CNN Apologizes To Dylan Mulvaney

CNN issued an on-air apology Wednesday for misgendering TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light partnered with transgender Mulvaney in April to launch a special promotional tin with a customized Mulvaney face. Conservatives accused Bud Light of disrespecting his own base by promoting transgender ideology. In June, Bud Light fell out of America’s best-selling beer amid a boycott.

During Tuesday’s corner about Bud Light’s explosive sales, CNN’s Ryan Young took to the streets to ask people what they thought of the situation.

“It’s very simple. People just don’t want it down their throats,” said one man.

“No Bud Light, ’cause I’m like having grandchildren. You don’t have to put that in a young kid’s head,” said one woman. (Related: In a country notorious for mafia killings of trans people, Dylan Mulvaney says ‘I had to leave to feel safe’)

“America is divided on many topics, including voting, but this Bud Light seems to have created a rift in the middle when it comes to dialogue with the public. We went to Nashville. We went to speak to a bar in Chicago, and one bar said they were basically not going to offer it because they didn’t like the way Dylan Mulvaney was treated after this controversy started. Of course, he’s the trans person they sponsored and was going to work with Bud Light, and they said Bud Light wasn’t on his side after all this. I didn’t like it.”

Host Kate Borduan apologized for Tuesday’s corner just before Wednesday’s show ended.

“Before we end today, I would like to make an important announcement. They were called by the wrong pronouns,” Boldouin said. “CNN aims to respect the way individuals identify themselves, and we apologize for the error.”
