Rep. Dan Crenshaw is among the conservatives boycotting Bud Light after the beer brand used a transgender actress in a promo, but what he apparently doesn't realize is that the beer he favors instead is owned by the same parent company. Crenshaw, of Texas, is among those posting #boycottbudlight videos on social media; in his Instagram video, he says he's ready to throw away any Bud Light in his fridge only to open it and show a bunch of Karbach beers (like Crawford Bock and Love Street) and no Bud Light at all, MySanAntonio.com reports. The problem? Karbach, a local brewer, is owned by Anheuser-Busch, just like Bud Light, the Houston Chronicle reports. The craft brewery was acquired by the beer giant in 2016.
Karbach has also itself been supportive of LGBTQ+ causes, not to mention Black Lives Matter. "When you want to #boycottbudlight but then realize you don’t ever buy Bud Light," Crenshaw captioned his video, in which he referred to Bud Light's "stupid ad campaign." Among the comments were quite a few pointing out the shared parent company ("derp," reads one response), as well as observations like, "No one loves cancel culture quite like a [R]epublican."
