Nancy Pelosi Accuses Republicans in Congress of ‘Waging a Dark Crusade of Punishment and Control’

As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is under fire after her husband Paul Pelosi sold off up to $5 million worth of chipmaker stock ahead of a semiconductor bill vote, she went on the offensive today against Republicans.

“Today,@DemWomenCaucus and @ProChoiceCaucus gathered to shine a light on Republicans’ twisted vision for America #WithoutRoe — a dark agenda of punishment, control and complicity in horrific abuse.”

“We are standing strong — saying loud and clear: We are not going back.”

From Breaking911:

PELOSI: “Republicans in Congress are waging a dark crusade of punishment and control. They don’t believe in birth control, but they do want to control the lives of women.”

“But they do want to control the lives of women in our country.”

“Here in Congress, House Republicans are calling for a national abortion ban, voting almost unanimously against a women’s right to choose and the enshrinement of Roe vs. Wade into law.”

The Hill reported yesterday that Pelosi completed a period transaction report, which was signed on Tuesday, and indicated that Paul sold 25,000 shares of Nvidia at an average price of $165.05 with a total loss of $341,365.

In total, the shares are worth between $1 million and $5 million and a separate filing signed by Nancy earlier this month indicated that Paul had exercised call options last month to purchase 20,000 shares of the chipmaker at a strike price of $100.
