On Thursday, United States Senator Elizabeth Warren doubled down on her claims that she doesn’t take contributions from big pharma executives. Senator Warren also claimed on Tuesday to Loomer Unleashed that she did not take any contributions from big pharma executives. Warren made these claims after leaving RFK JR’s United States Senate Finance Committee vote. However, FEC records show that Warren accepted donations from the Sackler family, who have been sued for their role in the opioid crisis. Sadly, Senate Democrats have resorted to distorting the truth in an attempt to obstruct President Trump’s nominees.
We greeted Massachusetts’ esteemed United States Senator, “Hello, Senator Warren.”
Warren: “Hi.”
Loomer Unleashed: “I was doing research into your last claims, and FEC reports show you took money from the Sackler family.”
Warren: “No, read my website instead.”
Loomer Unleashed: “Is the FEC wrong.”
Senator Warren then made her way to obstruct President Trump’s policies before returning to speak with Loomer Unleashed.
Loomer Unleashed: “Senator, are the FEC reports showing you took money from Beverly Sackler wrong?”
Warren: “I don’t know who is paying you to do this. But let’s just be clear. Look at my website. I do not take money from drug company CEOs or corporate PACs. This is all a lie that you or someone who is paying you is trying to spin together.”
On Tuesday, Loomer Unleashed asked Senator Warren, “Is your acceptance of $5.2 million from the Big Pharma industry since 2020 the reason why you don’t want RFK JR suing Big Pharma?”
Senator Warren responded with, “I don’t take contributions from big Pharma executives, I don’t take any corporate PAC money, and you and your allies already know that.”
FEC records show that members of the Sackler family have been donating to Warren since 2012.
Before she died, Beverly Sackler donated to Elizabeth for MA INC, a political campaign committee tied to Elizabeth Warren. The New York Times obituary for Beverly Sackler read, “Ms. Sackler was the matriarch of the company whose drug OxyContin has been blamed for the opioid epidemic.”
Last month, Texas AG Ken Paxton announced he secured $7.4 billion from the Sackler family for their role in the opioid crisis. Part of Paxton’s statement reads, “Purdue, under the Sacklers’ leadership, invented, manufactured, and aggressively marketed opioid products for decades, fueling waves of addiction and overdose deaths across the country. The settlement ends the Sacklers’ control of Purdue and their ability to sell opioids in the United States. Further, it will deliver funding directly to communities across the country over the next 15 years to support opioid addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery programs. The $7.4 billion settlement in principle, the nation’s largest settlement to date with individuals responsible for contributing to the opioid crisis, comes after the United States Supreme Court overturned a prior multistate settlement with the Sacklers and Purdue in June 2024.”
Elizabeth Warren’s lie about not accepting contributions from big pharma executives is getting worse by the day. It would be inexcusable if any Senate Republican joined Senator Warren in voting against RFK Jr.’s confirmation on the Senate floor.
