Twitter, Walsh wrote: "We've taken down Bud Light. Now it's Harry's turn."As Walsh noted, the backlash against Harry's follows a widespread boycott of Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev after it was revealed in April that the beer brand had a small branded partnership with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney.
Several prominent conservatives—including Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas and musicians like Kid Rock—denounced Bud Light for the partnership, and Anheuser-Busch InBev continues to experience financial repercussions from the boycott."This company only wants your business if you are uberwoke.
Everyone else should take the hint and take their money elsewhere," Walsh wrote in a follow-up X post that included a video from the End Wokeness account of Harry's CEO Andy Katz-Mayfield using the terms "birthing parents" and "non-birthing parents."Many of the people condemning Harry's on social media included clips of the company's shaving products being used by Luke Wesley Pearson, a popular transgender digital creator.Pearson, who frequently posts content with products from partners, has shared videos promoting Harry's during the holiday season of 2022 as well as during Pride Month in June."Celebrating my first Pride with facial hair!"
