After rolling out a Bud Light ad campaign featuring flamboyant transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney - whose ditzy caricature of a woman mocks decades of actual progress by feminists (who have apparently been wokeshamed into silence), Anheuser-Busch's damage control team kicked into action on Friday after the Mulvaney ad sparked a massive backlash.
