In cowardly contrast, Anheuser-Busch instantly retreated into the shadows,' he wrote. 'Even Mulvaney's harshest critics must acknowledge that she is standing tall in a hurricane of hate, taking the invective with remarkable poise. 'Kicking a political hornet's nest for clicks and giggles before running away is no way to elevate a brand or promote a cause,' wrote Ben Schott, the publication's advertising and brands columnist. Get lost.Īn opinion piece in published by Bloomberg before the commercial released used similar language to describe how Anheuser-Busch responded to the backlash and accused the company of setting a 'new low in corporate courage.' 1 solid month of insult, and now you think we are coming back.
