A former Anheuser-Busch executive is calling on Brendan Whitworth, the beer company’s U.S. chief executive officer, to step down from his position over his handling of Bud Light’s partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Anson Frericks, who once was president of sales and distribution for Anheuser-Busch, wrote in a column published by The Daily Mail on July 1 that Whitworth “has clearly shown himself to be incapable of solving the Mulvaney crisis.”
