A small business owner said he was assaulted by Nancy Pelosi’s security detail after attempting to ask for financial advice – albeit tongue-in-cheek.
Alex Strenger met the former House Speaker at a book signing in Fort Worth, TX, over the weekend.
Sporting a “White Dudes for Harris” t-shirt and a face mask, Strenger initially raised concerns about the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency and said the former president should “spend the rest of his life” in prison.
“We just have to win the election,” Pelosi responded.
Strenger then tried to ask for financial advice from “the greatest options trader of all time” when he was taken away by Pelosi’s security team.
“I want to know what stocks to buy; I want to close the wealth gap,” he added as he was marched out of the building to a chorus of boos.
Pelosi’s financial dealings are well documented. Her portfolio returned over 700% in the decade up to 2024, and investments made by herself and her husband almost tripled the S&P 500’s returns in 2023 alone. In fact, her reputation as a prolific trader has even paved the way for a Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker on X (@PelosiTracker_).
In the year 2020, Pelosi was the biggest purchaser of securities in Congress.
We reported here at Wokespy just last June on one single suspect Pelosi trade that netted her $5 million.
Some on social media were desperate to know more about the former speaker’s financial understanding.
Other commentors noted the manhandling by security personnel in response to Strenger’s questions.
Was she hammered during the event? Like, drunk?
