Paul Pelosi Jr, Nancy Pelosi’s son, is connected to a long list of fraudsters, rule-breakers, and convicted criminals.

Nancy Pelosi has come under fire from members of even her own party for her defense of congressional stock trading.

Pelosi has greatly benefited from this.

From Local 12:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., drew blowback from progressives and government ethics watchdogs Wednesday after defending the right of members of Congress to trade individual stocks amid deepening concerns about corruption and insider trading.

“We are a free-market economy,” Pelosi said at a news conference. “They should be allowed to participate in that.”

Many on the left who were already frustrated with Democratic leadership for a failure to advance their top priorities lashed out at the speaker on social media. Alongside struggles to extend the enhanced child tax credit and forgive student loan debt, they warned an open embrace of members freely trading stocks could dampen enthusiasm among the party’s base.
