Ummm. Ro Khanna, you own $7 million in fossil fuel stocks. Explain Please.

Ro Khanna
@RoKhanna
The fossil fuel industry continues to manipulate public opinion and exert undue influence in shaping policy in Congress. I will not rest until we bring the fossil fuel executives in to testify in front of Congress.


🤔 wait a minute...

I guess maybe he doesn't own Exxon stocks.
But somthing's just not squaring here.



I'd like to hear Khanna explain how one can hold $7million in fossil fuel stocks on one hand, & yet be advocating against fossil fuels & pro climate change on the other.

I mean it. I'd REALLY like to hear his explanation.
Because I'm sure he has one to offer up if the question is presented.

How does one do this?

Before Ro Khanna goes outing any Democrat's names, maybe he could give an explanation as to his own million $ fossil fuel stocks.

Just saying. What's up with this.

And Yes, we all have an absolute right to question our reps. All of them.

Thank you.

Mercury Public Affairs, is partnered with Turner's own AMARE PR

WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS:


Nina is a Corporate backed media voice with 4 Super PACS, and her own PR Company backed by an International Lobbying group, & her own political party running oppo against the Democratic Party, and she permanently lives in Maryland.

She turned down a DC lobbying position with an International CORPORATE LOBBYING GROUP when Biden appointed Marcia Fudge, which then opened up OH-11.


She owns her own PR Co, Amare Public Affairs with partners of the powerful International Lobby Group, Mercury Public Affairs.

FROM OPEN SECRETS:
Who is Mercury Public Affairs?
Who are their clients?

https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/firms/summary?cycle=2019&id=D000022461

Would ya look at ALL THOSE CORPORATE CLIENTS!!

WHO IS MERCURY PUBLIC AFFAIRS that Turner is so closely tied to in financing & messaging?

Imagine all the good she'll do for (ahem) the people 😉 of OH-11, if only she could grab Marcia Fudge's empty seat.

Look closer.

Sunrise Movement just stole Pete Buttigieg & Pres Biden's Climate Corps.

Biden commended & approved Buttigieg's Nat'l Service Policy Plan for a Civilian Climate Corps.
In January, Sunrise tried to take credit for it. And then a few days ago they staged a protest against Biden, demanding that he do the thing he already said he was doing, and their protest got a bunch of their Sunrise members arrested








Climate Corps was right there in Buttigieg’s National Service plan.
Perhaps Momentum Movement could acknowledge this rather than sending their Sunrise youth Movement out to the streets & waiting media, & claming credit for something that was long written into a thorough policy plan be Pete Buttigieg, back in 2019.

Buttigieg introduces national service plan
The Navy veteran has emphasized national service as a way of bringing Americans together.

Mary Trump.

"The unraveling of the Trump Family’s many-decade history of fraudulent business practices began with Mary Trump secreting box after box of documents to reporters at the Times.

Cheers, @MaryLTrump. Today was a good day. Lifting a glass to you.
