And once again Pelosi is highlighted despite many Republicans outperforming her in the market.
She hasn't been Speaker of the House for 2 years.
She's consistently a top trader and personally derailed efforts to ban stock trading. I think she deserves the heat.
Other Republicans are consistently ahead of her. They also voted against banning Congressional insider trading.
Yet it's only Pelosi.
I agree with you in that they should all be held accountable including Pelosi.
That said, the source is Fortune... I'm not exactly shocked that this article isn't 100% honest or telling whole-truths...
She was the minority/majority leader. She didn't just vote against it, she organized toothless counter proposals to defuse momentum. She's more responsible than any of those other (also terrible) Republicans.
Abso-fucking-lutely.
I'm an equal opportunity rule enforcer. Throw them all in federal prison.
I mean, we should just set up a big pitt. Like in that movie 300.
