You can already hear the Virginia GOP laughing their way to a pickup seat,\u201d the former advisor continued, noting that Luria\u2019s&nbsp;military-heavy district is upset with&nbsp;inflation. In fact, on Thursday, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/02\/10\/january-cpi\/\">reported<\/a> that U.S. consumer prices rose by the most in nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the ads weren\u2019t already made, she gave them some killer material. Someone in her office needs to show her some stories about Richard Burr, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, but it\u2019s probably too late,\u201d the&nbsp;former adviser added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Thursday morning,&nbsp;Punchbowl News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/10\/whole-concept-is-bullsht-democrats-axne-luria-fight-congressional-stock-trading-ban\/\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;that Luria said, \u201cI think this whole concept is bullshit,\u201d while noting that restricting Congress from trading stocks \u201cmakes no sense\u201d and that members already have to follow the&nbsp;STOCK Act, which requires members to report stock trades over a certain amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\">Despite her comments, Breitbart News\u2019s&nbsp;Wendell Huseb\u00f8<em>&nbsp;<\/em>wrote that while the congresswoman sits on the&nbsp;Homeland Security and Foreign affairs Committees, her husband has <a href=\"https:\/\/disclosures-clerk.house.gov\/public_disc\/ptr-pdfs\/2021\/20018569.pdf\">traded<\/a>&nbsp;hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Tesla and Alibaba stock.&nbsp;Huseb\u00f8 added that her husband also owns stocks of&nbsp;QuantumScape and Tesla, in addition to&nbsp;trading millions of dollars worth of&nbsp;Facebook, Netflix, and NVIDIA.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, like Luria\u2019s former advisor mentioned, Republicans have already gone on the offense.&nbsp;Congressional Leadership Fund press secretary Cally Perkins slammed&nbsp;Luria\u2019s \u201cbullshit\u201d answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike so many on the left,&nbsp;Elaine Luria has one set of rules for politicians like herself and another for everyone else,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cLuria refuses to ban insider trading for Members of Congress,&nbsp;so that she can continue lining her pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Punchbowl also noted that&nbsp;Jen Kiggans, Luria\u2019s&nbsp;likely Republican general election challenger called her comments&nbsp;\u201cdelusional\u201d and issued a statement supporting banning members of Congress from trading stocks.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
