        Yes she is one of the good ones but has been in congress a very long time and represents the old guard. Many in the US feel it’s time for a hard shift left and for the old guard to leave. She has also taken money from Zionist / terrorist sympathizers so it’s time for her and the people she supports to leave government.

            She has invested in a ton of blue chips and tech stocks but her returns are in line with S&P performance over time. Her husband on the other hand…

            Also worth pointing out, she’s super wealthy it’s not uncommon for that class of people to outperform markets with their returns.

            Another important fact, she has been the target of multiple investigations into insider trading in congress, and they’ve never had anything stick. Her husband has been accused of some timely transactions that could have been predicated on insider info, it’s difficult to know for sure. She also supports the Pelosi Act, which would band insider trading for members of Congress. That bill has been dead in the water due to a lack of Republican support.

            Anyway just adding context. The attacks on pelosi are valid but frequently get simplified down too much and Republicans love using that as a talking point.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in Congress.

    Pelosi’s endorsement could push Chan into second place behind Sen. Scott Wiener, who is leading by double digits, ahead of self-funding tech entrepreneur Saikat Chakrabarti.
