Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused Bernie Sanders of taking millions from Big Pharma during a heated exchange, but Sanders refuted the claim, stating his donations came from workers, not corporate PACs.

Kennedy repeatedly insisted Sanders was the top recipient of pharmaceutical money in 2020, but financial data shows no corporate PAC contributions to Sanders.

Meanwhile, Kennedy has profited from anti-vaccine activism, earning millions from lawsuits and speaking fees.

The debate ended without Kennedy answering whether he would guarantee health care for all as HHS secretary.

        Lol. They ain’t got no money. Every politician is owned by someone, somewhere, Sanders is a good person but that doesn’t negate that axiom, and the shrillness is telling.

          Imagine thinking healthcare workers didn’t have enough money in 2020 of all years.

          What they didn’t have was rest if anything.

          Maybe you should do like RFK Jr and check for brain worms, since you forgot the damn pandemic.
