WATCH: Pelosi Heckled at Book Signing by Conservative Prankster Asking for Stock Market Tips
It was supposed to be a calm book signing event for Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, but it quickly turned chaotic when a conservative provocateur crashed the scene and started grilling her with questions about stock trading.
Alex Strenger, known for his bold antics, snuck into the event wearing a face mask and a “White Dudes for Kamala” t-shirt, playing the part of a Pelosi supporter. He kicked off his act by expressing his deep concern over former President Donald Trump possibly making a political comeback.
“I honestly think the only change, like, we have is for him to spend the rest of his life in prison,” Strenger told Pelosi, trying to win her over.
Pelosi didn’t hesitate with her response: “We just have to win the election first.”
But things quickly escalated when Strenger shifted gears. As security began moving in, the prankster dropped the friendly facade and started peppering the former Speaker of the House with questions about her stock trading.
“What stocks should I buy, Nancy? You’re the greatest options trader of all time. I just want to know what stocks I should buy,” Strenger shouted, as security guards started shoving him out of the store.
The audience was stunned as the provocateur loudly pressed on. “I just wanna know! Income inequality is your biggest concern, right?”
As the scene unfolded, Strenger mocked Pelosi for her wealth, saying, “She makes six figures a year and has a $100 million net worth.” He turned to the crowd, made up largely of her supporters, and asked, “Don’t y’all want to know what stocks you should buy?”
Unsurprisingly, the crowd wasn’t having it. Cries of “No” and “Go away” filled the room as Strenger was dragged toward the exit.

Before making his exit, Strenger took a jab at Pelosi’s security detail. In an ironic twist, he questioned why a progressive Democrat had police officers surrounding her when “the police are an institution of white supremacy and racism,” mocking the common rhetoric from the far-left.
Pelosi’s track record on stock trading has made her a frequent target. The congresswoman, whose net worth is estimated to be around $106 million, has faced heavy scrutiny over her stock trades, with many accusing her of profiting from insider information.
In fact, there’s even a social media account, “Nancy Pelosi Stock Trader,” dedicated to tracking her investments so others can try to replicate her financial success.
Though some Democratic lawmakers have been calling for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, Pelosi has pushed back, famously defending it by saying, “We’re a free market economy.
They should be able to participate in that.”
The event may have been intended to focus on Pelosi’s legacy, but thanks to this daring interruption, her stock trading prowess was once again front and center.
