Make no mistake, he's an awful person and his trumpeting of these reforms is at least partially cynical, but he's right. So is AOC when she pushes for the same reforms. But Pelosi said no, so no.

What has he done and what have I posted? I made like 5 posts and no topics this morning, some video game related and most were pro palestine which is the opposite view of republicans and democrats like the ones listed.

Hes not pushing for Ethics reform

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-gaetz-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-congress-stock-ban-bill/

May 2, 2023

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers have unveiled a bill that would prohibit members of Congress from owning and trading individual stocks, a proposal aimed at restoring public trust by preventing lawmakers from profiting off insider information.

In a sign that the measure enjoys support across the ideological spectrum, the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act is sponsored by GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz and Brian Fitzpatrick and Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Raja Krishnamoorthi.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/16/nancy-pelosi-federal-lawmakers-should-be-able-to-trade-stock.html

Dec 16 2021

Despite bipartisan support for prohibiting members of Congress from buying and holding individual stocks in office, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Wednesday that lawmakers should be allowed to make trades while serving.

Were a free market economy, Pelosi told reporters during a news conference. They should be able to participate in that.

Pelosis statement comes days after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., reiterated her support for banning lawmakers from the practice.

Don't. Don't be that guy.

I certainly hope Gaetz has problems with the Ethics committee.

Sex traffickers don't deserve a moment's rest.

Go on, 14-year old account with 143 karma. Tell us how me saying, and I quote, "he's an awful person" in the OP and calling him an "awful person" in the title is me simping for him.

I don't think I need to since I'm not the one that made this topic to argue in support of Matt Gaetz but maybe you should tell us more

But the probe into Hunter is bullshit and has been obviously so since 2020, the probe into Gaetz (which is what he seems to be complaining about) is most likely legit.

What is he right about?

His attempts to deflect are obvious, but his method of deflection (banning stock trade for Congresspeople) is something we should all be pushing for.

I can get behind banning stock trading for them.
