Stockard on the Stump: Congressional candidate says he’ll drop Chinese military stocks
Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor previously owned stocks in three Chinese-connected companies, two of which are Pentagon-designated Chinese military firms. He claims President Trump endorsed him for being tough on China but has instructed his broker to sell any holdings linked to Chinese businesses. Taylor also holds Starbucks stock, which has faced scrutiny for liberal leanings following a state grant.
