But old racist tweets ended his relationship with the beer company that promised to match his fundraising. In now-deleted tweets, Busch Beer promised to send King, dubbed the "Iowa Legend," a year's supply of beer cans with his face and name on them. Anheuser-Busch spokesperson Matt Kohan told CNN on Wednesday that the company would still donate more than $350,000 to the hospital as promised, but it had rescinded its beer offer. "I'm just glad that Busch and Venmo are matching the donations and that we can continue to make a difference for the hospital," King told CNN by phone on Wednesday evening.
