House Democrats are expressing outrage over a Republican-backed advertising campaign that praises GOP lawmakers for voting to ban congressional stock trading. Democrats claim this is a "set-up" designed to exploit their own votes on the Stop Insider Trading Act, which they argue was flawed and did not go far enough. The ads, funded by Choose Freedom Inc., highlight specific Republican representatives for their stance, while Democrats feel unfairly targeted given their criticisms of the bill's limitations and an unrelated provision requiring photo ID to vote.
