Reply to comment by turbulance4 in Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks by turbulance4

Can you link to a source that shows her being the worst violator?

I'm not actually trying to make that claim (although it may be true). I am claiming she is the most well known for being an inside trader. In other words, her name shows up most in news headlines and whatnot about it. She has the name recognition for this particular form of corruption.

She does because of her husband. She gets a lot of the headlines for it but she's typically not at the top herself, her husband is.

Unusual whales is the biggest tracker of all of this and they call it the Pelosi metric for a reason, but there's plenty of Republican Congressional members who take part as well. This isn't one sided at all.

Congress members and their immediate families should not be allowed to trade while they're in office. If they need to make 150 million dollars like what the Pelosis are worth, they can retire.

You literally made that claim. Read your own comment again.

Her name shows up most on alt-right blogs and propaganda sites, I'll agree to that. The left isn't obsessed with her.

My apologies if I typed it out poorly and you misunderstood. I did not mean to make that claim.

Are these "alt-right blogs and propaganda sites"?
