Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wants the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to prohibit organizations from “saying whatever they want about Washington policy debates,” according to a letter she sent to the agency on Thursday.

Warren sent a letter to SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White calling for an investigation into alleged discrepancies between statements insurance executives made to their investors and complaints these same individuals made about the impact new government regulations would have on their businesses, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The new regulations stem from a Department of Labor rule change that will make it tougher for investment firms that handle retirement funds to operate.

As ever, the Democratic party partners with the entrenched bureaucracy to weaponize the government against the governed.

    If you can’t win the debate in the forum of ideas, then shut the debate down. It’s all about control.
    BTW, it was a pleasure meeting and sinking you and LT_Rusty in WoWs. 🙂

    It may yet turn out that the DNC will try to get this twit as the Democrat nominee, should HRC have the pleasure of wearing Prison Orange.

    Wonderful. Changing your opinion is now considered lying if you work for a corporation. If you’re politician, it’s considered “evolving”.
    She completely misses the purpose of SEC regulations – to prevent lying about an investment in order to sell it. She is expanding it to prevent any statement that displeases the State.

    She sees the Justice Department threatening to prosecute Climate change disbelievers, and since there hasn’t been a massive public outcry against that, decided to get a few licks in.
