“Also, because our lawmakers are impotent, they refuse to pass country of origin labeling so our American ranchers are unable to differentiate their superior product from these cheap foreign imports. This is a complete betrayal of the American cattlemen. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

“Flooding the market with Argentinian beef is not America first. It is a huge betrayal of our American cattlemen,” Lahren wrote in one other tweet.

“Why do American ranchers always get screwed over? Simple. They don’t have big money lobbyists fighting for them. They don’t get subsidies. They aren’t even afforded country of origin labeling on their products. The meatpackers, on the other hand, have some of the most powerful lobbyists in the world. The American ranchers who just want to work hard and put out a great product to feed Americans are always the ones screwed over.”
