Conservatives Just Found An Old Ad For An LGBTQ+ Ford Pickup Truck—And They Lost It

Conservatives Just Found An Old Ad For An LGBTQ+ Ford Pickup Truck—And They Lost It
Ford

Ford has now joined the list of 'woke' companies over an ad from June of 2022 featuring a Ford Ranger Raptor painted with the colors of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag.

Conservatives—fresh off a boycott of Bud Light and at the early stages of targeting Miller Lite and Target and Starbucks—found yet another reason to clutch their pearls. Unknown to them, another of their beloved brands—Ford Motor Company—has been "woke" for years and they are not happy.

An advertisement from Ford in June 2022 resurfaced.


In it, two Ford Raptors race across a muddy landscape, taking different paths. One is revealed to be a shade of red.

The other? The other charges gloriously through a puddle and off of a jump, winning the race with a custom pride flag paint job.

At the end, the two trucks join up together in harmony.

It's not a subtle ad, to be sure.

It's driving conservatives ballistic.



Being as no one in the LGBTQ+ community is making anyone buy a Ford, the hysteria is a bit much.

Plus, Ford is a company that sells to, well, anyone.



Then people engaged in the time-honored tradition of trying to figure out what car people in the LGBTQ+ community actually drive.



But in all seriousness, this type of outsized outrage seems to be coming at quite a clip these days.

It's almost like they face no real adversity so they have to create their own "oppression."

It seems unlikely we will see people trashing their $90,000 trucks like we did with people filming themselves pouring out—or shooting—their Bud Lights.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized after she defended President Donald Trump's suggestion that domestic violence isn't really a crime, saying during a press briefing that women will "make up" crimes to try to "undermine" Trump's ongoing crime crackdown.

Earlier this week, Trump erroneously claimed that crime statistics in Washington D.C. were inflated because “things that take place in the home, they call crime":

Democratic Rep. Perfectly Calls Out Hypocrisy Of Trump's 'Department Of War' Rebrand

California Democratic Representative Sara Jacobs called out the hypocrisy of President Donald Trump's "Department of War" rebrand after news outlets reported that it's merely a "secondary title" for the Department of Defense (DOD) and not a legal name change.

The department is only being given alternate labels, which is a symbolic rebrand more than anything substantive. The official name will remain the same unless Congress passes a law to change it.

Italian reporter sparks backlash

Federica Polidoro attempted to clean up her mess after the After the Hunt press junket with Andrew Garfield, Julia Roberts, and Ayo Edebiri went viral for all the wrong reasons.

The Italian journalist drew backlash after explicitly excluding Edebiri from a question about the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements—two movements rooted in women’s voices and racial justice, a.k.a. exactly the communities Edebiri belongs to.
