Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said the United States is “under siege” from Roundup Weed & Grass Killer manufacturer Bayer’s lobbyists who seek to shed the company of any damage liability.

“All three branches of this government is under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer. They spent over $9 million lobbying the executive branch and the legislative branch so that they don’t have to be liable for any damages that their herbicide causes,” Massie said on the House floor.
