Ro Khanna
Must Go
The progressive champion who built a $27 million fortune trading nuclear weapons components, fossil fuels, and defense contractors — while publicly crusading against the exact same industries.
This is not leadership. This is elite impunity.

The Core Contradiction
While Khanna Attacks Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex…
His household quietly became one of the most active stock traders in Congress.
$55.7 MILLION
in trades in 2025 alone — 3rd most active household in the entire United States Congress.
As co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Khanna rails against corporate greed and Wall Street landlords. He co-sponsored the Stop Wall Street Landlords Act while his family executed a trading volume that would embarrass a hedge fund. He lectures America about corruption. His household runs a high-frequency trading operation from the same address where he sleeps.
The Divestment Lie
He Promised to Divest From Defense and Fossil Fuels. Then He Bought More.

“Code Pink celebrated that the Khannas had ‘no investments in weapons manufacturers.’ The trades continued anyway.”
The Broken Alliance
The Leaders Who Built His Career Stopped Funding the Act
Khanna endorsed a 5% wealth tax on the same innovators who bundled millions, opened doors, and put him in Congress. He didn't challenge Wall Street — he turned on the people who actually built his career.
Sergey Brin
$20M+ supporting reform-minded candidates across California
Schmidt · Thiel · Tan · Conway
Backing competitive primaries and real accountability in CA-17
Support shifted to “Building a Better California” and the Ethan Agarwal primary challenge — not because Khanna's opponents are villains, but because Khanna's performative populism finally collided with the record. The coalition that elevated him is now investing in an alternative who can win.
He burned the bridge. CA-17 gets a real choice.
Geopolitical Subversion
He Helped Send Billions to Russia's Military-Industrial Complex
Khanna aggressively pushed for a CAATSA waiver allowing India to purchase Russia's S-400 missile defense system — a $5.4 billion deal that directly funded Moscow's defense industry.
Turkey was punished with sanctions for the exact same purchase. Khanna argued India deserved a pass. He framed it as anti-war pragmatism while aligning with Code Pink's anti-imperial rhetoric — but the waiver sent billions to the same Russian military-industrial complex he claims to oppose.
He doesn't get to be anti-war and pro-Russian arms deals at the same time.
Campaign Ethics Scandals
The ‘Anti-PAC’ Crusader Who Stole Donor Data
The Honda Data Theft
Khanna's campaign stole 10,000+ donor records from Rep. Mike Honda's re-election operation. A federal lawsuit followed. Khanna dismissed it as an “error of judgment” — the same phrase corrupt politicians use when they get caught.
The Anti-PAC Fraud
Khanna built his brand rejecting corporate PAC money — while relying on Silicon Valley bundlers who raised millions from the same network that elevated him. That support has moved on. The hypocrisy remains.
Evidence Summary
What Khanna Says vs. What His Household Does
The Demand
Ro Khanna Has Forfeited the Right to Represent CA-17
This is not a disagreement on policy. This is a congressman who built a personal fortune trading the very industries he publicly demonizes — nuclear weapons, fossil fuels, defense contractors — while lecturing working Americans about corruption and corporate greed.
Performative progressivism backed by elite impunity is not representation. It is fraud with a press release. Khanna stole donor data, broke divestment pledges, and ran a trading operation that would make a hedge fund blush — all while co-chairing the Progressive Caucus.
He doesn't get to lecture America about corruption while his family runs a high-frequency trading operation from his household. Resignation — or a serious primary defeat — is the only acceptable outcome.
