Right. And if you can't get that right in your very first campaign ad, I think you're not fit for being in Congress. But it's not the first time. Right. This is a guy who basically did what looked like insider trading, trading some Boeing stock before his congressional committee came out with a very damning report on Boeing. and then failing to report that to the voters, you know, as required by congressional regulations. He's somebody who's taken tons of money from the pharma industry and who's voted against enabling the government to negotiate drug prices. (03:50–04:00)

CLAIM

Asserts that Mike Garcia engaged in actions resembling insider trading with Boeing stock.
