During the latest episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Lone Star State Senator had a few words for Bud Light, the NFL, and any other business that goes woke at the expense of its core customers.
“It is an amazing phenomenon how woke corporations have decided that their customers are idiots, that they look down on their customers,” Cruz said on an episode of his podcast “Verdict” this week.
“We’re seeing big business after big business embrace the radical left, embrace a left-wing agenda in this case someone who’s transgender, put them forth as the spokesperson for Bud Light,” he said. “When I saw this whole thing, my first thought was, ‘Have they ever met a typical Bud Light drinker?’”
“By the way we saw this with the NFL. The NFL likewise looks down on the typical fan who goes to an NFL game,” Cruz continued. “And I gotta say it’s making people pissed off. What’s interesting is the backlash in a lot of instances, it seems that the right is not very good at boycotts. And so companies feel they can do this with impunity. This Bud Light issue is getting some real traction it seems to me. And the phrase, ‘Go woke, Go broke.’ Listen, I think this has gone beyond just Twitter to people saying, ‘You know what, there are other beers on the market.’”
