Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has slammed big corporations and CEOs for 'greedflation,' while donor records show he financially benefits from these massive companies.

Longtime Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has made 'greedflation' and rising prices at stores a key election platform in 2024, but donor records reviewed by Fox News Digital show he’s benefited from the big stores he rails against on the campaign trail. 'Bob Casey calls it greedflation, and he's fighting back,' an ad published in March by the campaign says. 'My plan gives the Federal Trade Commission the power to punish corporate price gouging.

Fox News Digital reviewed Casey’s donor contributions and found that despite sounding the alarm that chicken prices have increased by 35%, the Casey campaign received $9,000 from a PAC representing the largest poultry producer in the U.S., Cargill Inc., since 2017, Federal Election Commission data shows.

Casey has also benefited from massive cereal producer Kellogg’s despite slamming cereal companies for providing the 'same packaging, smaller box, familiar logo, fewer servings amid the inflation woes under the Biden administration.' A review of FEC data shows PACs associated with Kellogg’s donated a combined $16,000 to Casey’s campaign since 2017. Kellogg's PAC, the Kellogg Company Better Government Committee, no longer exists after Kellogg's split into two companies last year.
