You love to see it.

President Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Saturday.

Rohit Chopra received an email Saturday morning informing him that he had been terminated, CNN reported.

On Saturday Chopra announced he was leaving the post.

“This letter confirms that my term as CFPB Director has concluded. I know the CFPB is ready to work with you and the next confirmed Director, and we have a great deal of energy to ensure continued success,” Rohit Chopra said.

It's been an honor serving as your @CFPB Director.

Every day, Americans from across the country shared their ideas and experiences with us. You helped us hold powerful companies & their executives accountable for breaking the law, and you made our work better.

Thank you. pic.twitter.com/JD7lIcwmHa

Rohit Chopra was a toxic Biden holdover who previously threatened banks that refused to give credit lines and loans to illegal aliens.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the DOJ warned banks and lending institutions in a joint statement in October 2023.

“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Justice Department today issued a joint statement that reminds financial institutions that all credit applicants are protected from discrimination on the basis of their national origin, race, and other characteristics covered by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, regardless of their immigration status,” the CFPB said in a statement.

“The CFPB and Justice Department are issuing this statement because consumers have reported being rejected for credit cards as well as for auto, student, personal, and equipment loans because of their immigration status, even when they have strong credit histories and ties to the United States and are otherwise qualified to receive the loans.” they said.

“Fair access to credit is crucially important for building wealth and strengthening household financial stability,” said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra. “The CFPB will not allow companies to use immigration status as an excuse for illegal discrimination.”

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke warned banks that they may be violating federal law if they don’t give illegal aliens loans.

“Lenders should not deny people the opportunity to take out a loan to buy a home, build their businesses or otherwise pursue their financial goals because of unlawful bias and without regard to their actual ability to repay,” said Kristen Clarke. “This guidance reminds lenders that denying someone access to credit based solely on their actual or perceived immigrant status may violate federal law.”

Good riddance.

its great that Trump fired the woke, Democrat Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - but now Congress needs to do its job to eliminate this bureau entirely.

FU American-hating parasite. Find a job in the private sector and work for a living - like the American people whose money you’ve been living off of and giving away.

The Democrats never counted on the pendulum swinging the other way. They really thought that with their corruption and fraud they had secured power forever.

The “Leftist Utopia” the Democrats tried to create is being taken down brick by brick. The fight is far from over and we know they’re dangerous when wounded, but the left is losing a lot of its political power and their image is being tarnished more and more in the eyes of the American people!

The CFPB needs to be destroyed, dismantled or otherwise annihilated. Unaccountable, no oversight, it is a bureaucracy that is not needed.
