MAHA to protest outside of Supreme Court over RoundUp case
More than 1,000 Make America Healthy Again advocates are anticipated to attend a rally Monday morning in front of the Supreme Court to protest the Trump administration’s handling of the herbicide glyphosate, the main chemical in RoundUp.
TL;DR
- Over 1,000 'Make America Healthy Again' advocates are protesting the Trump administration's handling of glyphosate outside the Supreme Court.
- The protest, organized by 'Food Babe' Vani Hari, coincides with the Supreme Court's oral arguments in a case concerning Bayer's liability for RoundUp's potential to cause cancer.
- The Trump administration has repeatedly sided with Bayer, including filing a brief arguing against company liability and issuing an executive order to boost domestic glyphosate manufacturing, which also provided a liability shield.
- These actions have strained the relationship between the MAHA movement and the Republican Party, as glyphosate advocacy is typically associated with left-of-center environmentalist movements.
- The rally aims to be bipartisan, with speakers from both Republican and Democratic parties and various advocacy groups scheduled.
- The outcome of the Supreme Court case and the administration's policies on pesticide use could influence voter turnout, especially among women, in the upcoming midterm elections.
