Pelosi Stunned as Comedian Trolls her at Book Signing: 'What Stocks Should I Buy?'

On Sep 10, 2024

Nancy Pelosi was left red-faced after a comedian heckled the former House Speaker over her insider stock trading at a recent book signing at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas.

Alex Strenger, who posed as a Democrat, trolled Pelosi over her stock trading, calling her “the greatest options trader of all time” and asking for tips on which shares he should buy next.

Strenger approached Pelosi while signing copies of her new book “The Art of Power.”

The clip quickly went viral after being posted to X on Sunday.

The comedian, who was disguised in a COVID mask and a Bernie Sanders baseball cap, approached Pelosi and identified himself as “Noah.”

“I’m a UTA candidate. I was listening. I wasn’t able to get a book, sold out, but I want to say how much I appreciate your, like, fierce, staunch defending of democracy,” Strenger told Pelosi, adding that it “really means so, so much, you know?”

Strenger then told the former House Speaker he was “really scared about…Donald Trump winning the election.”

“And honestly, with all the disinformation on X, like, you know, I honestly, the only chance, like, that we have is for Donald Trump to spend the rest of his life in prison,” Strenger said.

He went on to add that throwing Donald Trump in jail was “the only hope for democracy.”

“We just have to win the election,” he told Pelosi.

Pelosi agreed, replying: “We do.”

Strenger then dropped the bombshell, asking Pelosi: “What stocks should I buy?”

“Nancy, you’re the greatest options trader of all time,” the comedian added.

“I just want to know what stocks I should buy. What I just want to know, like, what’s your biggest concern?”

Pelosi’s security guards suddenly escorted Strenger away from the former House speaker.

“The police are an instrumental institution of white supremacy and racism. I don’t understand why they are even here at all. They should be defunded,” the comedian said.

Strenger then said that Pelosi “makes six figures a year in Congress and has a hundred million dollar net worth.”

“Don’t y’all want to know what stocks she should buy? Come on. I just want to know,” he said as security dragged him away.

“I just want to know what stocks to buy. I want to close the wealth gap. What’s the problem? I just want to close the wealth gap.”

“I just want to know what stocks I should buy. What I just want to know, like, what’s your biggest concern?” Strenger said as he was being led away.

Pelosi, who married Paul Pelosi, the founder of a real estate and venture capitalist firm, raised eyebrows with their stock trading activity, given that she was one of the most powerful legislators in the country and had access to information that may influence the market decisions.
