Rep. Ted Lieu tweeted the pic of him and Reps. Mark Takano, Judy Chu and Adam Schiff posing with the cheap low-alcohol beers in the Capitol Sunday.
The pic was response to a Daily Beast article about how the National Republican Congressional Committee put the brakes on its Bud Light boycott because parent company Anheuser-Busch donated nearly a half-million dollars to its candidates in the last election cycle.
But critics were quick to mock the photo of Democratic buds enjoying a cold one and taking pains to showcase their beer’s labels."I have seen shows on Broadway less staged than this photo."Lieu conceded that the pic was a gag when he replied to a user who called his efforts “equally as infantile and unserious” as the GOP Bud Light boycott, which caused Anheuser-Busch’s market capitalization to sink by $5 billion.“I mock stupid stuff by MAGA Republicans.
The original brouhaha first began when Bud Light sponsored a March Madness post on Mulvaney’s Instagram account at the beginning of the month. The partnership was seized upon by conservatives who in recent years have passed “bathroom bills” and banned transgender girls from playing high school sports.
