Conservative commentator Dana Roche said on Fox News Tuesday that Congressional public services were not intended to be a favorable or desirable career, adding that she would work better when America is doing so.
When he appeared in “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Loesch said the US government structure was not intended to reward lawmakers for life. Roche also pushed back rage over stock trading against politicians, noting that the 2012 Stock Act does not prohibit Congressional members from doing so. It simply requires disclosure.
“What people need to recognize is that it’s burned into the structure of government. Look, serving in your government should be a scary job. It should be a burden on people. In fact, that’s how it was originally established,” Roche told Watters.
Loesch said service in Congress should be a civic duty, not a career path.

“Other Americans thought these people were right to lead. Now people want to come out of college without life experience and shoot right away into the halls of DC.
Roche also pushed back bipartisan attempts to ban Congress’ stock trading and called them unsafe.
“The Stock Act of 2012 doesn’t criminalize stocks to them. They need to be honest about it. They need to report it. You know. But Jesse was so mad at Trump.
Roche defended Trump against insider trading accusations.
