MAGA singer Kid Rock on Thursday accidentally wore a Budweiser hat to an interview with Fox News.

Kid Rock, who has frequently aligned with the far-right and was known to interact with Donald Trump during his term in the Oval Office, appeared on The Ingraham Angle, where he was asked about his hat.

The far-right staged a boycott of Anheuser Busch and particularly Bud Light following an ad campaign featuring transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney. Kid Rock helped promote this boycott, but as the outrage died down, he appeared to lose interest in it — and commenters on social media buried him in mockery over it....

ST. LOUIS — Anheuser-Busch InBev stock prices are inching closer to what they were last year before sales tanked, thanks at least in part to a recent endorsement by former President Donald Trump. Trump praised the company on social media on Tuesday, helping push Anheuser-Busch stock prices up about $2, or almost 3%, that day. And they have continued to increase, closing at $65.61 on Thursday, close to last year’s high of $67.09 a share. Still, experts say it is too early to tell if Trump’s seal of approval will impact beer sales. “It will be interesting to see if there is any improvement,” Dav......

Donald Trump on Tuesday ignited fury for some conservatives, who say the former president was wrong to promote the controversial Bud Light.

Trump earlier in the day offered a full-on defense of the beer brand, which was criticized for partnering with a transgender woman in one of its minor promotions.

"The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see," Trump said....

The Republican war against Bud Light, and the beer brand's parent company Anheuser-Busch, has long simmered down — but former President Donald Trump still saw fit to take to his Truth Social account on Tuesday and post a defense of the company and brand.

The boycott initially began after the Bud Light brand partnered with transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney in a promotion.

"The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see. Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies - and people! Very nasty, but it’s the way they play the game!"...

Travis Kelce has riled up right wing commentators by endorsing Bud Light, encouraging vaccinations and hanging out with voter registration activist — oh, and all-world pop star — Taylor Swift.

But the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning tight end has also given indirectly to the political campaigns of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), as well as the National Republican Senatorial Committee and various other Republican committees, according to a Raw Story review of Federal Election Commission records.

Kelce made a pair of $500 contributions — one each in 2017 and 2020 — to the National Football League Players Association political action committee, called One Team. Numerous NFL players have contributed to the PAC over the years....

Singer Kid Rock, who earlier this year became among the most high-profile figures to promote a Bud Light boycott over its partnership with a transgender woman activist, appears to have turned his back on his own cause, TMZ reports.

The entertainment news outlet obtained video of the musician drinking a Bud Light at a Colt Ford show at Skydeck in Nashville, Tennessee.

“Unclear if there were other beer options available, but Kid Rock's choice seems pretty shocking considering how hard he went in on the brand earlier this year,” the report said. ...
