Coronavirus corruption

Robert Reich ... writing about Coronavirus corruption at high levels among the political elite

Burgess COMMENTARY

Coronavirus corruption Inbox x Robert Reich Unsubscribe 11:14 AM (0 minutes ago) to me Dear Peter, Think about this: Weeks before you had any inkling you were going to lose your job, Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) was selling off millions of dollars of stocks — and *buying* stock in a teleworking company. Weeks before you were scrambling to figure out how to homeschool your children for who knows how long, Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) was selling off his stocks in hotel chains and telling wealthy constituents behind closed doors to prepare for the worst. Weeks before you were frantically trying to get your college student home before quarantines went into effect, these senators knew exactly what was coming — and they took care of their own personal wealth instead of warning the rest of us. Weeks before your 401K was completely wiped out, these senators actively shielded the true severity of the crisis from the public while going out of their way to protect their own fortunes. I’m absolutely furious. Even in an era of nonexistent ethics and unfettered corruption, this is a disgusting new low. Senators Loeffler and Burr -- and any other senator if found to have benefited from insider information about the pandemic, including Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) -- must resign immediately. Please add your name to my joint petition with Democracy for America calling on these senators to resign right now >> This despicable behavior cannot go unaddressed. Together, we must demand that these senators face the consequences for putting their own financial interest before the health, safety and welfare of the American people. ADD YOUR NAME Thank you for taking action, and remember to stay safe and check in on your loved ones. We’re all in this together, Robert Reich Former Secretary of Labor Co-founder, Inequality Media
