Josh Mandel is an actor that will do anything to get a few extra votes, something that has become quite evident in the last week.
Notably, Josh said last Friday that we can’t send people to the Senate that invest in companies that ship American jobs to China, yet Mandel reported owning these Chinese/Chinese-related stocks in Financial Disclosure forms from 2005 through 2010.
Mandel’s own investments include Time Warner, which has made multi-million dollar deals with China Media Capital, and General Electric, which has 20,000 employees in China, more than thirty manufacturing bases, and more than thirty joint ventures in more than thirty Chinese cities. He even invested in Pfizer, which has nearly 15% of its shipments coming from China and goes against his past statements on Covid-19 vaccines.
Mandel also stated in Friday’s FreedomWorks forum that we can’t have people who invest in Chinese companies take on the Chinese Communist Party. Yet, he boasts about his handling of the Ohio STAR (State Treasury Asset Reserve) Investment Fund as Ohio State Treasurer, which held investments with Chinese ties per a 2018 Report.
These investments include $415 million in JPMorgan Securities, which has paid a $264 million settlement in a Chinese bribery case, $274.3 million in Credit Suisse, which was fined $77 million for an SEC/DOJ Chinese corruption inquiry, and $72.2 million in Walt Disney, which filmed it’s Mulan remake in the same providence holding the Uygur forced labor camps.
Josh Mandel invested Ohio taxpayer dollars in China.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Josh is a hypocrite, plain and simple, and by his own standards, is unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate.
