Biden's pick for bank watchdog pulls out
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2021 | SYLVAN LANE

Posted on 12/07/2021 1:34:00 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden’s pick to lead a top bank regulator withdrew her nomination Tuesday after blistering attacks from Republicans and concerns among moderate Democrats.

Saule Omarova, who Biden nominated to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), pulled herself from consideration in a letter Biden released Tuesday, calling her nomination “untenable.”

“As a strong advocate for consumers and a staunch defender of the safety and soundness of our financial system, Saule would have brought invaluable insight and perspective to our important work on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement.

Well, she was/is an outright communist, and she should not have even been nominated for the banking position.

She needed to withdraw, and speaking of communists who don’t belong...

How ‘bout most of the progressive democrats, who are using the word ‘progressive’ just to disguise what they really are, and that’s downright communists. Start with AOC and Bernie Sanders and Pelosi and Schumer, and then, take it all the way up to the White House, where Biden is implementing the communist agenda which is destroying the country.

All of them need to follow Omarova out the door.

Never should have been nominated in the first place. I can’t believe anyone thought she’d be a good fit for Comptroller of the Currency.

I wonder which other Commie will be nominated. Maybe someone from Beijing or perhaps Wuhan?

"Thank you, my friend" ?

You are always the gentleman. I think what you meant to say is "Прощай, уродливая шлюшка!" ("Goodbye, you ugly slut!")

I guess it’s a victory that the most obvious communist is gone.

Now if she would go back to Moscow too.

Moscow floats their currency, uses a flat tax, enjoys a foreign trade surplus, and stacks gold.

No wonder Comrade Omarova fled the country.

Well, now we know where that line is drawn. Communistic bank takeover.
Have to admit I was worried she’d squeak through.
