MTG needles Graham with Bud Light photo

The conservatives' one-sided culture war against Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has bubbled over into a new week after Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted a picture of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham holding a can of the beer in question. However, this wasn't your average can of Bud Light. It was one that was branded with the face of trans activist and actress Dylan Mulvaney. 

This, of course, is controversial because prominent right-wing public figures, from Travis Tritt to Rep. Dan Crenshaw, are currently engaged in a bad-faith boycott against the beer brand because of its short partnership with Mulvaney. The boycott itself is buoyed by transphobic rhetoric, which is apparent in how many conservatives are talking about the brand.
