Calling the trans movement an attack on females, she added, “If Bud Light actually we’re sorry about, it’s one person sending one beer candle to Dylan Mulvaney, we would’ve heard that. That’s not what we’ve heard. The guy has never apologized. He’s never owned up to it. The CEO of Anheuser-Busch, he’s not sorry at all. He’s only sorry that it turned into a controversy for him.

Kind of pick your matchup. Those guys were kind of just playing single-safety man. I think that’s great for preseason ball, so you can see what guys can win and separate. Malik’s done a great job all of training camp, so I wanted to go to his side. I liked the matchup with the corner as well. He did a great job winning.”
