DeSantis Urges State Action Against Anheuser-Busch Amid Bud Light Controversy

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is urging the state's pension fund manager to consider legal action against AB InBev, the parent company of Bud Light, over its recent marketing efforts that conservatives have criticized. DeSantis claims that AB InBev breached its legal duties to shareholders by associating with "radical social ideologies." Sales of Bud Light have dropped since the company partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, leading to a conservative boycott. DeSantis suggests a "derivative lawsuit" against AB InBev and wants the state to review the impact of the company's financial downturn. This move is part of DeSantis' ongoing efforts to combat what he calls "woke capitalism" and inject himself into the culture wars.
