Bar That Stood with Bud Light Raises White Flag as Public Turns on It

Bar That Stood with Bud Light Raises White Flag as Public Turns on It

The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Bloomington, Indiana, which came to national attention for its Facebook posts refusing to drop Anheuser-Busch products in the wake of the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney controversy, now appears to be trying to distance itself from the controversy.

The bar had suffered a loss of business because of its stance, and it appears now to be trying to limit its social media posts to those with specific relevance to its business, as opposed to social commentary on transgender issues.

Previous posts — which said things like “We support ALL people in this establishment no matter who you are or how you identify. We will continue to sell [Anheuser] Busch products because we don’t care who they make special cans for” — have all been removed from Facebook.

This boycott of AB has turned out bigger than I expected. I thought there would be some outrage but they would weather through it

I’m overjoyed to admit my error

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The Bud Light product must not be very important to their future product portfolio, then, because despite all of this bad news, A-B's stock price has recovered back to the pre-trannie level.

Who's buying it?  Who's propping it up? Blackrock?
