Tiffany Gomas sparks controversy with her unexpected alliance in the culture wars

Tiffany Gomas, the woman who captured the internet’s attention with her infamous “not real” rant aboard an American Airlines flight last year, has taken her 15 minutes of fame and transformed into a prominent figure in right-wing circles.

Following her viral outburst, Gomas has transitioned into the role of a right-wing influencer, making waves with her recent endorsement of “100 per cent woke-free American beer” from Ultra Right. Known for her candid social media presence, Gomas shared a photo on April 17, clad in a bikini adorned with the Ultra Right logo while holding one of their beers, sparking a flurry of reactions across various platforms.

The decision to align herself with Ultra Right Beer comes amid a broader cultural conversation about corporate partnerships and social values. Conservative Dad’s Ultra Right Beer gained traction among certain conservative demographics following Bud Light’s collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, leading some to seek alternative brands that resonate with their beliefs.

In response to Gomas’s endorsement, Ultra Right Beer CEO M. Seth Weathers clarified to Newsweek that Gomas is not a paid spokesperson for the brand, stating, “Beautiful women are just naturally attracted to our brand.” Despite this, Gomas’s association with Ultra Right Beer has generated significant attention and discourse, with her social media post amassing over 8 million views on Twitter/X.

However, not all reactions to Gomas’s endorsement have been positive. Critics have voiced concerns, suggesting that her embrace by the right-wing community is emblematic of misplaced priorities and opportunism. One reposted comment highlighted this sentiment, stating, “The right is so sadly thirsty they will embrace a woman who had a mental breakdown on a plane to sell some garbage tier beer to ‘own the libs.’ This is why they lose.”

Undeterred by criticism, Gomas responded by tagging Ultra Right Beer in a defiant retort, signaling her intent to continue pushing boundaries and engaging in controversial discourse. “Let’s give them something to talk about!” she remarked, echoing her penchant for provocation and defiance.

As Tiffany Gomas navigates her newfound role as a right-wing influencer, her actions serve as a reminder of the complex interplay between viral fame, political ideology, and cultural consumption in the digital age.
