CNN has apologised for misgendering trans TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney. On 11 July, CNN News Central aired a segment about Bud Light and its ailing stock prices, which apparently were down 28% at the time of the report.
Over the last few months, the company has faced backlash from right-winged individuals due to their partnership with Mulvaney.
Back in April, the 26-year-old uploaded an Instagram video to promote Bud Light’s March Madness contest whilst simultaneously celebrating her first year living as a woman.
The post resulted in conservative individuals and some Republican public figures – like Kid Rock and Marjorie Taylor Greene – spewing anti-trans rhetoric and announcing their boycott of Bud Light.
