U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sat down for an interview with Yahoo! Finance and told them that it’s “not really a mystery” why Congress, as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, won’t ban members from trading stock and accused a “majority” of lawmakers of doing it.
“It’s not really a mystery to me why it’s difficult to pass. An enormous amount — I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a majority of members of Congress — hold and trade individual stock. I don’t know the actual numbers, but it is a very large degree. And you know, the key here is that it’s not to say that you can’t have a retirement fund or a college savings account,” the young socialist told Yahoo! Finance on Jan. 27. The interview was published on Wednesday.
