Rep. Todd Rokita (R-IN) is pushing to end Citibank’s federal contract after the bank adopted new gun policies.
Citibank currently enjoys a $700 billion contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), and Rokita is seeking to have that contract terminated.
Rokita sent a letter to GSA administrator Emily W. Murphy, in which he pointed to Citibank’s new policy mandating that financial customers in the firearms sector refuse to sell “high capacity” magazines and bump stocks, and also refuse to sell long guns to any one under 21, although federal law allows sales to customers age 18 and up.
Citibank’s policy also requires customers in the firearms industry to go beyond federal requirements on background checks and refuse sales to anyone whose background check goes three days without conclusively proving the would-be buyer is barred from firearm possession.
Rokita described these policies as “a flagrant attempt to undermine our fundamental rights by caving to radicals not endorsed by our federal government.” He told Administrator Murphy, “Our federal government should instead do business with companies that respect all of our constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment.”
He called on GSA to “take all necessary steps to review and terminate its contract with Citibank,” unless the finance giant reverses policy.
The 15 Reps. who signed Rokita’s letter are Rick Allen (R-GA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) Steve Russell (R-OK), Steve King (R-IA), Tom Marino (R-PA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Ralph Abraham (R-LA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Lamar Smith (R-TX), and Ron Estes (R-KS).

Lose a $700 BILLION contract? Aww, no problem. I’m sure they’ll make up more than that with the new business they get from grateful anti-2A customers.
$700 billion—That’s just crumbs.(/s)

LOL! Maybe it bears repeating.
I keep hearing about this $700 billion contract - what services can a bank provide that are worth this kind of money? Or is it a money laundering operation?
I put the title in the FR search before I posted it.
It came up empty.
Lol. As usual.
Let them announce, “we changed our mind”.
Then inform them, “ we don’t do business with firms that try to amend the constitution.
This is one TODD I like. “Go Todd”.
