Jack Daniel's has taken a serious “mental health hit,” anti-woke warrior Robby Starbuck claimed Wednesday night after telling Fox News Digital he had his eyes on another iconic American brand.

“Big news,” the film activist posted on X. “The next company we had to expose was @JackDaniels.”

Brown-Forman, the Tennessee distiller's parent company, “preemptively announced,” Starbuck writes, that it was abandoning a series of diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and left-wing initiatives.

Among those measures, he wrote: “End participation in the (Human Rights Campaign) Corporate Equality Index social credit system; tie executive and employee bonuses/targets to company performance, not DEI; end “quantitative workforce and supplier diversity ambitions”; and reduce woke training.”

Jack Daniel's is the latest in a long line of iconic American brands to ditch what have proven to be toxic “woke” agendas.

Influencer Starbuck has made international headlines in recent weeks, highlighting Harley-Davidson's radical, far-left social agenda that has caused a seismic schism between its executives and ordinary Americans who have been loyal to the motorcycle maker for decades.

“Jack Daniel's must have been informed by us while browsing employees' LinkedIn pages,” Starbuck wrote, taking credit for the announcement.

With his eye on corporate America, Starbuck was the driving force behind exposing the social agendas of John Deere and Tractor Supply Co., as well as Harley-Davidson, forcing all three major American brands to abandon their left-wing initiatives.

Starbuck, of Tennessee, recently told Fox News Digital that he had gathered evidence of the unpopular left-wing policies of another iconic American brand.

“We put on drag shows and promoted every sexual identity imaginable. Things that were completely out of character for their clientele,” Starbuck said.

“Since then, the world has evolved, our business has changed, and the legal and external landscape has changed dramatically, particularly in the United States.”

Starbuck wrote on X: “We are now forcing multi-billion dollar organizations to change their policies without even publishing them, simply out of fear that they will be the next company we expose. We are winning, and one by one we will bring sanity back to corporate America.”
