People are threatening to boycott Budweiser because of its immigration-themed Super Bowl ad (BUD)
The 60-second commercial follows Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch's journey to the US in the mid-1800s, highlighting Busch's struggles and the prejudice the German immigrant encountered. In late January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US for 90 days — a move that inspired protests across the country. While Budweiser's ad was in the works long before Trump was inaugurated, some saw the timing of the commercial's release as a jab at the president's executive order. Never drinking @Budweiser you should respect the AMERICAN president instead you mock with liberal propaganda #boycottbudweiser Ricardo Marques, the vice president of marketing at Anheuser-Busch InBev, said there's no correlation between the ad and today's political climate. While the campaign inspired mixed reactions, Marques revealed in January that Budweiser would bring back "America" cans and bottles again in summer 2017.
