Pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli trolled Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton after she was forced to leave a 9/11 ceremony after overheating Sunday.

The embattled former CEO of Turning Pharmaceuticals – who has been widely criticized for marking up a life-saving drug used to treat cancer and AIDS by 5,000 percent – periscoped the incident outside her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s New York apartment on Twitter.

“Are you alive? Do you need pharmabro’s help?” he yelled at the candidate, followed by a chant of: “Drop out.”

Shkreli later tweeted he attempted to track down the candidate in Manhattan for two hours before he finally found her.

WATCH:

He followed up the video with tweets praising his own efforts to heckle the candidate about her health woes.

Clinton’s doctor said the overheating was due to a case of pneumonia, to which he advised he adjust her schedule accordingly.

After Clinton left the ceremony, aides reportedly drove her to rest at Chelsea’s apartment to hydrate and rest.
