Should an eight-term member of the House of Representatives–who is on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Defense Intelligence and Warfighter Support Subcommittee–be buying into Chinese Communist Party (CCP) companies?
If you answered YES, you are probably Vermont Rep. Peter Welch.
Welch is just the latest United States politician to get caught with his hands in the cookie commie jar. Welch’s financial data shows that on March 15, 2019, he bought roughly $15,000 worth of shares in two Chinese funds, KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A ETF and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF. ETF stands for “exchange-traded funds.”
One of the funds, KraneShares CSI ETF, holds a stake in a technology platform company that censors users on behalf of the CCP. The company, Tencent, which has been flagged by the U.S. State Department as a “tool of the Chinese government,” accounts for the fund’s largest investment.
Tencent has “no meaningful ability to tell the Chinese Communist Party ‘no’ if officials decide to ask for their assistance” and provides “a foundation of technology-facilitated surveillance and social control” as part of the Chinese government’s broader crusade “to shape the world consistent with its authoritarian model,” the State Department stated.
How is it that Peter Welch can represent his state of Vermont vs. China when he holds a financial stake in two Chinese funds? Maybe the people of Vermont should ask themselves that.

Here is the kicker on Welch: He was an over-the-top “Trump-Russia collusion” bootlicker.
Wasn’t there a time in history, when this sort of thing was called treason?
(music sting)
He’s for sale in the USA
For sale in the USA
Give him money and he’ll do as you say
Another Dem for sale in the USA, yeah
That was in the old U.S.A. This is the new Chinese Republic of United Communist States of America
These traitors feel emboldened because nothing happens to them.
Doesn’t seem very sure of himself for a crook.
15K that’s it?
Then we watch their agents on TV calling for our lives to be made harder.
