It's been a year since some customers began boycotting Bud Light. Since then, the once top-selling beer is now in third place in the U.S.

The boycott began after a transgender influencer posted a video holding a can of beer that the brand sent her as a gift.

Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes discusses the misfortune of the former favorite with Ali Velshi, MSNBC chief correspondent and host of the show “Velshi."

This segment aired on July 18, 2024.
