Which Senators Are Owned by Big Pharma? RFK Jr.’s Confirmation Hearings Are Showing Us

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) have seen some of some of the harshest questioning of any of President Trump’s cabinet nominees by D.C. hardliners.

One upside to the acrimony is that Kennedy’s harshest critics and defenders of the status quo are now being publicly revealed as the lawmakers to whom the pharmaceutical industry has donated the most money.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is the largest recipient of money from Big Pharma, asked Kennedy if healthcare was a human right and then refused to let the HHS nominee answer his question with anything other than a “yes” or “no” answer.

Sanders would not let Kennedy differentiate between unalienable rights like free speech and man-made “rights” that create ever-increasing obligations to the government.

Sen. Sanders has been the recipient of nearly $2 million in donations from pharmaceutical companies.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) showed herself to be one of Kennedy’s most strident detractors and was, by far, the angriest of the lawmakers questioning him during yesterday’s confirmation hearing.

Sen. Warren accused Kennedy of wanting to sue vaccine manufacturers whose vaccines cause harm as a means of personally enriching himself and warned that holding Big Pharma accountable for any harm caused could bankrupt the industry.

Kennedy responded, “Senator, you’re asking me not to sue pharmaceutical companies,” to which Warren became enraged shouting, “No, I’m not!”

Warren is third on the list of U.S. Senators who have accepted large amounts of Big Pharma money having received nearly $1.2 million in donations from the drug industry.

Sanders and Warren are just two of the Senators engaging in astonishing hypocrisy for accusing Kennedy of trying to get rich at the expense of the health of the American public while lining their pockets with cash from Big Pharma.

Pay attention to who has accepted the most in drug industry money and it’s easy to connect the dots to who is fighting the hardest to prevent Kennedy from being confirmed.
