Mexican icon, Vicente Fernandez, is getting heat from the Phoenix-based human rights group Puente for accepting a 3-year contract with Budweiser, the leading beer for Hensley & Co., owned by Cindy Hensley McCain, wife of U.S. Senator John McCain.
Fernandez, also known by the sobriquet "El Rey" for his dominance of Ranchera-style music, performed Friday, June 10, 2012 at US Airways Center.
