Dylan Mulvaney keeps catching strays from the White House, and she has decided to take it in stride. Despite having nothing to do with the White House Correspondents Dinner, Mulvaney’s name was brought up when the demon-in-chief attempted to turn his speech into a roast of Kaitlan Collins when she won a journalism award, calling the award “fake” and her job at CNN “fake news” and even becoming a caricature of himself telling her to smile more. Thinking he was on a roll, he attempted to insult her further by joking that she thought she had a Bud Light sponsorship but that was actually Dylan Mulvaney, going on to talk about how much money the company lost after that campaign.

Dylan made a video in response to coming up in a speech at an event she wasn’t part of by saying that actually it’s a compliment to be criticized by this administration because it puts her in the same company as “the most brilliant, empathetic people in our world today.” She’s not going to stop being a visible role model for transgender people so that they can see that others trying to bully and silence the LGBTQ+ community and steal our joy are just an effort to keep them from being their true, powerful selves. She ends her video for advice to others facing such people trying to insult them, and also by quoting and dancing to Shea Diamond’s “I Am America.”
