HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised President Donald Trump on Monday morning at an Executive Order signing to lower prescription drug prices for Americans by 30 – 80%.
Kennedy said this has been a promise of politicians like Bernie Sanders and others who, ultimately, couldn’t get the job done because they are beholden to drug companies.
“This is an extraordinary day. This is an issue that — I get up in the Democratic Party and every Democratic leader in the last 20 years has been making this promise,” Kennedy said. “But as it turns out, none of them were doing it. It’s one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing they will never have to do it — and they know they will never have to do it because they know that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry.”
“The industry itself spends three times what the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. So, this was an issue that people talked about but no one wanted to do anything because it was radioactive,’ Kennedy continued. “We now have a president who is a man of his word who has the courage — President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical companies, too — I think they gave him $100 million dollars — but he can’t be bought.”
“There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump,” Kennedy added.
