Who?
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) — House Majority Whip
LISTEN: Laslo & Emmer
Ask a Pol asks:
Do you worry about the politics we’re seeing being inserted into the crypto debate over in the Senate?
Key Emmer:
“I'm disappointed about that,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer exclusively tells Ask a Pol.
“They're going to be reminded by the community that this is not about Republicans and Democrats. This is just about Americans who want the freedom that this country’s supposed to provide so they can make their decisions on that themselves.”
Trump crypto corruption?
Do you have any concerns with the president's family's new digital coins?
“I’ve gotta tell you, you guys are focusing on that — you got Joe Biden's kid made millions off of, like, little kiddie drawings, which was totally illegal,” Emmer says.
“Until somebody shows me what is, like, violating the law, no, I'm not concerned. They're very successful. They always have been.”*
*Trump has declared bankruptcy six times.
