The Sackler family, which owns Purdue Pharma, "looked at drugs as a way to make billions of dollars," Gillibrand said.Aaron J. Thornton / MSNBCGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said Monday that drug manufacturers should be prosecuted for their role in the opioid crisis, and that if she's elected president, she'll attempt to hold companies like Purdue Pharma responsible.
"What we know from the evidence of what's been gleaned from what the Sackler family did and how they looked at drugs as a way to make billions of dollars and making sure the dosage was higher so it was more addictive," the New York senator said in a clip of the town hall released on Monday."The way they dampened down any investigation, any transparency and accountability, that is what we have to take on.
During the town hall, she also spoke out against President Donald Trump, criticized his secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, to big cheers and argued against Trump's tariffs and trade policies.
I hear Maury’s voice in my head, “...And that is a lie.”

She needs to talk to Cory Booker. Thos two are at cross purposes.
Narrator: there is zero chance she would do this. And zero chance she would succeed if she tried
