Nicole Shanahan Rips Harris’ Price Control Proposal: Our Farmers ‘Are on Their Knees,’ ‘They Are Not Price Gouging’

SHANAHAN: “Where we are right now is we have taken a year, Bobby’s been running for over a year. We have crossed this nation, we have talked to Americans, we have met people from all ends of the political spectrum, which is what you should be doing if you are running for a representative office.”

CUOMO: “100 percent.”

SHANAHAN: “You should be out there listening. And our job is to bring that voice to whomever is going to be sincere in their reception to hearing the American public where they’re hurting. What is going on? I mean, farmers. Like, farmers, are so underrepresented right now. And this is why I brought up some of my criticisms of Kamala Harris, is food cap economic policy, right, or food price capping. Farmers are on their knees in this country right now. They are not price gouging. To say that our farmers are price gouging when they are already on their knees. Who can I take that message to today? You tell me, Chris —“

CUOMO: “Yeah, that’s fair criticism.”

SHANAHAN: “— who’s going to listen to me, because I have taken this message for years to the Democratic Party and I cannot get through to anybody. It’s not like this has happened overnight. I didn’t wake up one morning and say what a great idea it would be to leave the Democratic Party. No, I tried everything, everything in my capability to get through to someone who would listen and hear this actual science, to hear the people on the ground, to listen to American voices. And we’ve got to judge people by their reactions. We got to judge people by the people around them. And right now, Trump has some really good people around him and he’s willing, he’s — he’s more than willing to listen. He wants to listen, understand, verify and then say, alright, who’s going to help me get this done? And Bobby has been right up there next to him being, like, I will get this done with you.”
