    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.

          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.
