What do Sherrod Brown, Al Franken, Carl Levin, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten GIllibrand and Elizabeth Warren all have in common? They voted against an amendment sponsored by Bernie Sanders to allow states to require foods containing GMO ingredients to be labeled as such. That is a stunning betrayal by these progressives and Bernie was pissed, decrying the corporate-controlled Senate.
I am frankly stunned at the votes, especially Warren. In my view she has some explaining to do, as do all the Democrats who voted against it. Jeff Merkley was a co-sponsor and both he and Ron Wyden voted for the amendment.
