Trump Adviser Larry Kudlow Claims Biden Will Force Americans To Drink ‘Plant-Based Beer’

Donald Trump’s former economic adviser Larry Kudlow warned Americans on Fox Business Friday that President Joe Biden is planning to force Americans to drink “plant-based beer” possibly unaware that “plant-based beer” is the only kind of beer that exists. Beer is typically made from grains, hops and yeast (additives like gelatin are sometimes included).

This comment came as part of Kudlow’s wider criticism of the proposed Green New Deal, which Kudlow claimed would end the country’s meat and dairy consumption, even though the bill itself does not seek to ban these food products.

Kudlow added that Americans would be forced to “grill” Brussels sprouts on July 4th, noting that this act could be construed as anti-American since these vegetables first became popular in Brussels. “Speaking of stupid, America has to, get this, America has to stop eating meat, stop eating poultry and fish, seafood, eggs, dairy and animal-based fats. Ok, got that? No burgers on July 4th. No steaks on the barbecue. … So get ready. You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag.”

Many Twitter users replied to Kudlow’s comments, calling him out for his remarks.

TBH, I’ve been drinking plant-based beer for years. And it’s pretty close to the real thing! https://t.co/Y6p9iKEl2X

#FoxNews Larry Kudlow warns that #Biden #climate plan will require we all drink "plant based beer". Now I'm searching for that meat-based beer he's been drinking.

Is plant-based beer Biden's Katrina?

„plant-based beer“ – Instant classic, that one

So this seems to be the latest right-wing attempt to smear Bidenomics. There is, of course, nothing about eliminating meat in Biden's plans; so this is like the imaginary mobs that burned our cities to the ground 1/ https://t.co/tniLRFN7fT

If you read what Kudlow actually said, he's cagey — doesn't say that Biden proposed this, only that some people say this is what would happen. But Fox viewers won't notice, which is the intention 2/

I look forward to drinking a "plant-based beer" with friends and family on July 4 https://t.co/27dcLfraHG

I drink plant-based beers exclusively, myself. Cheers! 🍻
