   > Transgender pretenderism is mental illness.   
      
   Ted Nugent is having none of Bud Light over its marketing partnership with   
   transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, calling it “the   
   epitome of cultural deprivation” while vowing that no Anheuser-Busch   
   products will come “anywhere near my world.”   
      
   “The beauty of my life is that I’ve never spent one red cent on alcohol,”   
   the lead guitarist from the now-defunct psychedelic group The Amboy Dukes   
   told Newsmax on Tuesday.   
      
   “But I made sure that my entire crew and my family will never allow any   
   Anheuser-Busch products anywhere near my world.”   
      
   Nugent said that Bud Light and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, which   
   recently launched a “Jack Fire Pride” ad campaign touting a “drag queen   
   summer glamp,” were both being “disrespectful” to their “core consumer   
   demographic.”   
      
   “How can they possibly have a meeting around the table and come to the   
   conclusion that they’re going to piss in the face of the people who pay   
   their salaries?” the “Stranglehold” crooner said.   
      
   “This is the epitome of cultural deprivation in an ongoing tsunami of   
   cultural deprivation.”   
      
   Mulvaney, a TikTok influencer with more than 10 million followers who   
   transitioned from a man to a woman during the COVID pandemic, recently   
   started promoting Nike and Bud Light products on her social media   
   accounts.   
      
   Last week, she unveiled her paid partnership with Nike by posing in a   
   sports bra.   
      
   The posts were seen by her 2 million followers on Instagram.   
      
   “Alert the media — I’m entering my workout era,” Mulvaney wrote.   
      
   Nugent isn’t the only music star to express his distaste for the Bud Light   
   marketing strategy.   
      
   Mulvaney’s Bud Light partnership prompted high-profile names such as Kid   
   Rock and Travis Tritt to vow a boycott of the beer.   
      
   The backlash has also reportedly sparked concern from beer distributors   
   that the controversy could hurt beer sales.   
      
   Squabbles have broken out at bars and distributors are canceling events   
   featuring the iconic Budweiser Clydesdale horses.   
      
   The 26-year-old Mulvaney is also a pitchwoman for the Kate Spade fashion   
   brand, which has also been criticized by conservatives.   
      
   Mulvaney recently posted a TikTok clip showing her shopping at a Kate   
   Spade retail location in New York’s Rockefeller Center.   
      
   The influencer is reported to have earned more than $1 million promoting   
   products such as Ulta Beauty, Haus Labs, Crest, InstaCart, and CeraVe.
