NEW: Conservative Cassidy Criticizes “Pelican State Pelosi” Liberal Letlow For Swampy Stock Trades

Baton Rouge, LA — Conservative Senator Bill Cassidy today called for his new bill to crack down on stocks to pass in a new op-ed in State Affairs.

Conservative Cassidy also called out “Progressive Leader” Julia Letlow for her record of sketchy stock trades and her refusal to support legislation to stop her trading schemes.

From the op-ed:

“During the first State of the Union Address of his second term, President Donald J. Trump called on Congress to pass the Stop Insider Trading Act. This commonsense reform is one of the most important bills Congress has before them, and I am proud to join President Trump’s call for action.

“...one of my opponents in my race for the U.S. Senate, Julia Letlow, has stayed silent and refused to support this commonsense legislation.

Meanwhile, troubling questions have emerged surrounding Letlow’s own stock trading disclosures. Earlier this year, reports revealed that she disclosed more than 200 stock and bond transactions well after the deadlines required by federal law. After only a short time in Congress, it seems she wasted no time in advancing her own financial strategy.

According to public filings, many of those trades were reported months – or even more than a year – after the required reporting window had passed. The transactions ranged widely in value, with the total estimated value of the trades reaching from hundreds of thousands to potentially millions of dollars based on disclosure ranges. But under the STOCK Act, members of Congress are still personally responsible for ensuring their financial disclosures are accurate and filed on time.”

“Progressive Leader” Letlow’s multifaceted stock enrichment fiasco is yet another reason why Letlow does not want to do real debates with Sen. Cassidy.
