United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito poses for an official portrait at the East Conference Room of the Supreme Court building on October 7, 2022 in Washington, DC.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sold shares of beer giant Anheuser-Busch InBev as conservatives were ditching the Bud Light brewer over its partnership with a transgender social media influencer .
The Supreme Court did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on Alito's transaction report or the timing of his stock activity.
In May 2023, Modelo replaced Bud Light as the top-selling beer in the U.S. Data from around that time showed sales of Bud Light had dropped nearly 25% year over year.
Roth noted that the beer companies in question have no pending business before the Supreme Court that he can think of.
