Fetterman defends the ban
TALLAHSSEE, Fla. – Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman came out in support of legislation banning lab grown meat recently signed in Florida by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The comments came in a leadup to Fetterman’s expected keynote speaker appearance at the Florida Democratic Party’s Leadership Blue 2024 event.
“Pains me deeply to agree with Crash-and-Burn Ron, but I co-sign this,” Fetterman said on social media, referencing to DeSantis’ signing of the bill.
“As a member of @SenateAgDems and as some dude who would never serve that slop to my kids, I stand with our American ranchers and farmers,” he said.
The newly signed law prohibits and creates penalties for the manufacturing, sale or distribution of cultivated meat in the state.
It also preempts the regulation of electric vehicle charging stations to the state and prohibits local governments from implementing their own policies.
Leadership Blue 2024 will primarily take place on Saturday, mostly consisting of trainings, panel discussions and speakers, designed to raise funds and support for Florida Democrats.
“@JohnFetterman is not your traditional politician,” the party said on social media. “Join us this weekend to hear from him on his grassroots victory as a blueprint for battlegrounds.”
