Ah, the old “you’re just jealous of my success” argument.

(it’s been a favorite put-down in right wing circles for the past several years).

Ahh, Ms Loeffler, your capitalism is selling off stock after receiving a privileged national security briefing prior to a global pandemic . All in favor?

From a different article, I had not realized that her husband was the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.

Not that there’s anything right with that…

Makes you wonder who has the better access to insider trading opportunities, him or her…

I’m sure this will go over well with the voting public. And since she has a Trumpist challenger on her right, she won’t get the chattering class of sycophants to repeat and magnify her whines of protest.

“During an interview with Fox News, the senator said that she and her husband had liquidated their stocks to ‘make sure that we can’t be attacked for our success’.”

Virgil Sollozzo pushed heroin to make sure he couldn’t be attacked as an anti-vaxxer.

I changed my registration to Republican just to get a chance to vote Ann Coulter’s long lost twin sister out of office. I will vote against her in the primary, and if she survives, I will vote against her again in the general election. And no she is no moderate, she is as big a Trump-turd as Doug Collins.

No GOP primary for Loeffler - the November election is a jungle primary including her, Trump bootlicker Doug Collins, and all Democratic challengers.

Using insider information to time your stock trades isn’t capitalism.
