Former U.S. House candidate and current American Greatness contributor Pete D’Abrosca found out on Tuesday that Wells Fargo had cancelled his savings account “with no explanation.” The news comes immediately after Wells Fargo closed the account of America First activist Lauren Witzke, leaving her stranded out-of-state with no money.
D’Abrosca first reported the news on Twitter, writing “@WellsFargo just closed my accounts with no explanation. I’m sure it has *nothing* to do with my political opinions.”
Speaking to National File about the situation, D’Abrosca stated, “Clearly there’s been some kind of conspiracy within Wells Fargo to ban prominent right wingers from using their banking services. This is yet another reminder that major monopolies in both banking and tech are not operating within a purely free market capitalistic system. They must be broken up, and their CEOs and executive level employees and board members jailed until we can figure out how to stop discrimination from “private” companies against the political right.”
“As for Wells Fargo specifically, they’ve always had a garbage product and I feel like my money will be safer and put to better use in a local credit union or regional bank,” D’Abrosca added.
The conservative commentator told National File that Wells Fargo had refused to cut him a check in person containing the balance of his account, telling him that a check was already in the mail. When D’Abrosca asked if they could cancel the check and write him a new one, the bank refused, citing the fact that his account was already closed.
“I have three accounts with Wells Fargo, a personal checking, a business checking, and a savings account,” D’Abrosca noted. “The personal savings account is the only account that they banned, so I have two other accounts, I can use my debit card right now. It seems like somebody’s just messing with us. It’s almost as if there’s some cheap diversity moron, or maybe somebody on a rung lower, who has the power and has a list and who is like, ‘Delete, delete, delete.'”
D’Abrosca told National File that he is currently in contact with his attorney, and plans to pursue any available legal action that can be taken.
As National File previously reported, Lauren Witzke was also cancelled by Wells Fargo on Tuesday.
I just wish I still had an account there, but I pulled it years ago because they are simply a terrible bank.
Be careful what you say...
The DOJ is preparing rooms for conservative dissidents, I mean, "domestic extremists."
Wells Fargo is just helping them to stir the pot.
Now we know who is older. Lol. Just kidding. I have stayed there because they always treated good. Mortgage my house there and had loans through them.
The amount of surveillance being conducted on Americans is far worse than the Gestapo, it’s even worse than the Stasi where 1/6 of the population were informants. You don’t even have a clear set of rules to follow to avoid getting in trouble. It’s all post-hoc nebulous violations of “community guidelines” in an effeminate passive-aggressive, “I’m not going to tell you what you did wrong” manner.
Democrat team is well on their way to labeling white conservative-minded people domestic terrorists.
So it's sufficient to just "claim" it, or does that need to be adjudicated in some way?
I’d cancel my other two accounts with them immediately and publicly take my business elsewhere ...
This one should be easy. Any conservative with a Wells Fargo account should close it immediately.
Only the government can designate someone as a terrorist.
You don’t need to be rich or famous, just a former customer.
Which they did if Lauren Witzke is on no-fly list.
Well I hope they don’t start dropping people because of politics. But don’t look good.
Wells Fargo and Bank of America have horrible records with customers. Their customers must know this by now.
Yes, it’s political retribution for being on the right side. The government is happy to allow banks and credit card companies to drop people for thinking the wrong way. It’s known and encouraged by the current corrupt government.
You’re right - and business accounts may be moved as well once staff can demonstrate to their bosses that the fees charged by some of these big banks are insane. In good economic times with higher interest rates many don’t notice, but when paltry interest (if any) fails to cover ridiculous fees it is easy to make the case to move to another bank.
it never was about our protection
Of course! We do all of our business through a regional bank and know the Senior Officers. Only way.
I don’t know why anyone would bank with Wells Fargo to begin with. They are a no good group and have been for a very long time.
But I am surprised that, aside from criminal enterprises, that any bank can just refuse to bank with you.
No, I’m the Amerika of #PresidentPotato, Nanzi Pelousy, Chuck U Schumer and, of course, the coarse, cackling Kamila the Hunny. We are so screwed.
