RFK Jr. and Bernie Sanders Get Into Screaming Match Over Big Pharma
newrepublic.com
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the Vermont senator of being in Big Pharma’s pocket.

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.

    So you don’t want people to vote for the candidate you support? Or don’t really care that much? I can understand weariness.

      What? Where did I say (or even imply) anything about not wanting other people to vote for someone? I was speaking only for myself.

        So we need to be pandering more to complete fucking morons?

        Plenty of Trump supporters say and do all sorts of stupid fucking shit.

        I’m just trying to figure out your goal with communicating in this fashion. What’s the desired effect?
