Rob Bresnahan has a new excuse for why he won’t fulfill his promises to NEPA voters: He’s worried about his own bottom line.
In a new interview with WVIA, the congressman is pressed on why he simply won’t stop trading stocks while in Congress. Bresnahan makes a stunning admission, confessing that he won’t stop trading because he doesn’t want to “just leave it all in the accounts and just leave it there and lose money and go broke.” Never mind the fact that Bresnahan reported “assets ranging from about $18.8 million to almost $77 million.”
It’s hard to get more out of touch than that.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Multi-millionaire Rob Bresnahan is full of shit. He campaigned on a promise to ban congressional stock trading, but is now saying that he must continue his prolific trading in order to prevent himself from going broke. He doesn’t care about his constituents – he only cares about his bottom line.” |
