TENSE: Markey Brings Up Comment From RFK Jr. Claiming Trump Had Monsanto's Back In Roundup Trial

Published | Video Starts at 04:16

… Trump that he is wrong to have Monsanto's back instead of the backs of the American people? I've already expressed my disagreement to the President about this issue. Mr. Secretary, Despite the decades that you have spent shouting that glyphate and Monsanto are killing Americans, this is the first that we've heard because you've been silent with regard to Trump now shielding it. I have not been silent. You're mistaken. Well, I can't find any evidence that you have said that. The President said it publicly just now, and I said it in hearings all week, and I said it before publicly. (04:16–04:36)
