Price gave false testimony to the Senate

During his confirmation hearings, Tom Price claimed that the offer he used to purchase shares in a biomedical company (which has tripled in value) was not a "sweetheart" deal. That testimony was false, according to the company. He got a 12% discount from the price offered to the general public. Price acquired his shares on terms available to fewer than 20 other American investors. He championed legislation that would, if passed, have substantially benefited his stock.

I'm guessing that when Donnie's voters expected him to "drain the swamp," this isn't exactly what they had in mind. --Bob

Tom Price is my Congressman (reluctantly). The only consolation I get out of this is the chance to send perhaps the first message to Trump about what voters now think about him when we get to choose Price's successor. The Democrats have already got a fairly strong candidate lined up, and Trump only carried Price's district by one percentage point. Special election turnout is often quite low, so anything is possible.
