Dairy Farmers Quickly Spoil MTG’s ‘Weird’ Raw Milk Tweet
Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the most senior Republican yet to swallow wildly disputed claims about the health benefits of drinking “raw milk” straight from the udder.
In an Oct. 6 tweet, Greene wrote, “Raw milk does a body good,” adding. “Make America Healthy Again.” She include a photo of a glass half full with custard-colored liquid.
Her claim immediately prompted X’s fact checking bot to slap a disclaimer below the tweet that said: “Raw milk consumption is linked to a number of foodborne illnesses (e.g., Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella, and Salmonella) that can result in serious complications and death.”
