North Carolina Republican Senator Richard Burr dumped his stocks because of the insider information he was presented with. If an ordinary citizen had done this it would have been called "insider trading" and the person would face fines, penalties, and/or jail time. Georgia Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler did the same. These Senators should have to resign and face penalties or the same judgment that ordinary citizens, that they represent, would have had to face if they did the same.
Yes, it's understandable that someone would want to protect their savings and investments but when you hold a position or job that provides you with insider information then you should not be allowed to profit from that position and information. Sadly many, if not most, politicians do get very wealthy from doing just that whether they are Democrat or Republican. They are in positions of power and influence that allow them to receive donations from very wealthy people that in turn they can assist and help. That is one reason you see people spending tons of money to run for a job that actually doesn't pay that much for where you have to live to work the job.
These people are disgusting and should face some penalty for what they do or did just the same as the people who are guilty of hoarding for profit during times of disaster, as we are in now, like those two brothers in Chattanooga who purchased all the hand sanitizer and wipes that they could find and then sold them for upward to 20 or more times what they paid.
