You may have read about Turing Pharmaceuticals owner Martin Shkreli being a total jerk on social media in response to his company raising the price of Daraprim, a drug used to treat toxoplasmosis, a medical condition that can be fatal to people with AIDS and developing fetuses, from $13.50/pill to a whopping $750/pill. If not, you can read about it here.
However, when I was looking on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) website about political donations that Martin Shkreli made, I managed to find one political donation that I am 100% certain is of Turing Pharmaceuticals’s Martin Shkreli, and that is a $33,400 donation that Shkreli made to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) on July 18th of this year:
The fact that the DSCC is taking money from people as odious as Martin Shkreli is disgusting and not in line with the progressive values that the Democratic Party should stand for.
I’ve created an online petition where you can tell U.S. Senator and DSCC Chairman Jon Tester (D-MT) and the DSCC to take the $33,400 they accepted from Shkreli and donate it to charity, preferably one whose mission is to help find a cure for AIDS. You can sign that petition here.
The Progressive Midwesterner 
Shkreli is dispicable.

@Artoo.Twoyew,
Political contribution evidence at a Macro level reveals that, between 1990-2016, the pharmaceutical industry donated 64% of their contributions to Republicans and 35% to Democrats.

So? Shkreli’s the “most hated business man in America” and he’s a Democrat contributer and a Sanders supporter. Deal with it.

He seems like the sort of Libertarian blowhard who would bribe both sides of the aisle for business purposes….

If there were evidence that Shkreli donated to any Republican causes, don’t you think that Progressive Midwesterner would be reporting that to us also, right here, right now?

He’s a Democrat activist, just trying to stir the pudding for more regulation.
