A North Carolina Democrat in Congress, along with her husband, bought up to $30,000 of stock in a computer chips company – then she voted to pass the CHIPS Act, which provides help to semiconductor manufacturing facilities through tens of billions of dollars in subsidies, according to a new report.
Fox Business confirmed that Rep. Kathy Manning, D-N.C., “scooped up thousands of dollars in semiconductor company stock just one day before voting to pass a bill providing massive subsidies to the sector.”
One of the companies she bought, the report explained, already is planning “large-scale” expansions because of the legislation she supported.
Fox Business explained Manning and her husband bought up to $30,000 in Micron Technology stocks. They also bought up to $95,000 in Nvidia stocks.
“The next day, Manning voted to pass the CHIPS Act,” the report said.
“I’m proud of my vote to pass this historic investment in American CHIP manufacturing, lower costs, and creating good-paying jobs,” Manning said on social media.
Fox Business reported her office said the investments are in accounts that are controlled by “third party managers.”
Micron said the day Joe Biden signed the government handout plan that it would spend $40 billion through the end of the decade on building chip making plants.
It was a stock purchase in Nvidia that earlier erupted into controversy for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose husband, Paul, bought up to $5 million in the company’s stock just a few weeks before the CHIPs vote.
He later dumped the stock right before the vote due to the backlash.
The report noted Manning’s stock trading history has been subject to criticism in the past. That included a report this year that she failed to disclose dozens of stock transactions within the 45-day time frame required by the STOCK Act.
The Daily Caller News Foundation had reported that a former Federal Reserve Bank president criticized Pelosi’s stock maneuvers.
“Clearly people have taken advantage of inside information forever,” said Richard Fischer, who chaired the Federal Reserve of Dallas between 2005 and 2015, on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I’m sorry to see that Paul Pelosi and Nancy Pelosi and others appear to have taken advantage of inside information. Something needs to be done.”
The comments addressed Paul Pelosi’s purchase of Nvidia, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies.
A spokesman for Nancy Pelosi claimed Paul Pelosi doesn’t discuss his stock trades with the House speaker. The spokesman said Paul Pelosi decided to sell the Nvidia stock at a loss “rather than allow the misinformation in the press … to continue.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: During the Biden era of rapidly metastasizing madness, the greatest madness of all may be today’s shockingly widespread campaign to indoctrinate, seduce, groom and flat-out RECRUIT America’s children into the dark world of transgenderism. Countless LGBT activists, including many public-school teachers, have taken to proselytizing the new transgender salvation to America’s children, both on social media and within the schools themselves. Even Biden’s far-left Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra fully supports taxpayer-funded amputations of healthy body parts of these vulnerable children, declaring ghoulishly, “We should help those have the life-affirming care that they need.” The result? Untold numbers of America’s kids are being led into lives of not just unending conflict, confusion, suffering, deformity and disability, but far too often – as multiple studies prove – suicide. The whole unbelievable story – including the underlying reasons, almost entirely unreported elsewhere, for what amounts to the most massive child sexual abuse campaign in American history – is explored as never before in the July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled “WHAT’S REALLY BEHIND THE TRANSGENDER CRAZE?”
