There is, of course, no reason to believe that the partnership with Mulvaney was meant to target minors, despite Cruz and Blackburn’s claim that the influencer’s “audience skews significantly younger than the legal drinking age.” (Presumably, it was meant to target those who think that beer isn’t just for straight cisgender people.) There also isn‘t any reason to believe that Cruz, Blackburn, and the rest of their right-wing pals would care if someone whose audience allegedly “skews…younger” appeared in an ad for Bud Light had that person identified with the gender they were assigned at birth. On Wednesday, Senator Ted Cruz announced that he had opened an investigation into “whether Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with influencer Dylan Mulvaney violates the Beer Institute’s guidelines prohibiting marketing to underage individuals.” In a letter sent to Brendan Whitworth, the CEO of Budweiser parent company Anheuser-Busch, Cruz, along with Senator Marsha Blackburn, also demanded Whitworth, as chairman of the Beer Institute, a beer industry trade group open his own investigation “to review Anheuser-Busch’s recent and ongoing marketing partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.” Then, to make it perfectly obvious that this whole thing is a political stunt, the GOP lawmakers said such an investigation could be scrapped if Anheuser-Busch would simply: “publicly sever its relationship with Dylan Mulvaney, publicly apologize to the American people for marketing alcoholic beverages to minors, and direct Dylan Mulvaney to remove any Anheuser-Busch content from his social media platforms.” (Cruz misgenders Mulvaney throughout the letter.) Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined Jim Risch (R-Idaho) today in sending a letter to United Nations (UN) Secretary General António Guterres requesting that the UN convene an independent panel of experts to conduct a review of the World Health Organizations (WHO) response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Cruz started his career in 1995 as a law clerk. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) today sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai after a nonpartisan study raised questions about whether Google targeted get-out-the-vote messages specifically to liberal users in the run-up to the election. This letter also serves as a formal request to preserve any and all documents and information, at DirecTV, AT&T, and TPG, relating to DirecTV’s decisions to de-platform Newsmax and/or OANN. He was a primary editor of the Harvard Law reviews and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. The Parkland shooting victims dad who on Monday interrupted President Joe Bidens speech about gun control is sending a fleet of 52 school buses to Sen. He graduated magna cum laude from there in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree. If you thought, or perhaps held out some small glimmer of hope, that Republicans had tired of their manufactured scandal involving Bud Light and transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, we regret to inform you that (1) you have very much underestimated the GOP’s ability to obsess over ridiculous scandals of their own making and (2) they have not. Cruz attended Harvard university after graduating from Princeton.
