RFK Jr. dines with Big Pharma

And suspect in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO charged with murder

VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024 THE LATEST Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is already falling in line with Trump's corruption By James Downie During the Republican primaries, Donald Trump's campaign released "Agenda 47," a video series outlining his plans should he return to the White House. "Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma," Trump said in a video from June 2023. Another installment from the same month — one that is no longer online — focused on "taking on Big Pharma" by lowering prescription drug prices.   Trump has a long track record of talking tough in public and turning soft in private. But his alliance with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the campaign's closing months cracked the door to the possibility that Trump meant what he said. His choice of Kennedy for secretary of health and human services opened the door further, given that Kennedy is as stridently opposed to the pharmaceutical industry as he is thoroughly unqualified for a Cabinet position. But with more than a month still to go until Trump's inauguration, Kennedy is already falling in line with Trump's corrupt faux populism.   This is a preview of James Downie's latest article.
