‘Pharma Bro’ Martin Shkreli challenges Bernie Sanders to debate on healthcare

[Galraedia]

Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of taking “cheap shots” against him while also challenging the Democratic presidential candidate to a debate, Attn reported.

Shkreli, who became known as “Pharma Bro” after being widely criticized for raising the price of the medication Daraprim from $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill last month, lashed out at Sanders through his Twitter account.

“It’s amazing to me that you, desiring to be the leader of our country, are so misinformed,” Shkreli wrote. “Let’s have a public debate on this.”

He also accused the senator of not understanding the healthcare industry, saying, “I hope he debates this topic with me instead of relying on soundbites and cheap shots.”

I doubt he's able to beat "my pet rock"--let alone Sanders or Any of the Dem candidates for that matter-in a debate about Healthcare.

What a little punk, imo.

5. To quote Joe Biden: "Please proceed."

6. First of all, there is no way to justify raising the price of a medicine by 5000%

overnight. Especially for no reason beyond pure greed.
End of debate.
