RFK, Jr. raises concerns about RoundUp residue in foods Americans eat | Eastern NC Now

Monsanto, the chemical company Darren Armstrong ran to protect

ENCNow

RedState has a new video out on the dangers of the weedkiller Roundup in our foods.  This is a chemical whose maker, Monsanto, has already paid out billions of dollars in damages for Americans getting cancer from it.

Monsanto is also a company that Rep.-elect Darren Armstrong has a close business relationship with in his own genetically modified seed business.  Keeping North Carolinians from being able to sue Monsanto if they get cancer from RoundUp was a key part of Armstrong's reason for running.

Conservatives in Beaufort County need to get their act together. A lot of special interest money was in this campaign. Even so, I think Kidwell could have weathered the storm if he had not thrown his weight around in Beaufort County opposing local conservatives and allying with that corrupt Garris woman. In my mind he lost his race at that point.

Local conservatives need to come to some sort of understanding. Maybe we need to separate the wheat from the chaff and think about the big picture.

I am appalled that we will have Darren "RoundUp" Armstrong as our legislator, who is nothing but a special interest front man. He cares nothing about anything but farming and his own farming business, not for any political principles or for the people of Beaufort County and the other district counties. Armstrong's seed business grows genetically modified seeds for Monsanto's seed business, designed to work with RoundUp. That is who he is going to represent, NOT the NC citizens who get cancer from RoundUp. We do not need self-serving politicians like Armstrong, but we are stuck with one for two years.
