MAHA Moms Turn Against Trump: ‘Women Feel Like They Were Lied To’
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- The MAHA Moms, a group of health-conscious women supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and initially backing President Trump’s 2024 campaign, feel betrayed by Trump’s recent executive order promoting domestic production of glyphosate, a controversial weedkiller linked to cancer lawsuits.
- Many MAHA Moms, who had switched allegiance from the Democratic Party to support Trump due to his promises to address environmental toxins, are now expressing anger and disillusionment, threatening their continued political support.
- While the president’s order has caused outrage among the movement’s followers, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended the decision, stating it would enhance national defense and food supply, which has somewhat shielded him from criticism within the group.
- Activists like Vani Hari
