Is anyone - anyone with half a functioning brain that is - surprised to hear that the CEO of the company whose food products are responsible for sickening tens of thousands of American consumers with "explosive diarrhea" is a big Drumpf supporter and that his company gave Drumpf and the MAGA Republicans in Congress $2 million as a payoff to water down and eliminate rules that would have helped facilitate government testing to identify the source of foodborne illnesses and prevent their spreading among the populace?
You shouldn't be surprised.
Everything Trump touches turns to shit - literally in this case:
Link: Taylor Farms Donated to Trump As He Delayed Food Safety Rule
"Taylor Farms – the produce giant whose lettuce has been recalled in connection with the “explosive diarrhea” outbreak sweeping the United States – and its lobbying groups have for years worked to end or delay programs meant to help the government better test for foodborne diseases and prevent their spread, according to records reviewed by Zeteo.
Over a decade ago, Taylor Farms and big agricultural industry groups successfully lobbied to defund a significant foodborne illness testing program that was responsible for some 80% of U.S. public produce pathogen testing.
More recently, under Donald Trump’s second administration, a lobbying group that Taylor Farms belongs to successfully pushed to delay a rule that would have helped the government more quickly trace contaminations back to specific locations – which could have helped prevent the illness at hand, cyclosporiasis, from proliferating into thousands of cases nationwide."
Tens of thousands of citizens sickened from food because of MAGA greed and corruption.
This is the kind of America that Drumpf and MAGA have planned for us all eventually.
Knowing this, please vote accordingly in November.
