Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized both the U.S. Supreme Court and President Donald Trump after the court sided with Bayer AG in a major Roundup lawsuit, saying "no one is standing up for cancer patients."

Greene Slams Supreme Court, Trump

Greene's reaction came after the Supreme Court ruled 7-2, limiting thousands of state lawsuits over claims that Roundup's active ingredient, glyphosate, causes cancer.

"So the Supreme Court protects Monsanto and Trump protects glyphosate. But no one is standing up for cancer patients," Greene wrote in a post on X.

So the Supreme Court protects Monsanto and Trump protects glyphosate.

But no one is standing up for cancer patients.

Awful, just awful.

Don't Miss:

Bayer acquired Roundup through its $63 billion purchase of Monsanto in 2018 and has since faced more than 100,000 lawsuits alleging glyphosate causes cancer, prompting the company to remove the chemical from consumer versions of the herbicide.

Court Hands Bayer Major Legal Victory

The ruling overturned a $1.25 million Missouri jury award to John Durnell, who claimed years of glyphosate exposure caused his non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to Reuters News.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the Environmental Protection Agency has repeatedly concluded glyphosate does not cause cancer and has never required Bayer to include a cancer warning on Roundup labels.

In response to Benzinga's request for comment on Greene's remarks, Bayer referred to its statement following the ruling, saying the decision reinforces the scientific consensus that glyphosate "is not likely to be carcinogenic."

The company said the EPA and regulators across Europe, Asia and Latin America have reached the same conclusion after independent safety reviews.

Bayer also added that much of the litigation has relied on a dated 2015 assessment by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Glyphosate Remains Political Flashpoint

Greene's criticism follows Trump's February executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to secure domestic supplies of glyphosate-based herbicides and elemental phosphorus, describing the chemicals as critical to national security and agricultural production.

Bayer remains the only U.S. producer of elemental phosphorus, a key ingredient used in manufacturing glyphosate-based herbicides.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.
