On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee met to grill President Biden’s new nominee for Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Saule Omarova. Although picked by President Biden, the Republican’s main worry about the nomination comes from her history. In 2019, Omarova joined a Marxist Facebook group and even called for the end of banking as we know it. Still, with the information, President Biden continued to back her.
Although the White House might not see an issue, Banking Committee Ranking Member Pat Toomey, R-Pa, said, “I’ve never seen a more radical nominee to be a federal regulator.”
He added, “Taken in their totality, her ideas amount to a socialist manifesto for American financial services: nationalizing the banking system, putting in price controls, and creating a command-and-control economy where the government allocates resources instead of free men and women making their own decisions about the goods and services they want to buy and sell in an open market.”
But no matter what Biden or the Republicans think, when it was time for Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana to speak, he completely destroyed the nominee in just a couple of seconds. And luckily, the whole scene, which is below, was caught on camera.
While brutal, it was the end when Kennedy said, “I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade,” that caused the room to go silent.
As for Omarova, she responded, “Senator, I’m not a communist. I do not subscribe to that ideology. I could not choose where I was born…my family suffered under the communist regime — I grew up without knowing half of my family, my grandmother twice escaped death under the Stalinist regime”.
