Donald Trump worked with the Make America Healthy Again movement to put real food back in school cafeterias.
Democrats see the bogeyman hiding under every cafeteria tray.
And a Portland Democrat just called that decision a white supremacy conspiracy – and then said something that made the whole thing even worse.
Rep. Maxine Dexter Called the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act a White Supremacy Dog Whistle
At a town hall event, Representative Maxine Dexter of Oregon told her constituents to ignore the MAHA push for whole milk – because in her mind, it's a white supremacy conspiracy.
This is the same bill that passed Congress with bipartisan support and reversed Michelle Obama's 13-year ban on whole milk in school cafeterias.
"Please ask for the science-based regimens, not whatever RFK Jr. is getting kickbacks on, or whatever whole milk white supremacy dog-whistling that's happening right now," Dexter said.
Then, almost immediately, she caught herself: "I'm getting a little too political."
A sitting member of Congress just called milk racist on camera – and then admitted she knew the moment the words left her mouth that she'd gone too far.
Dexter isn't some fringe figure talking to three people in a coffee shop.
She's a physician, a North Portland resident, and the United States Representative for Oregon's Third Congressional District – which covers most of Portland.
And she just told Oregon parents that packing whole milk into their kid's lunch is a dog whistle to white nationalists.
PETA Called Milk Racist in 2017 — Democrats Are Still Running the Same Play
Dexter didn't invent this lunacy from scratch.
PETA ran this exact play back in 2017 when it published a post titled "Why Cow's Milk Is the Perfect Drink for White Supremacists" – claiming dairy was a symbol used by the far right because white Europeans are statistically more likely to be lactose tolerant.
The internet responded with 11,000 mocking replies.
But that didn't stop the left from picking the idea back up nine years later.
Just three weeks before Dexter's town hall, NYU bioethics professor Arthur Caplan published a piece warning that whole milk is a "dog whistle to far right, white nationalists."
So the script was already written.
Dexter just read it out loud in public, on camera, to her own voters.
What the Dietary Guidelines Actually Say About Whole Milk in Schools
A 2020 review of 28 studies found that children who drink whole milk are 40% less likely to be overweight or develop obesity than kids who drink lower-fat options.
The 2025-2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines now favor full-fat dairy with no added sugars.
RFK Jr. said it plainly at the White House signing ceremony: removing whole milk from schools did not improve children's health.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins called Michelle Obama's 2012 policy what it was – a "short-sighted campaign to ditch whole milk" that left kids reaching for caffeinated and sweetened drinks instead.
Dairy farmers, nutrition experts, and parents had been saying this for 13 years.
Trump listened.
Democrats Have Lost the Plot
Dexter isn't just embarrassing herself – she's showing exactly what the Left does when Trump wins.
They built their brand around "follow the science."
They spent four years demanding Americans trust the science on everything.
Now a Democrat physician in Congress is calling milk racist while the actual dietary guidelines and the actual peer-reviewed studies say the opposite.
Trump won on this one. The bill passed. Whole milk is back. And Dexter is on camera calling it a racist conspiracy.
Dexter even caught herself mid-spiral: "I'm getting a little too political."
She kept going anyway.
The RNC Research team caught it on video, and it's already been seen by hundreds of thousands of people.
Somewhere in rural Oregon right now, a dairy farmer who voted for Trump is watching his own congresswoman call his livelihood a racist dog whistle.
That's the Democrat Party in 2026.
Up next for Maxine Dexter: accusing a carrot of systemic racism.
