MS NOW’s Luke Russert laid into supporters of the Make America Healthy Again movement, blaming them for gifting the country with “poopy lettuce.”
On Tuesday’s The Weeknight, Russert blasted “MAHAs” and cuts made during Elon Musk’s time with DOGE (“Department of Government Efficiency”) as the reason for an outbreak of cyclosporiasis, which causes, among other things, explosive diarrhea.
As Russert noted, more than 30 states have contacted the Centers for Disease Control about cases of the parasite, which is found on fresh produce. Five states have declared an outbreak. Russert referenced a Wired report noting that the specific lab meant to deal with outbreaks of cyclosporiasis was cut from 11 people to just three during DOGE cuts, which chopped $30 million in funding.
Russert argued “MAHAs” are to blame for efforts to cut regulators and funding, leading to “poopy, poopy lettuce,” a phrase his co-host Michael Steele used earlier in the show.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. coined the term “MAHA” and used it during his independent presidential campaign in 2024 before joining Trump’s team.
Russert said:
I blame a certain segment of people for this. And I want to tell you who they are. They’re the MAHAs, the Make America Healthy Again. Now, I’m sure if you had a social media account in the last three years, they popped up in your feed. Some of your friends, some of whom went to Ivy League universities, totally fell for this. And why is this the fault of the MAHAs? Because all the rational people, folks like you and me, said, you know, Republicans, when they’re in power, they let the corporations write the regulations for themselves. They’re not about making America healthy again. We saw that when they came after Michelle Obama’s school lunch program, right? And what happened here? Well, the regulators got cut, the inspectors got cut and now we have the poopy poopy lettuce!
