Democratic New Jersey gubernatorial hopeful Mikie Sherrill accepted more than $25,000 in campaign donations from pharma giants accused of supercharging the opioid crisis, despite claiming her GOP rival had blood on his hands from the same calamity during last week’s crucial debate. Sherrill, 53, had shocked observers by linking one of Jack Ciattarelli’s medical publishing companies that disseminated a piece downplaying the risks of opioids to the deaths of Garden Staters. “You killed tens of thousands of people by printing your misinformation, your propaganda, and then getting paid to develop an app so that people could more easily get the opioids once they were addicted,” Sherrill alleged to a visibly taken aback Ciattarelli.
