Knowles Dissects Bud Light Parent Company’s Leftist Agenda, Ties To WEF: Mulvaney Partnership ‘Least Of Our Problems’

Bud Light’s partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney was dismissed by Anheuser-Busch’s CEO as a one-off and nothing more, but Daily Wire host Michael Knowles is skeptical.

In a tweet thread Monday, Knowles pointed out that Bud Light’s European parent company AB InBev is pushing a wide-ranging LGBTQ and DEI agenda. AB InBev’s 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report shows that the company is openly going along with the World Economic Forum (WEF) by promoting leftist agenda items ranging from climate change and censorship to diversity goals and radical gender theory. 

“One might think that Bud Light could just apologize and admit that men aren’t women. But no matter how much Bud Light and parent company AB InBev might wish to reign in the radicalism, they can’t abandon the agenda,” Knowles said. “They’re mired in World Economic Forum/ESG gobbledygook.”

Transheuser-Busch is still scrambling over the Mulvaney beer can as sales continue to tank. But it’s caught between a rock of customers and a hard place called “GARM,” a WEF-backed operation which was subpoenaed Friday by @Jim_Jordan and the House Judiciary. Here’s why:🧵

Along with accepting the leftist principles set forth through DEI and ESG initiatives, AB InBev has “adopted a corporate policy that exalts ‘gender identity and expression’ to the same level of significance as age and race,” Knowles added. The company says that it will help employees pay for sex-change procedures in the U.S. and Canada and promises “financial and legal support” for employees in Brazil and Colombia who are seeking to change their names.

In addition to its support for sex-change procedures, AB InBev offers “family-forming” options for gay couples “like two men buying the eggs & womb of a woman to intentionally remove a baby from its mother at birth,” Knowles said.

AB InBev wants leftist DEI principles to touch “upon all functions, including Sales, Supply Chain, Marketing and others,” but AB InBev’s leftist campaigns don’t stay inside the company. The beer maker also seeks to train “buyers and suppliers on our [diversity and inclusion] Supplier strategy.” 

AB InBev’s pandering to leftist principles doesn’t end there. Knowles also pointed out that the company is part of a WEF initiative that has created “standards that limit or entirely demonetize platforms that contain ‘hate speech’ on ‘gender identity,’ ‘insensitive… treatment of debated social issues,’ or the classic ‘misinformation.’” 

The initiative, created in 2019 and called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), includes corporations Adidas, BP, CVS, Goldman Sachs, Lego, Mastercard, McDonald’s, Merck, Nike, P&G, Hershey, Disney, Unilever, Walmart, and more. GARM’s “misinformation” policies were “introduced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war” and “have been designed to provide a structure for demonetizing misinformation.” 

GARM was the target of questioning from U.S. lawmakers on Friday when the Republican-led House issued subpoenas aimed at the WEF initiative. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in letters obtained by The Daily Wire that GARM and the group that created it — World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) — may be facilitating coordination by its members in a manner that violates U.S. antitrust law.

Knowles said that “GARM is so powerful and controls so much advertising money (like that of Bud Light) that YouTube, Meta (FB & IG), Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and others are writing pages of reports as to how they are going to run their platforms to appease GARM standards.” 

Knowles concluded his tweet thread with a dire warning.

“Don’t look away,” he said. “If we don’t put an end to this growing scheme of control and deceit, Bud Light’s inability to apologize and admit that men can’t be women will be the least of our problems.”

Marvel Actress Speaks Out About The Push To Make Men Less Masculine And Women Less Feminine

Marvel actress Evangeline Lilly has spoken out against what she described as the recent push to make men less masculine and women less feminine.

The 43-year-old took to Instagram accusing Hollywood of pushing a double standard where masculine men are trashed, but women who exhibit the same traits are considered “cool.”

“Why are we only applauding masculinity in women and [villainizing] it in men?” Lilly wrote. “And why are we only applauding femininity in men and debasing it in women? Why can’t we just allow for all of it?”

“Why do we feel the need to vilify a man wearing s***-kicker boots, driving a pick-up truck who’s not afraid to punch someone in the face, but if they were a woman, they would be the epitome of cool?” she added. “Why is a man who loves make-up, cries easily and stays at home to tend to the domestic responsibilities valiant, but a woman who does the same is pathetic?”

The “Ant-Man” star said it’s time we return to the old rule, “Do not judge…Let each be who they are and let us teach grace and charity above all things.”

Lilly concluded her lengthy post by writing: “Grace and charity are cornerstones of a thriving society and should not be abandoned. We need them like we need democracy, justice and peace. And, without them, we can’t have democracy, justice or peace.”

She made headlines earlier this year after saying both Disney and Marvel supported her after she protested against vaccine mandates in her home country of Canada, Fox News noted.

“I’ve had direct conversations with them that I have instigated, and they’ve always said, ‘That’s not our business. That’s not for us to tell you how to live your life or what opinions to have,'” the actress said.

“And I actually even got a really supportive phone call from Peyton Reed [Marvel director] at one point and just saying like, ‘Just so you know, there’s some rumors spreading about Marvel ditching you or canceling you. And that didn’t come from Marvel and that didn’t come from us, so just ignore that,” she added.
