Political Quotes

“I can't believe that anyone is opposed to just making sure that honey is healthy and is produced in the United States. It just shows you the politics of my friends on the left side of the aisle, the Democrats. As with all food quality provisions, it is important that we are relying on high-quality science and methods to make sure that when producers are making claims regarding their product's quality, purity, and authenticity, it be confirmed. This amendment brings that certainty to the honey industry in the United States, protecting producers and consumers. The owners have a great secondary benefit of making sure that the honey industry is successful because we need those pollinators. We need those pollinators for everything: Our food, for beautiful flowers, for anything that grows. Basically, pollination is such an important part of that. To be opposed to this amendment is to be opposed to American agriculture. I am not surprised by that.”
