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.

At 74, Bernie Sanders is this years Democratic phenomenon in the White House race, urging Americans to launch a political revolution against billionaires and elites including his chief party rival, Hillary Clinton.
A substantial slice of Americans are frustrated with how Democratic leadership nearly seven years into Barack Obamas presidency has bumped up against the hard limits of political power, especially under a Republican-led Congress.
They claim that reducing inequality is a matter of leadership and political will and the jettisoning of a political class that is beholden to special interests.
Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, is no newcomer to politics: he served as mayor of Burlington from 1981 to 1989, and has been entrenched in Congress for nearly a quarter century.

Presidential contender Hillary Clinton shrugged off her slumping poll numbers on Monday and said the upcoming Democratic debates would give her a chance to draw a contrast with liberal Senator Bernie Sanders and other rivals as she makes her White House pitch directly to voters.
Youre supposed to have an election; youre supposed to have a contest, Clinton told reporters after a campaign event in Iowa, the state that will kick off the Democratic presidential nominating contest early next year.
When we start the debate, we will start to draw contrasts not only as I do all the time with Republicans but where appropriate with my Democratic competitors, she said.
Clinton, once the prohibitive favorite for the Democratic nomination for the 2016 presidential election, has seen her cushion dwindle in polls both nationally and in early-voting states such as Iowa and New Hampshire amid questions about her use of a private email server for her work as secretary of state.

This week, Donald Trump unveiled his plan for addressing immigration as president, a series of core principles that specify his heretofore generalized statements about Americas relationship with immigrants. Here are the items detailed in Trumps outline:
Construction of world-class border wall featuring hundreds of miles of sand traps and water hazards
Improved visa application will require immigrants to declare if they are rapist thugs
Creates robust Border Beauties division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Concierge and personal valet service across border for Mexicans with net worth of over $5 million
Clause allowing Trump to deport any current American citizens he deems pathetic and classless as well
U.S. citizenship application process to require recommendation letters from current notable U.S. citizens
Establishes long-term, forward-looking plan to find new nationality to scapegoat for Americas problems by 2035
Admission that U.S. economy will suffer quite a bit
