DeSantis Floats Lawsuit Against 'Woke' Beer

[CatWoman]

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared on Fox News on Thursday night where he continued his longtime crusade against “wokeness” despite the fact it does not seem to have helped him much in the polls.

Surveys have consistently shown the governor trailing former President Donald Trump by wide margins.

Appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime, DeSantis discussed the recent woes of the stock price of Anheuser-Busch InBev, which produces Bud Light. Earlier this year, conservative media outlets and politicians embarked on a weeks-long outrage campaign after Bud Light sent a personalized can to a transgender TikTok influencer and paid her to promote the beer.

On Thursday, DeSantis sent a letter to the manager of his state’s pension fund, which owns shares of InBev. He urged the manager to consider suing the company because, he said, it “breached legal duties owed to its shareholders” by going woke.

1. DeSantis then went of to demand Florida pension money be given to the non-woke My Pillow guy

2. Nonsense. They believed in good faith they were helping the brand.

And what is with this huge turnout for the Sound of Freedom movie?

Does the right wing of this country's population seriously command so much market power?

4. Not a huge turnout

Tickets are being purchased in mass by the pay or forward shit. Aka church groups and dark money inflating ticket sales

6. Astroturfing. Spinning yarn. Manufacturing the illusion of importance and popularity.

The producers and financiers must be very pleased about that.

3. Wish DeSantis was as good at helping as he is at hating.

Every little thing offends this petty man.

But that is his whole platform.

His sole political appeal is that he is attacking people that an apparently significant number of voters want to see attacked.

5. He's a dangerous kook.

So he, his conservative pals and media honchos go on a mission to thrash a private company because of some perceived wokeness. That campaign, being somewhat successful in negatively impacting that company as well as his state's pension fund investments in that company, then becomes the reason for a lawsuit against the company he and his pals damaged for the loss of value in his state's investments?

Do I got that right?

That's like intentionally shooting yourself in the foot and suing the ammo manufacturer for medical costs, pain and suffering, etc. because the ammo functioned as designed. It makes no sense to me.

He's a dangerous kook.

7. When attacking a Mouse doesn't work, go for the Clydesdale. nt

8. One day this dipshit is going to realize his culture war bullshit ended him politically

9. Go ahead Ronald, DO IT!

Turns out, Anheuser-Busch gives a lot more campaign dollars to Rs (60%) than Dems (40%)
