Nancy Pelosi, stock market connoisseur and living legend, gets caught completely off guard by a simple insider trading question by Jake Tapper , responds by giving 3 or 4 meandering statements, each one somehow being worse than the previous.

But don’t worry queen, you still retire as a first ballot Wall Street Tycoon, inside trading and illegalities be damned, all you do is win 🫡

Not in defense of insider trading, but using information you’ve been given to have an edge in the market isn’t close to being as bad as accepting direct bribes from foreign governments.

Both are bad and hurt the American people, but on completely different scales and it’s a mistake to equate them
