In a new video, DC insider Michael Whatley refused to answer questions about last week’s reporting from POLITICO that revealed he praised policies that benefitted his bottom line. Whatley cheered on the Trump administration’s actions in Venezuela, and after Trump’s pledge to increase oil production, Whatley’s stocks in major oil companies spiked by up to $63,000 in a single weekend.
“Michael Whatley can’t hide from the fact that he got caught pushing for policies that enrich himself – and he knows that if he goes back to DC, he can benefit his bottom line even more,” said Mallory Payne, senior communications advisor for the North Carolina Democratic Party. “Whatley is only looking out for himself, not North Carolina working families who are trying to make ends meet.”
