The Maine senator falsely claimed she had never taken money from members of the Sackler family, which owns the company that produces OxyContin.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) claimed earlier this month that she had never taken money from the Sackler family, which owns the pharmaceutical company that produces the opioid pain medication OxyContin.
Collins campaign finance records, however, show that she did.
In a video encounter, posted Thursday by the Maine Beacon, Collins was urged by a constituent to return contributions from Eli Lilly and other pharmaceutical companies that make affordable products.
Collins responded by noting that federal officials cannot accept money directly from corporations (though she has received tens of thousands from pharma companies' official political action committees).
