Conservative comedian Alex Strenger was escorted away after he asked Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi which stock to buy as she signed copies of her new book, "The Art of Power," at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on September 8. Strenger posed as a Democrat, wearing a face mask and a Bernie Sanders baseball cap, before approaching and heckling Pelosi over her stock trading activities.
Strenger reportedly identified himself as "Noah" before telling Pelosi how much he appreciated her "fierce, staunch defending of democracy" while expressing his fear of Donald Trump winning elections. He continued that Trump should be imprisoned to save democracy and that "we just have to win the election," to which Pelosi concurred by saying that "we do." However, Strenger suddenly started asking for stock-buying tips from the former House Speaker while describing her as the "greatest options trader" ever.
