Comedian Michael Che has a history of deleting his social media posts. But he may want to protect the last one.
Tuesday, joint anchor Saturday night live‘s “Weekend Update” on Instagram, “you know… a lot of people don’t drink bud light because the company used a trans person in their ads.. and these mostly right-wing bud light customers trashed all bud lights in blind anger.. and this got me thinking..just listen to me.”
On the next slide, Che said, “what if we had trances .. listen to me .. advertise guns ..?”
After Bud Light partnered with trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney for an online promotion over the past few days, conservatives have publicly blamed the brewing company and, in the case of Kid Rock, shoots some cans with a high-powered rifle in the video. . Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) made a critical mistake when he tried the #boycottbudlight, but eventually posted a video of the refrigerator featuring a beer, again made by Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch.
Che’s post, meanwhile, garnered enthusiastic praise from trans pop star Kim Petras, as well as celebrities like comedian Patton Oswalt and The Roots bandleader Questlove.
“Did you just put an end to gun crime?” a follower wrote in reply. “I think so too.”
