Pic of Dems awkwardly holding Bud Lights gets dragged online

This dud’s for you.

California House Democrats posed with bottles of Bud Light to mock the GOP boycott of the brand in the wake of its partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, but the stilted photo op was mercilessly dragged online for its awkwardness.

Rep. Ted Lieu tweeted the pic of him and Reps. Mark Takano, Judy Chu and Adam Schiff posing with the cheap low-alcohol beers in the Capitol Sunday in response to a Daily Beast article about how the National Republican Congressional Committee put the brakes on its Bud Light boycott because parent company Anheuser-Busch donated nearly a half-million dollars to its candidates in the last election cycle.

But critics were quick to mock the photo of Democratic buds enjoying a cold one and taking pains to showcase their beer’s labels.

The staged pic made Democrats look like the “Beta Beer Party,” Robin Zaruba, who describes himself as an author and musician, cracked on Twitter.

“Look guys, I drink beer, look how I hold the bottle like any normal guy would hold a beer. This is me being like a normal beer holding guy,” “Slightly Offensive” podcast host Elijah Schaffer captioned a zoomed-in picture of Lieu’s strained facial expression.

One user replied, “Precisely my thoughts. Never seen people look so awkward holding a beer bottle in my life.”

“I wonder how much this advertisement cost,” another wrote.

“He’s one of us,” another user sarcastically cracked.

Lieu conceded that the pic was a gag when he replied to a user who called his efforts “equally as infantile and unserious” as the GOP Bud Light boycott, which caused Anheuser-Busch’s market capitalization to sink by $5 billion.

 “I mock stupid stuff by MAGA Republicans. Data shows that mockery is one of the more effective ways to get people to stop supporting extremists,” the Los Angeles lawmaker responded.

The original brouhaha first began when Bud Light sponsored a March Madness post on Mulvaney’s Instagram account at the beginning of the month.

The partnership was seized upon by conservatives who in recent years have passed “bathroom bills” and banned transgender girls from playing high school sports.

Anhueser-Busch’s CEO Brendan Whitworth apologized last week to those who were offended.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” he wrote in a press release.

“We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”
