    WATCH: Tucker Carlson calls on GOP Sen. Burr to resign amid stock selloff

    Conservative Fox News host Tucker Carlson called on Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) to resign after reports that he sold off millions in personal stocks the week before the stock market began its steep dive amid fears of the COVID-19 outbreak.

    Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly offloaded between $582,029 and $1.56 million of stock on Feb. 13 in almost 30 different transactions days after lawmakers on the intelligence committee were briefed on the virus.


    Burr is a horrible creature. Could't happen to a nicer guy.

    What about Loeffler (R-GA)?

    On Twitter she claims there is nothing to it as the stocks are managed by a 3rd party with no input from her. If so what an amazing coincidence.

    Burr is funny, he was one of 3 senators to vote against the STOCK act "The bill prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading by members of Congress and other government employees. It confirms changes to the Commodity Exchange Act, specifies reporting intervals for financial transactions"

    These people need to resign and investigated. Let's not forget Dianne Feinstein has done the same.

    And Feinstein!
    Odd that the two I have seen mentioned most are Rs, but Feinstein sold more than either! and you hear nothing!

    Devil's advocate: this wasn't for profit, it was to prevent losses. If you know you are going to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in the stock market because of inside information, it has to be hard to just sit on that information. Some would even say it would be stupid to do so.

    Martha Stewart got 5 months jail time for avoiding $43K in losses for insider trading in non-crisis situation where she was not a elected Senator.

    Just throwing that out for comparison.

    On the other hand, these Congresspeople had no information that wasn’t available to everyone. Anyone paying attention knew this was going to happen. The question is “do you sell”?

    There may be some hypocrisy involved, but it is not limited to Congress. Financial advisers for the masses (Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Schwab, etc.) tell everyone to hold tight, don’t sell, while the big players (top 1%) sell like mad. I’d dare say it isn’t the common man that creates these panics.

    As I type, there is someone from Nicholas Wealth Management on Fox Business talking about selling even more right now so they will have cash to buy when it bottoms. It’s manipulation. They and their big clients already sold. What they are trying to do is drive out all of the common people, so that they can buy at an even lower bottom.

    The outrage is much bigger than Congress.
