On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that top RFK Jr. ally Calley Means resigned from the administration, departing from his role as senior adviser “after frustrations with White House delays on Kennedy’s food agenda.” In response, 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton released the following statement:
“Calley Means has called it quits because the grifter got grifted,” said 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton. “It’s clear that top MAHA figures are distancing themselves from the administration because Trump and RFK Jr. have betrayed the promises that built their movement. Instead of taking on Big Food and Big Pharma, this administration has repeatedly sided with special interests, using Trump’s signature sharpie to boost the production of pesticides by executive order, loosen restrictions on peptides, and promote fruit-flavored vapes to children.
“The MAHA agenda is a failed experiment—RFK Jr. was the first to fold on the food industry and we have a president who lives on a steady diet of cheeseburgers and Diet Coke—Trump was never going to be an ambassador for MAHA’s food agenda. Nearly 50% of Independents and swing voters say MAHA has failed to deliver on its promises, and Calley Means’ departure confirms it. This administration has sold out the very people it claimed it would fight for. More heads will roll and we expect RFK Jr. will be next in Trump’s firing line.”
