Enlarge(Credit: CNBC)The most hated man in America — at least a couple weeks ago — just got the back of Bernie Sanders’ hand.
According to the Boston Globe, Martin Shkreli, the Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO who jacked up the price of Daraprim, the only drug for a rare parasitic disease, by some 4,000 percent, donated $2,700 to Sanders in late September, in hopes of getting a meeting with Sanders.
Bernie said not only no, but hell, no — then gave his money to a health charity.
“We are not keeping the money from this poster boy for drug company greed,” said Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs. The money’s going to the Whitman-Walker clinic in D.C. instead.
