Wow! With the eyes of the whole nation, and some of the world on her, Democrat senator Elizabeth Warren openly did what she's been getting paid ( a lot of money) for. That is to run protection for big pharma, in the US Senate. In the hearing on the confirmation of Robert Kennedy Jr, Warren boldly asked Kennedy to promise to not "take any compensation from any lawsuits against drug companies while you are secretary and for four years afterward" . What????
What kind of goofball question is that ? Why should anybody agree to not sue a company (if they ought to be sued) ?
Kennedy responded > ""You're asking me to not sue drug companies," and he said he would not agree to that. Well of course not.
Especially when the only reason Warren was asking that was to protect the guys who have been paying her off with $5 Million, from the healthcare sector and associated industries, during her failed presidential bid.
She got $2,366,613 by health professionals, $1,600,888 by hospitals and nursing homes, $644,499 from miscellaneous health industries and $625,580 from the pharmaceuticals and health products industry, according to OpenSecrets.
