It should be common sense that Chinese-owned, CCP-tied Smithfield Foods Smithfield Brand should not be allowed to influence U.S. policymaking with US lobbyists who deliberately hide the foreign ownership of the company. Lawmakers want to talk about social media influencers who are posting for foreign countries, and I agree... we should scrutinize them. But how come these same lawmakers have nothing to say about lobbyists who lie on their disclosure forms to hide the fact that they are lobbying for companies owned by China and other adversaries? We can walk and chew gum at the same time. This is one of the reasons why I have been leading the charge to encourage the DOJ to implement stronger FARA enforcement. Why stop at influencers when a Chinese-owned company has this much pull over American farmland and the US food supply? Smithfield's ownership is only one of the issues at hand. The company has bought up U.S. farmland, been accused of hiring illegal aliens, faced immigration raids at its plants and farms, and has been accused of hiring children for dangerous work at China-owned meatpacking plants. So why are Republicans like Ashley Hinson Ashley Hinson and Joni Ernst Joni Ernst taking money from China-owned Smithfield and helping them put the China-First SOB Act in the Farm Bill and control more US farmland?show more

@SmithfieldBrand Laura discovering that foreign money can influence American politicians is my favorite character arc. 😂 Now do Israel.

@SmithfieldBrand Why do we allow the CCP to own and operate a company on American soil? It’s ridiculous.

Hong Kong based WH Group formerly known as Shuanghui Group bought Smithfield Foods in 2013 for $4.7 billion, making it the largest Chinese acquisition of an American company at the time. they are headquartered in Luohe mainland China. they are China's largest meat processing company they also own Eckrich®, Nathan's Famous®, Carando®

@SmithfieldBrand @SecRubio @VP “Chinese-owned, CCP-tied Smithfield Foods @SmithfieldBrand should not be allowed to influence U.S. policymaking with US lobbyists who deliberately hide the foreign ownership of the company. why @RepAshleyHinson @SenJoniErnst China-First SOB Act … US farmland?”

@SmithfieldBrand They should’ve been prevented from buying this iconic American brand in the first place.

@SmithfieldBrand Interestingly Loomer found pork lobbyists thirteen years after China bought Smithfield.

@SmithfieldBrand No foreign government or related entity should be allowed to own US land or critical food production

@SmithfieldBrand Politicians are some of the cheapest Johns for the CCP.

@SmithfieldBrand We are the only country in the world that’s stupid enough to let our enemies come and buy all of our farm land.

@SmithfieldBrand Check this out too:

@SmithfieldBrand Politicians don’t care who gives them money. They only care about getting elected!! China knows this !!

@SmithfieldBrand They are all dirty!!!! Keep up the great work!!! MAGA!!!!

@SmithfieldBrand Not to mention the gestation crates, where sows can never turn around. All they can do is take one step forward or back, or lay down, their entire life.

@SmithfieldBrand You’re a ok with Argentina sending poison beef to the US that China rejected

@SmithfieldBrand I haven’t purchased any Smithfield products in years. When the Chinese took over the quality went down the drain! I don’t know how they were able to purchase the company? Shouldn’t have happened.

@SmithfieldBrand Tell trump. He seems to miss the obvious issues in his friendship with Xi.

@SmithfieldBrand 💯

@BnkPolitics @SmithfieldBrand Ms. Lumer, you are a true patriot. Because on the X platform, among elites from all walks of life, very few dare to openly criticize the CCP. These elites pretend to turn a blind eye to the CCP's various acts of sabotage against the United States, dare not discuss the CCP,

@SmithfieldBrand We need to take ownership away from China period!

@SmithfieldBrand Encouraged even more to pay a little more and buy from local butcher.

@SmithfieldBrand Laura discovering that foreign money can influence American politicians is my favorite character arc. 😂 Now do Israel.

@SmithfieldBrand Cool story, bro. We get it - you're against all foreign lobbying except by savages in Tel Aviv. Anyway, how's the lawsuit against your plastic surgeon going?

@SmithfieldBrand Good question!

@SmithfieldBrand As an Iowan; our Republicans are all crooked and not a friend to Iowa farmers, but my state keeps voting for them for some reason

@SmithfieldBrand This is smart, and really it should be done for everyone. This also creates a paper trail to track where money goes.

@SmithfieldBrand You are so wise. this puke will save the world.

In regard to “no hidden foreign principals, including allies,” 🇮🇱 🙌 are NOT clean. It has used cutouts, delayed disclosure of government grants, and legal structuring to avoid looking like a foreign agent. Some current influencer work still sits in a gray zone. Wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite now, would you …

@SmithfieldBrand You’re ugly as fuck. Lmao jesus.

@SmithfieldBrand No more Smithfield food for my family.

@SmithfieldBrand lobbyists should be illegal

@SmithfieldBrand Look at all the bots these daft twats paid for. Real truth is how many people like those posts

@SmithfieldBrand Neither should the Jews

@SmithfieldBrand The Smithfield purchase happened in 2013 for $4.72 billion. It was the largest Chinese acquisition of an American company at that time. Now they've acquired our 4th of July Tradition they now own the iconic hot dog brand Nathan's Famous for $450 million in an all-cash deal.

@SmithfieldBrand Thanks for the info Laura. I'm OFFICIALY done with Smithfield products. Keep up the good work.
