MAHA feels betrayed after Supreme Court ruling on Monsanto, glyphosate

Source: The Hill

06/28/26 5:00 PM ET


Prominent activists with the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement are raging and saying they feel betrayed after the Supreme Court sided with pesticide maker Monsanto on Thursday and said it did not need to put a warning label about a potential cancer risk associated with its Roundup weedkiller.

The backlash could test the movement’s ties with the Republican Party, especially after the Trump administration backed Monsanto in the case. Several studies have found a link between glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, and cancer, including a major study from last year. Bayer and Monsanto have denied any such connection. But MAHA followers have long been alarmed by the idea, and many have grown impatient with a White House that has largely resisted their calls for tighter regulation of pesticides.

In April, President Trump, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and high-level administration officials held a private meeting with MAHA activists to hear their complaints and try to smooth over any ill-will. Later that month, a MAHA-led coalition rallied outside the Supreme Court during oral arguments, saying people should be able to hold companies accountable. Inside, the justices heard arguments — including some by the Department of Justice — that companies should be protected.

For some MAHA supporters, Thursday’s verdict showed that despite Trump’s alliance with Kennedy, the administration would rather prioritize the interests of pesticide makers. “A lot of MAHA voters are realizing they’ve been snookered, they’ve been had by Republicans that had no intention of protecting their health. It’s just a talking point that they added,” said David Murphy, founder of United We Eat and finance director of Kennedy’s presidential campaign.

No one even posted it in LBN. It was a 7-2 decision, btw.

The decision was delivered by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was joined in the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Neil Gorsuch dissented.


Odd mix.

Betrayed.

Betrayed by a system that has created a massive cultural imbalance. Betrayed by the leaders that are just too beholden to that same system. Betrayed by those that wanted to be seen as 'the best of the best' and have only proven the old adage that 'money corrupts'.

Yes, betrayed. But, being betrayed isn't; enough to create real change, it appears.

So...

I think it was probably something a little more unpleasant.

They might get angry over woke commercials but are just fine with them poisoning our air and water, ripping off consumers, mistreating workers, contributing to climate change. What did MAHA think Trump meant when he kept promising deregulation, attacked the EPA, and promised to do big oils bidding for campaign donations?
