The senator insisted she had nothing to do with February stock trades--which included the selling of several that were 'hammered' in the stock market due to coronavirus concerns.

"I come from the private sector. I have 20 years experience in financial services," Loeffler responded to Carlson's questions over whether she somehow allegedly broke the rules of the Stock Act.

"So Tucker that would be financial advisers who are charged with conducting trades in our portfolios which we don't have a say over. I think the most important thing is that I am informed only after those trades are made I have nothing in terms of a say in what buys or sells are executed, what that timing is, and I'm only advised after it happens, almost concurrent with the public reporting we do here," Loeffler said.

Carlson pressed,"With respect, this was not three months ago, this was a month ago, when you received this sheet. I mean, you can read a balance sheet obviously, it's what did all of your life until recently, did you think maybe it portends something ominous for the economy - did that thought cross your mind?"

On March 10, Loeffler released a video portraying a glowing view of the economy under Trump:"The good news is the consumer is strong, the economy is strong, jobs are growing, our president has done a fantastic job making sure we're in the best position to manage through this situation."

All these billionaires republicans only go to the propaganda channel Fox News so they can spread more lies to their ignorant viewers. Sad thing is they believe it. Smh.

First off, fucking grilling, it was not!

Yeah, it was just a coincidence 🤦‍♂️

Did we expect her to admit it?

TuckerCarlson:thank 4 confronting SenatorLoeffler. Her robotic answers said quite a bit:contempt oozed through her stone like face. She must resign: same all others who used insider info 2 enrich themselves in the midst of our National crisis. senatemajldr peterschweizer

Lying since she got busted.

LMAO! WELL DUH! YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO ADMIT IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION! 🤣🤣🤣

The Wombat speaks:

You ask me all these political figures do these kind of tactics, as common practice. They just put it under there spouse or someone else’s name. How quickly they all become millionaires if they do a couple of terms.

Wait. I'm confused. So protest at Tuckers house? Or no protest at Tuckers house? Which is it?

I don’t believe anyone gives their financial advisor the authority to do let’s say anything they want with their investment account and not have some say so or input of some kind Her explanation smell fishy especially given who her husband is and financial advisors know that

How does she get appointed Senate seat overseeing futures markets? Well her husband is the head of the New York Stock Exchange and she reminds Trump an awful lot of his daughter

Contact your senator and ask for an investigation of her and the others. Burr, Feinstein and there was at least on more.

Senator Loeffler husband is chairman of The MY Stock Exchange. When she was put on the senate committee that over sees the future market why did she not say that was inappropriate? If the Market was going strong why would you dump stock?

Obviously she denies it but that does not mean she is being truthful.

She is another Congressman Liar. Why won’t senatemajldr do anything about all these Senator nasty people now? Oh wait, she’s a GOP and he needs her vote.

her eyes are trying to run away from each other

She wants us to believe her stock portfolio managers sold off over $3M in stock before telling her anything?

like the Donald, she hires people to commit her crimes
