It’s quite the magical Christmas when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is enthusiastically defending the free-market system and a former Obama administration ethics chief is lambasting the Democrats. Of course, the second event was precipitated by the dubious circumstances in which the first occurred, but you can’t always get everything you want.
Walter Shaub, the former head of the Office of Government Ethics, torched Pelosi after she defended the ability of lawmakers to own and trade stocks during a media briefing Wednesday, shortly after Insider reported 52 members of Congress and 182 of their senior-level staffers violated the STOCK Act, a law which weakly polices stock trades by those individuals and their spouses. (STOCK stands for Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge.)
Pelosi’s response was even more tepid than the law’s enforcement — which is little surprise, considering that Pelosi isn’t exactly impoverished herself. (Pelosi’s hypocrisy on issues of her personal privilege is something we’ve covered frequently here at The Western Journal, despite the fact that few mainstream outlets have bothered giving incidents like her infamous lockdown-defying haircut last year the coverage it deserves.
