Okay, it’s not everyday that I can tell you about two Texas Republican (cringing already, eh?) Congressman making money out the backdoor. And, lucky for really, really rich people, they are from districts close enough to rub elbows.

First up: Dan Crenshaw (think eye patch guy from the Houston metro area) spouts off on Twitter and then dashes to his checkbook to make money doing the exact same thing he just smashed on Twitter.

For example, here ya go. On November 29, 2021 Crenshaw attacked Secretary Pete Buttigieg as being out of touch for promoting electric vehicles. But, I’ll be damned if he didn’t make five separate transactions in Tesla stock earlier that month.

Then to finish out the year on a tidal wave of double talk, on December 13, 2021 Crenshaw sent out a tweet attacking Democrats for providing tax incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles. The very next day, he bought stock in Rivian.

Crenshaw is on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over legislation affecting electric vehicles, while he trades their stock. That just don’t seem right.

And in the #2 spot, we have My own congresscreep, Troy Nehls, who is the only man I know who can strut sitting down.  Buy, hey, you gotta give him credit for asking around with a haircut that makes him look like Baby Huey.

So he’s got the attention of the FEC. Bless his heart, he thinks secret people can funnel money into his campaign if he just lists the conduit instead of the donors. That would be like if Act Blue collects money for me and then I only list Act Blue as the donor and refuse to let you see that my donors are actually the entire front line of the Green Bay Packers, which automatically disqualifies me to hold any office of public trust in Texas.

I was kinda hoping Louie Gohmert would do something outrageous today so I could have a threesome, but the day is young and Louie has several more hours of daylight to chop cotton and the English language.
