| Subject: Statist idiots: Trump campaign pushes food safety rollbacks, then deletes Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:06 am | |
| WASHINGTON — A fact sheet issued by Donald Trump’s campaign on Thursday said he would roll back food safety regulations if the billionaire businessman is elected president, arguing they are burdensome to farmers and “overkill.”
The campaign later deleted the fact sheet from its website and issued a new release that did not include the food safety language. The fact sheet was sent out to supplement a speech Trump gave to the New York Economic Club on boosting economic growth. Trump did not mention food safety in the speech. In the original fact sheet, the campaign said that Trump would eliminate several regulations, including the “food police” at the Food and Drug Administration. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the food safety proposal or why it was deleted.
