Reply to comment by ho1doncaulfield in Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks by turbulance4

This is the legislative equivalent of him wearing blue jeans and a flannel shirt in a campaign ad. He's as much a populist as I am a secret millionaire.

I didn’t call him a populist I just said he has some good ideas

Hey by the way it's funny you mentioned Hawley as a populist. I actually trolled Matthew Stoller into blocking me on Twitter, precisely because he tried to portray Hawley as some populist savior. I see through it too.

Matt Stoller is a good read but has some weird political heroes.

Yeah Stoller has a really cool substack on monopoly power that I read a lot. I’m subscribed to it, it’s called BIG. But his opinions on a lot of other things are bad imo, which includes Hawley lol

I guess it makes a little sense given Stoller's field and Hawley's signalling about tech monopolies and the like, but Hawley's so transparently self-serving that I'm surprised anyone would be taken in by his act.
