Biden's Soviet-born Comptroller of the Currency nominee wants oil and gas companies to go 'bankrupt”

Video has emerged of President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, saying she wants oil and gas companies to go 'bankrupt.'

'We want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change, right?' the Soviet-born Omarova said in a clip that was shared online by the conservative-leaning American Accountability Foundation.

She made the comments in February when appearing at the Jain Family Institute's Social Wealth Seminar, where she was making the case for a National Investment Authority, which would pull resources from the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve to allocate public and private capital for green infrastructure projects.

The resurfaced clip could hinder Omarova's ability to get all 50 Democrats to support her nomination, as every Republican is expected to vote against the Cornell University law professor.

Certainly explains why Granholm is laughing a Americans about gasoline prices. When Omarova leads the destruction of the American energy industry $10 per gallon will seem like a bargain.

None of what we are seeing is due to stupidity or incompetence, although there is plenty of that in spades.

To the Leftists, that serves as a mask to throw people off the trail of the real, horrible, and depressing truth: The destruction of this Republic is fully intentional, and the impression (and reality) of stupidity and incompetence is part of the process.

People would see this quite differently (and act differently) if they suspected the truth that destruction is intentional as opposed to an unfortunate result of incompetent boobs getting elected in a fair election.

OK. We get rid of fossil fuels and then what? Replace it with what? Solar and wind produce 4% of energy needs. How are you going to have your 80 car parades for Biden if there is not gas for the cars you fool. How are you going to fly 400 planes to a summit to tell us climate change is “real”. You are all fools and Biden (Obama) choose you all.

So a hard core commie from the Soviet Union is going to be Controller of the Currency? I feel like I’m living in a Twilight Zone episode.

Biden is lowing a known Russian asset into the Treasury Department. Because Hunter Biden needs more money and Joe wants his 10% to grow.

The Russians would never let a Communist holdover like this anywhere near their economy.

“Biden’s Soviet-born Comptroller of the Currency nominee wants oil and gas companies to go ‘bankrupt””

The entire Biden Administration wants that. She was just honest enough to say it.

She sounds like a Russian spy to me. Could Putin be any happier with this news?

It's important in discussing this subject, as with anything liberals discuss is to pay attention to the wording.

This is one liberalism's greatest strengths, controlling the verbiage. Most decent, hardworking Americans are largely unaware of just how insidiously and advantageously this works for liberals in shutting up ordinary people who are afraid of being called ''racist'' or some such nonsense. My point here is there is no such thing as ''fossil fuel''. This is one of the Lefts linguistic tactics, making up words to create or fit a non existent narrative. The left would have us all believe that oil is a ''fossil fuel, the left over remain of animals and vegetation and that it's use by We The People is causing irreparable harm to the environment and we're all being selfish with our ''privilege by driving cars, having heat and air conditioning and clean running water and we have to atone for this sin. The production of oil is an on going, never ending geological process that has nothing to do with dead dinosaurs and everything to do with the left turning us into Cuba.
