Centrist Dems sink Biden’s nominee for top bank regulator
Axios ^ | 24 Nov 2021 | Hans Nichols

Posted on 11/24/2021 4:07:29 PM PST by Rummyfan

Five Democratic senators have told the White House they won't support Saule Omarova to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, effectively killing her nomination for the powerful bank-regulator position.

Why it matters: The defiant opposition from a broad coalition of senators reflects the real policy concerns they had with Omarova, a Cornell University law professor who's attracted controversy for her academic writings about hemming in big banks.

Their opposition also hints at a willingness of some Democratic senators to buck the White House on an important nomination, even if it hands Republicans a political — and symbolic — victory.

Republicans have attacked the Kazakh-born scholar in remarkably personal terms, and turned her nomination into a proxy battle over how banks should be regulated.

Axios thinks most Americans want the government to control their private bank accounts, I guess.

Biden will probably select someone just as radical but without the baggage.

At the confirmation hearing for this blockheaded jerk,
the irrepressible Sen Kennedy asked if he should address her as “comrade”?

Let’s see who they put up next for Comptroller of the Currency. It will be almost, but not quite as bad. The Dems who rejected Omerova will be so grateful that Biden put up another Communist who graduated from Moscow State University on a Lenin scholarship, they will support whoever it is.
