GOP faces MAHA backlash for ‘betrayal’ over pesticide immunity push and environmental rollbacks

Published



Prominent voices in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement warn that congressional Republicans are betraying the health-first values that fueled their 2024 victories, this time by quietly advancing legislation that would grant sweeping legal immunity to pesticide companies.

On her podcast “Culture Apothecary” this week, conservative influencer Alex Clark delivered a searing rebuke. “I am fricken pissed,” she said. “Did President Trump just hand legal immunity to pesticide companies? The Republicans in Congress are working very hard right now to give immunity to chemical manufacturers, to provide them with this shield so that when we get sick from their chemicals, we will not be able to sue. It’s a slap in the face to the MAHA and all we’ve worked for.”
