Budweiser's Super Bowl ad has the beer brand in hot water.
On Tuesday, Budweiser released its Super Bowl ad online. The 60-second commercial follows Anheuser-Busch co-founder Adolphus Busch's journey to the US in the mid-1800s, highlighting Busch's struggles and the prejudice the German immigrant encountered.
"You're not wanted here, go back home!" one American yells at Busch as he arrives in New Orleans.
Budweiser has said the commercial was not intended to be a political statement. However, many people aren't buying it after it aired at the Super Bowl.
"I drank your product for 30 years and I will no longer drink it you liberal s--- heads," reads one such comment on Budweiser's Facebook page
