“Nancy, you’re the greatest options trader of all time,” Strenger said, maintaining a satirical tone. “I just want to know what stocks I should buy.” The crowd – and security – didn’t seem to find the humor in his request. Security guards eventually stepped in and escorted Strenger away, but not before he added a jab about Pelosi’s wealth compared to her congressional salary.

Pelosi, whose husband Paul has made headlines for his well-timed stock trades, mostly kept her composure. She briefly responded to Strenger’s remarks before security moved him aside.
