RFK Jr is the worst traitor to the environmental movement ever. With Trump on glyphosate. [View all]
NYT:
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, which has been the target of tens of thousands of lawsuits that claim it causes non-Hodgkins lymphoma. In 2018, as a plaintiffs lawyer, Mr. Kennedy helped win a landmark $289 million jury verdict against Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, in a case contending the company knew the weedkiller caused cancer.
But in a statement issued through a spokesman Wednesday night, the health secretary (RFK Jr) said he supported the president.
...Mr. Trumps order invoked the Defense Production Act, a 1950s-era law typically used in national emergencies to compel companies to produce certain materials or supplies that the president deems necessary for national security. Mr. Trump declared both glyphosate and phosphorus, used to manufacture the weedkiller, critical to the national defense.
