Perdue Made a Fortune on Well-Timed Stock Trades

November 25, 2020 at 12:13 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) sold off millions of dollars in shares of tech company Cardlytics, whose board of directors he once sat upon, in January — just as lawmakers learned of the potential economic devastation that the coronavirus pandemic could bring, the AP reports.

In March, while the stock market hit a three-year low, Perdue bought his stock back. His shares have since quadrupled in value.

Perdue Slams Romney for Criticizing Trump

January 5, 2019 at 10:31 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) accused Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) in the Washington Post of “character assassination of the president” and that he “put self-interest ahead of the larger national interest: conservative Republican governance.”

“The op-ed brought to mind 2012, when many Republicans chose to divide the party by continually bashing each other. Romney eventually discovered that many discouraged GOP voters decided to stay home on Election Day.”

“Like others who have run for president and failed, Romney has taken a stance that smacks of jealousy and resentment. It does nothing but serve the radical liberal left and further divides conservatives.”

Quote of the Day

“I would have much preferred to start off with tax. But that wasn’t my decision. Tax is the heavy lift here. It’s not going to be easier than health care. And we’ve been doing this for seven months.”

— Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), quoted by Politico.

GOP Senator Prays Obama’s Days Will Be Few

June 11, 2016 at 4:37 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 123 Comments

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) joked at a conservative Christian event that he prays President Obama’s days will be “few,” the Huffington Post reports.

Said Perdue: “We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says. It says: ‘Let his days be few and let another have his office.'”

Perdue did not continue, but Psalm 109 is a death wish for one of David’s enemies.

It continues: “Let his children be fatherless; and his wife a widow. Let his children wander about and beg; and let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes. Let the creditor seize all that he has; and let strangers plunder the product of his labor. Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him; nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; in a following generation let their name be blotted out.“
