New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has never shied away from sharing a controversial take on American politics.
The Super Bowl Champion quarterback recently endorsed anti-vaccine presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 presidential race. And now, he’s aiming at California Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein.
The Twitter account “Unusual Whales,” which tracks the Wall Street trades of the country’s political elites, recently highlighted some “unusual trades” from the 89-year-old Senator worth over $200 million.
Diane Feinstein returns to Senate.
Feinstein, 89 years old, has some of the most unusual trades in Congress, over her thirty year career.
In that time, her net worth sky rocketed to over $200 million.

The current salary for a United States Senator is $174,000 a year.
Green Bay Packers lineman David Bakhtiari, a former teammate of Rodgers, commented on the thread: “How are we as a nation just ‘cool’ with actions like this? It’s cheating in broad daylight.”
That’s when the multi-time NFL MVP chimed in with a GIF of Ryan Reynolds “Seeing the light.”

Former United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) defended Congress’ trading of stocks in 2021.
“We are a free market economy. They should be able to participate in that,” she infamously said.
Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), two odd political bedfellows, are advancing their bipartisan proposal to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.
Whether that advances through Congress to be signed by President Joe Biden remains to be seen. But what is known is that Aaron Rodgers aimed right at Dianne Feinstein.
