Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, just pocketed a cool $4.7 million in a single day of stock trading. While the left lectures us on fairness, it seems some are fairer than others. Quiver Quantitative, a stock market watchdog, dropped this bombshell on Monday, raising eyebrows across the nation.
A stock market watchdog reported that Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s household earned $4.7 million on Monday, boosting their net worth to $261.9 million.
KOMO News reported that this tidy sum, done under Paul Pelosi’s name, is 26 times Nancy’s annual congressional salary. Funny how powerful Democrats in Congress always seem to beat the market.
Quiver Quantitative tracked the trades, pinning the windfall on Paul Pelosi’s savvy moves. The timing couldn’t be worse for Democrats preaching equality while their spouses play Wall Street wizard. It’s almost as if the rules don’t apply to them.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Pelosi rushed to clarify: Nancy doesn’t own stocks. “Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks,” the representative insisted via email. Sure, but when your husband’s raking in millions, that’s a distinction without a difference.
The spokesperson doubled down, claiming Nancy has “no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions.”
Forgive the skepticism, but it’s hard to believe there’s no pillow talk about stock picks in the Pelosi household. Actions speak louder than denials.
That $4.7 million haul pushed the Pelosi fortune to a staggering $261.9 million, per Quiver Quantitative. While regular Americans scrape by, the Pelosi family’s wealth grows like a hedge fund on steroids. Equality for thee, but not for me.
The news sparked fresh outrage over lawmakers trading stocks. When politicians’ families profit like this, it’s no wonder trust in Congress is lower than a snake’s belly. The Pelosi portfolio is Exhibit A in why reform is overdue.
Lawmakers from both sides are fed up. Sens. Josh Hawley, Bernie Sanders, and John Fetterman backed a 2024 bill to force Congress into blind trusts. Finally, a bipartisan push to stop the insider game—about time.
Sen. Hawley’s PELOSI Act, reintroduced in 2024, takes direct aim at this nonsense. It would slap fines on lawmakers and their spouses for trading individual stocks. Named after Nancy herself, it’s a polite jab at the queen of convenient timing.
Hawley didn’t mince words about his bill. “Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public,” he said. He’s not wrong—when Congress beats the market, it’s not luck; it’s leverage.
Hawley’s measure is a gut punch to the swamp. “It’s time we ban all members of Congress from trading and holding stocks,” he declared. Restoring trust in Washington starts with ending these get-rich-quick schemes.
The PELOSI Act would force lawmakers to park their money in blind trusts, cutting off the insider edge. Imagine the howls from Capitol Hill if this passes. The gravy train might finally derail.
Paul Pelosi’s $4.7 million day isn’t just a headline; it’s a symptom of a broken system. While Nancy’s team insists she’s clean, the optics are uglier than a woke DEI seminar. Perception is reality in politics.
Regular folks can’t drop millions on stocks and watch their wealth balloon overnight. Yet, the Pelosi family seems to have a golden touch. Coincidence? The public’s not buying it.
