Supreme Court Justice Alito sells Anheuser-Busch shares amid conservative boycott, raising ethics concerns.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faces new ethics questions after selling shares of Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Bud Light, amid a conservative-led boycott of the brand over its partnership with a transgender social media influencer. The sale, between $1,000 and $15,000, came on the same day he bought the same amount of stock in Molson Coors, a company with a history of facing political boycotts. Critics argue that the sale can be construed as a political statement, potentially creating an "appearance-of-bias" problem for future court cases related to trans rights.
