GNC stores, guess who owns them ?
[Kootenaijournal] In the nearly six minute video, Harrigan explains how China took control of an American company and positioned itself in the heart of America’s military operations, exposing the U.S. to a significant national security threat.
Harrigan introduced the Military Installation Retail Security Act, a bill he said, "does what should’ve been done a long time ago" to protect America from foreign adversaries.
Below is a portion of Harrigan’s statement:
"What if I told you that there is a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party, independently operating over 80 retail stores on United States military bases?
Let me be clear: a foreign adversary has a physical, ongoing presence on our military installations, inside the wire, with possible access to our personnel and their information.
These stores are not directly monitored by the Department of Defense and they are run with limited federal oversight.
They are independently staffed, supplied, and managed by GNC, a national nutrition and supplement retailer that is now entirely owned and controlled by a hostile federal government.
And every single day, American service members walk through their doors.
They scan their IDs, they swipe their credit cards, they provide phone numbers, emails, and home addresses, they enroll in loyalty programs, some even hand over sensitive health information through supplement consultations.
