If you were wondering what Martin Shkreli has been up to lately, wonder no more, because the answer is picking fights with comedians.
The price-gouging former executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals recently got in an online tussle with Stephen Colbert, and it would seem he decided that Oswalt would be his new target on Monday night. Oswalt, for his part, was making fun of Donald Trump with a recent mocking hashtag last night, and Shkreli tried to strike up a conversation the way he does best.
This #TrumpCantSwim hashtag thing is ridiculous. He can swim, right?

Shkreli gave a callback to his Colbert jab to brag about how funny he is, but Oswalt kept the snark coming:
same w/colbert. u guys can deliver a joke but that doesn’t make you smart. plus i’m funnier. @StephenAtHome @pattonoswalt its called talent
