A controversial provision tucked into a House spending bill could grant sweeping legal immunity to pesticide manufacturers for as many as 57,000 chemical products—including those linked to cancer, Parkinson's disease, and infertility—sparking a revolt amongst supporters of President Donald Trump's Make America Healthy Again movement.
Conservative commentator Brett Cooper took to Fox News recently to sound the alarm about House Republicans' efforts to protect pesticide makers, telling the network that the lawmakers' actions were a betrayal of the MAHA movement. 'House Republicans are slipping something into our new spending bill which would give immunity to huge pesticide companies', Cooper said. 'I think it would cover 57,000 different chemicals, and these are chemicals that have been linked to cancer, Parkinson's and infertility, and House Republicans are just slipping it in which feels like they're giving the middle finger to MAHA.'
