Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is promoting a series of beverage koozies featuring her and three other Republican woman governors, in an apparent dig at Bud Light for its collaboration with a transgender influencer.
The Des Moines Register reports the koozies, which are being sold on Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ campaign website, appear to parody Bud Light cans — colored royal blue with “REAL WOMAN” emblazoned in a bold white font. Alabama governor Kay Ivey and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem round out the four appearing on the koozies.
Some Republicans called for a boycott of Bud Light, and the company placed two executives involved in the collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney on leave.
Governor Reynolds tweeted out a picture of the four Real Women of Politics koozies, encouraging followers to buy them while saying, “Woke Corporations are trying to change who WE are!”
Reynolds has restricted freedoms for transgender youth by signing bills that ban gender-affirming health care for minors and prevent transgender people from using school restrooms or locker rooms that do not align with their sex at birth.
