Joe Biden’s recent remarks that he now supports a stock trading ban on members of Congress was a shot at Nancy Pelosi who the outgoing president has a “bone to pick” with, one DNC official suggested.
Biden threw his support behind the congressional restriction on playing the market during a recent interview with Democrat operative Faiz Shakir on the “More Perfect Union” podcast.
“I don’t know how you look your constituents in the eye and know because the job they gave you, it gave you the inside track to make more money,” he told the host. “Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money while they’re in the Congress.”
That the hypocrite in chief waited until he only had a month left in office to call for the ban was directed at the former House speaker, at least in the opinion of DNC finance committee Lindy Li who has emerged as a vocal critic of her own party since the election.

During an appearance on Friday’s edition of “Fox News @ Night” on Fox News, Li was part of a panel discussing a recent Daily Mail piece suggesting that a “vengeful” First Lady Jill Biden is urging her husband to “burn the whole thing down” in his final days as revenge for his party replacing him with Kamala Harris who went on to lose the election.
When host Kevin Corke asked Li for her take on Emily Goodin’s reporting, she suggested that Biden’s sudden support for banning lawmakers profiting from insider trading was intended to be a jab at Pelosi, who along with Barack Obama, orchestrated the coup that stole Democrat nomination from him.
“She’s totally right, and we can see that happen when Joe forcefully came out and cited insider trading,” Li said. “It took him 50 years to get to that point, but you know why he did that? Because he still has a bone to pick with Nancy Pelosi.”
“He’s still very angry that he got summarily pushed aside, and he’s finally saying that no one in Congress should be able to trade on the inside information, and you know who’s notorious for that? Nancy Pelosi,”she added.
“Absolutely,” agreed Corke, putting in a plug for the popular Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker X account.
The purported public servant has benefitted from a phenomenal run of good luck in the stock market since she’s been a member of Congress with Pelosi becoming filthy rich from her fortuitous investments in tech stocks. According to Investopedia, the Speaker Emerita has a net worth of more than $240 million.
Li has been making the media rounds as the rare Democrat who is willing to publicly break with her party and has been especially critical of Harris, describing her failed White House campaign as a “$1 billion disaster.”
“I think, unfortunately, the Democratic Party has the stench of loser written all over the party,” Li told Corke during another Fox News appearance last week. “And I’m sorry, I’m speaking as a Democrat myself, this brings me no joy to say it, but I feel like the Democrats are going to be consigned to the wilderness for at least the next four to eight years.”
