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.

    Yep one should never generalize anything that broad. Joe and maybe caroline. She at least sees the writing on the wall and has no desire to get involved with politics. Just living her own life

      I never met her. I have met Joe a few dozen times campaigning for candidates and gay marriage in MA decades ago.

        I can’t say I know a ton about her either. But I seem to remember in the early aughts there were some pushing for her to get involved in politics. And I know she’s come out against Robert Jr etc. And that’s at least two decent decisions. But Joe definitely sounds like a pretty stand-up guy.
