Anheuser-Busch hires ex-GOP aides to lobby conservatives after Dylan Mulvaney fiasco
[NYPOST] Anheuser Busch has reportedly hired a number for former Republican political aides in an effort to mend relations with conservatives following its controversial partnership with transgender

influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Disclosures show that weeks ago the embattled company, owned by Belgium-based brewing conglomerate InBev, hired lobbying firm Origin Advocacy for representation on "general policy regarding the alcohol-beverage industry," Fox Business reported Friday.

The account is being handled by Origin founder Sean McClean and Origin partner Emily Lynch — both former veteran staffers to Republican politicians.

According to Origin’s website, McLean previously served on the legislative staff of Sen. Ted Cruz;
...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through.

(R-Texas) and was the White House liaison for the Commerce Department under President Trump. He also once worked as the legislative director for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) when she served in the US House of Representatives.

Lynch began her career working on on the committee staff for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) before later serving as a legislative assistant to former Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R, NH), and then Rep. Virginia Foxx (R, NC).

Both sides do it heavily. A lot of the social media higher ups worked for the demoncrats when they were in power.

#5 ^ From the DC orbit media types and only-shave-every-three-days Twitter pundits, to the pols, the lobbyists and the hangers-on, none of them could earn an honest living without the Beltway Grift Factory™
