Tucker Carlson Slams Richard Burr Over Stock Dump

By Thomas A. Smith

Maybe there is an honest explanation for what he did, Carlson said. 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.

The stock selloff which, according to ProPublica, took place over 33 separate transactions preceded the recent Dow Jones 30 percent drop by roughly one week. Incredibly, a Burr spokesman s response to the story, in a statement (via CNN), was Senator Burr filed a financial disclosure form for personal transactions made several weeks before the U.S. and financial markets showed signs of volatility due to the growing coronavirus outbreak.

Carlson was completely incensed by the news.

There is no greater moral crime than betraying your country in a time of crisis, he said.
