Christie Slams DeSantis' Bud Light Lawsuit: 'He Wants To Ride That Horse As Hard As He Possibly Can'
Portfolio Pulse from Anthony Noto
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' decision to pursue a lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA (NYSE:BUD), the parent company of Bud Light, over their advertising decisions. DeSantis blames Bud Light's hiring of transgender star Dylan Mulvaney for the company's poor sales. Christie argues that consumers have the power to decide what they buy and don't need the government to make these decisions for them. DeSantis' recent legal spats with Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) and Inbev have drawn criticism from fellow Republicans.
