Aaron Rodgers comes out all guns blazing against Nancy Pelosi's stock trading - "It's embarrassing for our country"
Aaron Rodgers has shown his outspoken and free-spirited nature throughout his professional career. As the politics in the country keeps getting divisive, Rodgers has picked up a point targeting former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi has been involved with politics since 1976 and has been an elected member of the House of Representatives from California since 1987. As per the Washington Times, her net worth has ballooned to $250 million. In the same regard, several apps and internet websites have cropped up to track Nancy Pelosi’s stock trades.
As per Business Insider, several stock market players are now mimicking her moves in the stock market and consistently beating the S&P 500. Aaron Rodgers, during his appearance on the "Pardon My Take" podcast, took shots at Pelosi. Rodgers said:
“How about term limits? How about you can’t insider trade.
“You can track Nancy Pelosi’s [stocks]. She’s a hell of a stock trader. She’s got it down. It’s embarrassing, though. It’s embarrassing for our country.” [01:41:00 - 01:41:17]
Aaron Rodgers expresses his displeasure at the political situation
Rodgers has a history of delving into conspiracy theories. However, the Jets shot caller did not hesitate to call out the entire political class during his appearance on the podcast.
Aaron Rodgers said:
“Politics, I've said from the beginning, is an absolute sham. All they do is just talk about what they're going to do and then nothing life doesn't actually get better for any of us whether it's a Republican or Democrat. And we're still just doing the same f*cking two-party system.” [01:39:42 - 01:40:05]
Rodgers also expressed his disgust for the debate processes leading up to this year’s presidential elections. As such, the candidate he endorsed months ago, Robert F. Kenndy Jr., did not get the chance to get up on the stage. However, RFK Jr. still has a chance to make it to the second debate set to be held on Sept. 10.
