Jill Stein’s Ideology Says One Thing—Her Investment Portfolio Says Another
Daily Beast ^ | 10/16/16 | Yashar Ali

Posted on 11/30/2016 5:52:21 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

The holier-than-thou Green Party candidate rails against Big Carbon, big banks, Big Pharma—while she holds substantial investments in them.

....According to the financial-disclosure form she filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on March 30, 2016, Stein and her husband, Richard Rohrer, have investments (with the exception of real estate) valued at anywhere from $3,832,050 to $8,505,000.

....Big Carbon. On Oct. 26, 2015, Stein’s campaign sent out a statement calling for Exxon to get the death penalty for its “climate-change fraud.”

...Yet Stein has invested $995,011 to $2.2 million in funds such as the Vanguard 500 fund that maintain significant stakes in Exxon...

Financial Industry....Stein has consistently denounced the banking industry and Wall Street....

...Yet Stein has invested roughly $1.2 to $2.65 million in funds like the TIAA-CREF Equity Index that have big stakes in the financial-services industry....

Big Pharma. Stein has been a stalwart opponent of what she sees as the corrupt influence of the pharmaceutical industry....

[Yet] she listed between $50,001 and $100,000 in the pharmaceutical giant Merck, which paid a record fine for overbilling Medicaid.

...Big Tobacco...Stein has between $500,004 to $1,100,000 invested in funds that maintain significant stakes in Phillip Morris International...

Stein is just your garden variety commie. The rules apply to the masses, not the party bosses.

True!

I’m surprised this is coming from the daily beast (chelsea clinton), but maybe they’re scared of dem fraud being revealed.

Maybe they are afraid she'll run as a Democrat, or a spoiler, in 2020.

hmmm....very interesting in that this is coming from the Daily Beast.

Seems to indicate that the powers that be within the Democrat Party are not happy about this recount business.

Nailed it. She has been gathering information with her “recount” effort. She now has contact info for hundreds of thousands of the most desparate and dedicated “progressives” in the Country. She has also acquired “heroine” status among them.

She has become a playa!

I’ve been waiting for this. How can we not have figured out this was coming in this form? Money? She is playing with the moneied and no one plays in that cess pool unless they are one.

I hope the Greens eschew her. I hope the PA courts criminalize her for perpetuating disinformation about the PA voting system and mostly I hope no GOP freud is found.

I hope she goes to jail for fraud. I bet Soros is paying for her lawyers, too.

Hmmm. Do I have 3 houses? No. Does uncle bernie have 3 houses? Yes. What’s up with that? I had an actual job for a couple of years and I don’t believe bernie ever had an actual job did he? “It’s good to be the king.”

All liberal leaders are fake.

It’s just a scam. That’s why they like Castro.

He was nothing more than a typical tin-pot strong-arm tyrant. A petty Hitler or Stalin. Idi Amin with a beard.

But he pretended to be “for the people” like them.

Ergo, he’s a hero.

Stein would be the same, but never had the opportunity.
