In related news, Reuters published an article titled “Gary Gensler has set the SEC on a perilous path” three months ago. The lead in the news read:
Gary Gensler is the kind of regulator who gets things done. That’s not always the kind that serves America best. The chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission has flexed the rulemaking process in a way that has been helpful to a Democrat-led administration struggling to pass laws.
However, in the Twitter comments section under Emmer’s question, one user shared a tweet captioned “Tom Emmer’s track record.” The user shared a list of names of those who voted against the “Short Sale Transparency and Market Fairness Act” and Emmer’s name was there on the list.
