Senators Warren and Sanders Expose Themselves as Big Pharma Tools at RFK Jr. Hearing

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, two self-professed 'socialist' champions of the people, have gotten filthy rich off of their shticks as populist social justice warriors.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s confirmation hearings were expected to be intense.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services wields immense power in America’s broken medical system, for right or wrong. There is so much at stake: NIH is slated to receive at least $50 billion in taxpayer funding for FY2025.

President Donald J. Trump’s “pause” on NIH grant reviews has already sent the Public Health Complex (PHC) into a panic.

Elected officials who have been bought off to show complacency, and even complicity, in the face of the nation’s worsening healthcare crisis were inevitably going to reveal their true colors in the RFK Jr. hearings.

Such was the case with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, two self-professed “socialist” champions of the people, who have gotten filthy rich off of their shticks as populist social justice warriors seeking to hold big corporations accountable.

Let’s stop for a moment and survey how their lifestyles in no way comport with their alleged concern for the common man.

Bernie Sanders is a millionaire and is estimated to be worth about $3 million.

Bernie Sanders’ home on Lake Champlain.

Sanders, famously, owns a couple of fancy homes. This is from The Street:

As of 2024, Sanders and his wife own two properties in Vermont: a 2,500-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath single-family home located in Burlington that Sanders purchased in 2009. It is currently valued by Zillow at around $699,000.

In 2016, Sanders bought a 4-bedroom cabin on the shores of Lake Champlain for $575,000. Zillow estimates its price to have appreciated to $909,000 in 2023.

What about Elizabeth Warren? Her net worth is estimated to be at $4,000,000.

Warren, infamously, reaped over $400,000 from teaching as an adjunct professor at Harvard University, based in part on her debunked lie that she is part “Native American.”

Now, that brings us to the RFK Jr. hearings and their dishonest attacks against the HHS Secretary nominee.
