Republicans are demanding Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden step down from his position as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee over his wife's major stock holdings.

"We are alarmed by reports of your wife's exceptionally large stock holdings, totaling $3 million, in four of the Big Five technology companies that you are tasked with overseeing – Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google," a group of national Republicans, led by New York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax, wrote to Wyden in a letter obtained by Just the News on Thursday

Wyden's latest financial disclosure covers 2022, and it shows that his wife, Nancy Wyden, owns at least $1.5 million in the four major companies, but may have as much as $3 million in investments. She also made between $15,001 and $50,000 in dividends from Apple that year

In addition to Wax, the letter’s signatories also include College Republicans of America President William Donahue, Republicans for National Renewal Executive Director Mark Ivanyo, National Constitutional Law Union Chairman John Pierce, Students for Trump Chairman Ryan Fournier and Italian American Civil Rights League President Paul Ingrassia.


Interesting group.

Democrats are allowed to steal ten percent of all proceeds.

Unless they can prove more than 10% fuggedaboutit.

Holding the big 5 tech companies is not exactly insider trading. Lots of people and companies do that.

I hope she doesn’t have a bunch of bitcoin. That would be a capital offense.

Democrats never step down with impropriety. It’s something Republicans need to learn to do, even when the impropriety is proven with facts.

For all intents & purposes Ron Wyden doesn’t live in OR. He should resign from the senate just because of that.
