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.

Sanders is one person that I wouldn't question the integrity of. Malicious dopes, would, but I wouldn't.

    And honestly? If he did something unethical let's call him out for it. But it doesn't invalidate everything good he currently fights for. I've made mistakes, neither of us is perfect...

    Editing to add: We can't have inhuman perfection be the standard to meet when they have a literal rapist and felon in the White House!
