Fox News's Tucker Carlson had some serious words for Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who sold off a significant percentage of his stocks on February 13 - raising between $628,000 and $1.72 million in 33 separate transactions.
Carlson noted Burr sold "more than a million dollars in stock in mid-February after learning how devastating the Chinese coronavirus could be.
"He had inside information about what could happen to our country - which is now happening - but he didn't warn the public. He didn't give a prime time address. He didn't go on television to sound the alarm. He didn't even disavow an op-ed he'd written just ten days before claiming America was 'better prepared than ever for coronavirus."
Instead what did he do? He dumped his shares in hotel so he wouldn't lose money. And then he stayed silent.
Now maybe there's an honest explanation for what he did. If there is, he should share it with the rest of us immediately. Otherwise, he must resign from the Senate and face prosecution for insider trading. There is no greater moral crime than betraying your country in a crisis, and that appears to be what happened." -Tucker Carlson

Perhaps Burr was simply reading Zero Hedge's coronavirus coverage?
Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
