Here’s Pete in 2018 declaring “most affirmatively & indubitably, unto the ages, that I do favor Medicare for All.” He invoked his longstanding support back to 2004. He supported M4A when he started running. Then he raised a ton of health industry cash. Now he runs ads against it.
So Pete supported Medicare for All for 15 years, then flipped and started attacking other Dems over it after raising a ton of money from the health care industry. A reasonable person might conclude that the health care industry bought Pete’s opposition - and did so pretty easily.
Pete is welcome to change his position and explain why. But he is using a campaign funded in significant part by the health care industry to run ads attacking other Dems for holding a position he himself held for 15 years, and defended as recently as 2018.
Here’s another one. Pete sure did love Medicare for All super recently! But now he attacks his fellow Democrats for supporting it. A true man of principle!
I didn’t post links upthread so here is the 2018 chain where Pete professes strong strong for M4A. Also the 2004 Crimson op-ed he wrote calling for “single payer,” which he cited in 2018 as proof of his longstanding support for M4A. thecrimson.com/article/2004/3…
