As you know Don Jr. suggested that conservatives not boycott Bud Light this past weekend over the transgender pretender Dylan Mulvaney advertisements because they donate more to Republicans than Democrats.
Well today Benny Johnson sat down with Governor DeSantis to get his take on the Bud Light boycott and he is, as you might have guessed, all for it:
🚨Governor DeSantis calls Bud Light boycott righteous and says he will never drink Bud Light again.

Here’s a partial transcript:
“Why would you want to drink Bud Light? I mean honestly, that’s like them rubbing our faces in it. These companies that do this, if they never have any response they’re gonna keep doing it. So if you as a consumer are like ‘yeah they’re doing that but I’m just gonna keep drinking it anyway’, well then they’re just going to keep doing it.
I think we have power as consumers to make our voice heard. And not on every company because sometimes conservative consumers aren’t gonna make a dent in some companies. This [company] is one where if you don’t have conservative beer drinkers, you’re gonna feel that. And so I think it’s a righteous think.”
What I love about this is how DeSantis recognizes that conservative beer drinkers are a huge component of Anheuser-Busch’s beer sales and in that way a boycott like this could really send a strong message.
And that’s the point. We can’t always win every battle but this is absolutely one we can win and that’s a big reason why we should.
There’s more in the video, including Benny asking DeSantis if he’ll every drink Budweiser again.
