WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews)-Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his unwavering critique of corporate influence on politics, laid bare what many Americans have long suspected: that Congress, including figures like Bernie Sanders, is deeply compromised by special interests, particularly from the pharmaceutical industry.

Kennedy did not shy away from calling out corruption, even directly pointing at Sanders, a senator who has built his career as a champion of working-class Americans and an advocate for Medicare for All. But RFK Jr., during a congressional hearing, dismantled that image in one sharp statement, declaring, “Almost every member of this panel, including yourself, accepts millions of dollars from the pharma industry!”
Kennedy’s bold accusation didn’t stop there. He aimed squarely at Sanders, adding, “In 2020, you were the largest receiver [of pharma contributions].” The remark seemed to strike a nerve with Sanders, who immediately denied the claim, exclaiming, “No, no, no, no!” Yet, the data Kennedy referenced, based on campaign contributions from that year, paints a troubling picture for those who trust Sanders as a true outsider in Washington.
RFK Jr.’s accusations hit at the heart of a critical issue in American politics: the influence of corporate money on public policy. For years, Kennedy has been a leading voice in questioning the cozy relationships between Big Pharma and politicians, arguing that the health of Americans is often compromised by the profits of the pharmaceutical industry. His allegations against Sanders serve as a stark reminder that even those who present themselves as independent, progressive fighters are not immune to the powerful grip of lobbyists.
This exchange highlights Kennedy’s unique position in American politics. While Sanders has repeatedly denied being influenced by corporate money, Kennedy’s willingness to call him out challenges the narrative that the Vermont senator is entirely free from special interests. RFK Jr.’s transparency about political corruption offers a breath of fresh air in a system where too many elected officials are beholden to donors rather than their constituents.
Sanders is a multi millionaire commie hypocrite.
How refreshing a new team calling a spade a spade and not afraid to say it loudly
B.S. is an old-time communist agitator who never worked a real job in his entire life, owns three houses, and has millions of dollars in the bank. Always red-faced, angry, and salivating, he is a disgrace to the Jewish People. Instead of loving America and showing a modicum of gratitude, he attacks this beautiful country that took in his father. Whether ranting and raving about health care or the Mexicans or the Blacks or the Alpha Bet psychopaths or our precious little State of Israel, B.S. never misses an opportunity to bite the hand that feeds him and bring more antisemitism upon us all. He is a disgusting human being.
Bernie Sanders the multi-millionaire had the same reaction when the multi-billionaire Bloomberg call him out on owning multiple properties and being exceptionately wealthy than the average American…
Give Bernie a nice Onesie pajama with a back door for his geriatric diaper. He seemd pretty disturbed by ones he didn’t like.
And what about Bernie’s Large wife who stole $10 Million in student loan money? Bernie sanders is worse than Bernie Madoff ever was

Wow ! Trump who is receiving billions in contributions is not compromised. Only everyone else is.
RFK JR is an idiot and a DEI hire.
“What about-ism” works but doesn’t excuse RFK’s own incompetence and other problems.
But rfk makes money by dissing people
“none of the above” is looking better and better by the minute. is there any way to get rid of both of these idiots? maybe, like matter and anti-matter, kennedy and sanders could just cancel each other out?
Wrong. That’s not “transparency” as much as “you do it to!”
And RFK couldn’t bring himself to say that he wouldn’t make money off of product liability suits, that he could directly influence as Sec’y.
No, he did not prove any corruption at all. I listened to the hearings and Bernie (even though I can’t stand him) was not hypocritical.
