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.

It’s horrifying that this woman could ever have been nominated. Joe Biden has been a lot of things in his career - corrupt, a serial liar, a plagiarist, an utter mediocrity. But he’s never been an outright Communist, and that’s what this woman he nominated is. To me, this just adds to the mountain of evidence that Biden is no longer competent and is simply being manipulated by his handlers.

They liked the way Hillary used the word “progressive.” Teddy Roosevelt turning over in his grave.

True, but I think everyone in the Soviet Union had to learn Russian.

Biden just loves reds of all shades. He’s appointed enough of them in his administration/White House and govt agencies.
