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.

      Idk where you draw that conclusion from. Many of us are quite aware many democrats are in bed with lobbyists. The main issue here is that RFK tries to slander Bernie Sanders who is one of the least corrupt politician we have.

      We’re talking about Bernie Sanders taking money from Big Pharma. If you have any evidence that he did, please share.
