Shep Smith Would ‘Like to Nominate a Certain Person’ to Hit Martin Shkreli for Charity
Fox News’ Shep Smith has that wonderfully snarky streak that occasionally bubbles to the surface on the air, and he let it shine again when talking about Martin Shkreli.
See, the infamous “pharma bro” made an offer yesterday to auction of the chance to punch or slap him in the face in the name of a good cause:
I will auction one slap/punch in the face to benefit my friend Mike who passed away & leaves behind a young son who survived cancer. DM bids

I'll match donation to a certain point. You may video the slap/punch. Mike architected my publicity stunts & I bet he is watching, smiling. https://t.co/kqnvQtJ10T

So far the two highest bidders to punch or slap me in the face are for $78,000 and $25,500. Let me know!

I updated my listing such that if you do not want to hit me, and instead have dinner with me, you may. $1,100 bid. https://t.co/u61nDkkuC2

Smith reported on this today and dryly said, “I’d like to nominate a certain person to do that.”
The so-called "most hated man in America" @MartinShkreli is giving critics a chance to punch him in the face. He says it's for a good cause: pic.twitter.com/e5aoENe96h

And as for that dinner offer, Smith doubted anyone would take him up on that offer.
