| On the one year anniversary of “Liberation Day” tariffs, here’s a reminder that Congressman Rob Bresnahan “traded stocks heavily” as tariffs were announced and Northeastern Pennsylvanians got hit with rising prices.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Bresnahan completed the 2nd most trades of any member in Congress during the week that Trump announced major global tariffs – all despite the fact that Bresnahan campaigned on banning congressional stock trading.
In the year since Bresnahan traded off of the sweeping ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs, NEPA families have paid more than $1,700 in higher costs and businesses have seen operating costs rise and scrambled to stay afloat amidst the chaos.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Since the very first day he arrived in Washington, Rob Bresnahan has looked for ways to make a quick buck for himself while hurting his own community. He’ll have all the time in the world to play the stock market once voters reject him in November.”
