As virtually anyone who follows the news has heard by now, Nancy Pelosi has recently returned from a trip to Asia, where she garnered international attention and backlash for visiting Taiwan. The response from China has been exactly as they promised, and now, thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s ill advised, unnecessary antics, they refuse to work with the United States on a wide variety of issues including climate change, and have ramped up their military drills. But lost in the news regarding the trip to Asia and the fallout afterwards, was the undisclosed presence of a certain individual accompanying Nancy Pelosi and the congressional delegation.

Nancy Pelosi brought along her son Paul Pelosi Jr., which naturally begs the question…why?

As much as people might despise social media and its effects on the national discourse regarding issues like politics and justifiably so, there are moments where we’re reminded of its worth. Given the shady practices we can see lawmakers engaging in with insider trading as we watch them consistently outperform the stock market, it should come as no surprise that someone came up with the idea to make a Twitter page dedicated to tracking Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading.
