Michigan House Candidate Says She Would Ban Stock Trading Among US Officials To 'Fight Corruption.'

As Biden's Ukraine Ambassador, She Made 179 Stock Trades Worth Up to $4M.
Bridget Brink's stock purchases included shares in Chinese automakers that are direct competitors to American companies that employ thousands in her district

As U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, House candidate Bridget Brink was an energetic stock trader, making 179 individual stock trades worth between $754,000 and $4 million while in office, according to more than two dozen ethics disclosures filed with the State Department and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Now, as the leading candidate in the Democratic primary for a Republican-held congressional seat in a Michigan swing district, Brink says she will fight to ban federal officials, including presidential appointees like U.S. ambassadors, from engaging in individual stock trading as part of her plan for "fighting corruption and defending democracy."


"I've been criticized as 'focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption,'" she said after releasing her plan. "I believe there's no such thing."

So, like Nazi Pelosi, she was for it before she was against it and had already made her millions. :goalpost:

So now that she made her coin, she wants to pull up the ladder?  I want the grift stopped as much as the next guy, but not by her!
I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.
