Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is urging the state’s pension fund manager to consider legal action against Bud Light’s parent company amid conservative backlash to the beermaker’s recent marketing efforts, the latest attempt by the Republican presidential candidate to inject himself and the state he runs into the country’s culture wars.

Why would they interfere with a private company? If Bud’s marketing doesn’t work, they will see it on their finances and will then change to not go bankrupt. Why do politicians even care about beer rather than to regulate? Just do politics already!

Much like Disney, AB has contributed to the Republican coffers while not towing the Republican social stance.

So weird how that’s legal in the U.S. to have that conflict of interest. So blatant.

Lie with dogs, get fleas.

Because DeSantis' MO is to weaponize the government against those that disagree with him.
