Recently, Martin Shkreli donated the maximum allowable personal contribution ($2,700) to Bernie Sanders' Presidential Primary campaign...and along with the donation, requested a meeting with Bernie, so that they could "talk it out."

Bernie not only refused the donation, but states that Shkreli is not getting any meeting.

From The Boston Globe:
Campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said Sanders won’t keep the money. Instead, the campaign will make a $2,700 donation to the Whitman-Walker health clinic in Washington. “We are not keeping the money from this poster boy for drug company greed,” Briggs said.

Poster Boy For Drug Company Greed

Shkreli stated he made the donation in hopes of getting the meeting so that he could 'splain why drug companies set prices as they do.

Bernie already knows why, Shkreli: GREED!

Now THIS is the kind of guy I want in the White House!!
