Sanders disavows surrogate's corporate "whore" remark

23. There is no irony in being a minority shareholder in a pharmaceutical company or having a senior

leadership role in that company.

European countries have pharmaceutical companies but they still have universal, single payer insurance. I know that because I lived there and enjoyed the privilege of single payer, universal and AFFORDABLE insurance.

Dr. Song is an outstanding doctor, an oncologist as I understand it.

He did not specifically call Clinton a corporate whore, but politicians who take money from corporations (many of which do not pay their fair share of taxes) to corrupt our tax system, steal from us and our children and make us pay more for healthcare and accept worse results than other countries are corporate whores. Sorry if they hurts someone's feelings.

And remember this, it may hurt Democrats who take that dirty money to be called whores, but all they have to do is to pass reform of campaign finance law including a constitutional amendment that states that corporations are not people entitled to the right of free speech, and their corporate whoredom will end.

Let's change the campaign finance law.

The truth hurts. Those who take money from healthcare insurance companies, etc. who profit from the misery of the disabled and ill in order to get elected to political office are corporate whores.

If the shoe fits, wear it.
