Pictured below is the face of the kind of arrogant company CEO that drives susceptible, under-educated young adults into the arms of socialist Bernie Sanders.
Remember him? That’s former drug company CEO Martin Shkreli, nicknamed “Pharma Bro,” who testified today on Capitol Hill before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Shkreli was one of several pharmaceutical executives called to address the rapidly rising cost of pharmaceuticals.
As you may recall, Shkreli, the former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, earned the nickname of “Most Hated Man in America” after he raised the price of a life-saving drug from $13.50 to $750 per pill. Like a certain other business mogul, he loves to turn to social media — namely Twitter — to defend his business practices and outrage his critics.
He fell mostly silent in the face of the House Committee today, however, due to his insistence on pleading the Fifth Amendment. The smirks, grins, and downright childish behavior of the 32-year-old however, did not dispel the Most Hated Man moniker. Watch below. Even tough former prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy — who did manage to land one small jab — was left stunned.
The real derision Shkreli exhibited was toward Rep. Elijah Cummings, who in my opinion played a weak hand by pleading with Shkreli to use his influence to help lower drug prices. Like a shark, Shkreli sensed weakness. Watch:
But Shkreli didn’t stop there. He tweeted out his contempt for Congress during the hearing.
