Mace sounds off on stock trading in Congress, Pelosi remains silent: 'Something doesn't add up'

"I support it 100%. I don't trade stocks," said Mace. "I think I have learned since I've been up here that we can be market makers, and when we do bills, or we vote on things, or we do legislation, we shouldn't be voting on things that we could benefit from financially."

When asked by Fox News Digital whether she would support banning lawmakers from trading stocks, Pelosi ignored the question and continued walking. 

Alford's proposed bill would ban lawmakers and their spouses from holding, purchasing or selling individual stocks while in office, but it allows investments in diversified mutual funds, exchange-traded funds or U.S. Treasury bonds. If passed, current lawmakers would have 180 days to comply with the legislation. Likewise, newly elected lawmakers must achieve compliance within 180 days of entering office.

"I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send that to me, I would do it," he said of a trading ban.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., meanwhile, told Fox News Digital that he has an alternate solution that would allow legislators to trade stocks but would mandate that members of Congress wishing to do so to "put their money in escrow and announce the stock trade 24 hours before they make it."

"Then they have to legally go through with the trade. So instead of not using the insider information, let's give it to everybody and let them front run the elected officials here," he said, smiling.
