So, why is Mulvaney addressing this controversial post today? Mulvaney explains that what transpired from that video was more “bullying and transphobia” than they could’ve ever imagined. Mulvaney admits to wanting to make this video months ago, because they were scared. Mulvaney also felt personally guilty for what had happened. It’s interesting to note that Mulvaney mentioned the brand in question did not reach out to them during the controversy, as well.
Since everything between Mulvaney and Bud Light happened, Mulvaney has been scared to leave their house. Mulvaney says they have been ridiculed in public, followed, and felt lonely. Mulvaney ends the video by stating that supporting transgender people should not be political. “There should be nothing controversial or divide about working with us,” says Mulvaney in the video.
