After bashing him, Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli donated money to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) presidential campaign only to be rebuffed, Stat reported.
We are not keeping the money from this poster boy for drug company greed, said campaign spokesperson Michael Briggs.
Instead, Briggs said, the $2,700 Shkreli donated the maximum individual donation allowed under electoral guidelines will be given to the Whitman-Walker health clinic in Washington.
Shkreli, who was hit with widespread criticism last month after he raised the price for the medication Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill, told Stat that he backs some of Sanders other policy proposals, but made the donation because he wanted to meet with him privately and explain how pharmaceutical companies set their prices. He also said that he would ask the senator what prices he would consider fair.

Georgia woman and her son were driving Monday afternoon when another driver pulled up very close behind her in the center lane.
The woman, 44-year-old Angelina Christiano, motioned for the Ford Mustang driver who had been tailing her to pull around her Corvette but instead he pulled alongside her and opened fire, reported WSB-TV.
Christiano was shot in the upper back and lost control of her car on Stone Mountain Freeway in DeKalb County, but her 25-year-old son was not injured.
She was hospitalized and listed in serious to critical condition.
The gunman fled the area and remains at large.

While all eyes were on Donald Trumps Twitter feed after he promised to live-tweet the Democratic debate, GOP candidate Mike Huckabee managed to win the night for the most outrageous tweet with an incredibly racist tweet aimed at Bernie Sanders.
After tweeting, Racism exists because we have a sin problem in American, not a skin problem, Huckabee followed up with a racist joke:
I trust @BernieSanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador! he wrote
Huckabees comment is based on a common slur against Asians, inferring that they would like to eat you pet dog.
Mike Huckabee tweets out racist joke about Asians eating dogs during Dem debate
