AOC Takes on Pelosi’s Wallet, Says It's Time to Ban Congressional Stock Trading

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has reversed her stance on banning congressional stock trades after mounting pressure from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and progressives who claim the public is demanding that the practice be stopped.

“The people at home watching have made it too difficult to ignore,” Ocasio-Cortez declared on Thursday. She then pointed out that Congress needs to “stick the landing without any funny business” on new legislation.

She made her comments during a news conference on Thursday with Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH), as well as Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Joe Neguse (D-CO) according to Fox Business.
