulvaney the face of its sports bra lineup despite being “non-breasted,” saying:
“Nike sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney now for f****ing sports bra. I’m sorry, Dylan doesn’t have breasts. Dylan’s been taking some sort of a hormone that has turned Dylan into some — I don’t know what’s happening there. But those are not breasts.”
“And Dylan doesn’t need any sort of a bra — never mind a sports bra. The three ladies on this program right now have six boobs between us, and we actually know what it’s like to wear a bra, and no one would be inspired to buy one based on non-breasted Dylan Mulvaney prancing around in a Nike sports bra.”
Continuing, Kelly went on to say that it looks like Mulvaney has “an eating disorder” and shouldn’t be “anybody’s spokesperson for anything. If there were a woman who looked like that, she couldn’t get an endorsement because they say she clearly is unwell.”
Watch her here:
Jashinsky, adding to what Kelly said, claimed the move by Nike was a “great glimpse into how divorced a lot of the decisions these big companies make — especially investment firms make. … They’re not in touch with the market. They’re completely divorced from market forces.”
Kelly also took issue with the claim that “trans women are women,” saying, “No … they’re not. Sorry. I mean, I know I’m being vulgar today, but this whole topic is bringing it up. Like, Trans women really are ‘chicks with d****.’ It’s true. It’s a short, catchy, catchphrase, but it’s really what’s happening.” Continuing, she added, “They’re not women,” she added. “They’re fake women. Biological men masquerading as women.”
Despite the backlash against their partnership agreements with Mulvaney, the woke companies involved are yet to back down. Anheuser Busch, for instance, said, “From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”
And, while many conservatives have tried boycotting the company, some forget that Anheuser Busch owns many beer brands. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, for example, posted a video in which he said he was boycotting the company, but missed the cans of beer produced by another Anheuser Busch brand, as My San Antonio reported, saying:
Crenshaw (R-TX 2nd District) tried to join the boycott against Bud Light by posting a video on Instagram on Saturday, April 8. In his video, the Texas representative is seen walking over to his fridge, saying he was ready to throw away any Bud Light can because of their “stupid” ad campaign. However, there was none inside when he opened it.
When he didn’t find any, he said, “Alright, well I guess that was easy.” But, he did miss the many cans of Karbach inside his fridge. Karbach is owned by Bud Light’s parent company: Anheuser-Busch InBev. The brand acquired Karbach as its ninth craft brewery in 2016.
