Published | Video Starts at 03:52

You said in 2020, if my life were a Superman comic, Monsanto would be Lex Luthor, because I feel like I've been struggling against it my whole life. And in that same interview in 2020, you even recounted that President Trump, during the trial in 2020, sent a message to Monsanto leadership saying, we have got your back. Mr. Secretary, will you tell President 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. (03:52–04:01)
