Sens. Kennedy and Scott Take Apart Scary Statements of Biden Nominee Saule Omarova – Opinion

Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, faced fierce questions from Republicans on the Hill today. Her radical views about capitalism and banking are a reason for this. Dennis Santiago (my colleague) has previously written about these views here and here.

This is her argument for why private banking should be abolished and government control increased by having all transactions run through the Fed. “How is it politically feasible for the Central Bank to effectively take money away from people’s accounts?” she asks.

Oh. That’s reassuring. It sounds as if they would like the government to have complete control over everything, and then simply take your money. That’s what you would call a “system”.

Then there’s this fun piece here where she talks about how they wish for oil and gas companies to go bankrupt because that will help their climate change goals.

Today, Sen. John Kennedy (R.LA) and Senator Tim Scott (R.SC) questioned her at her Senate hearing.

Kennedy brought up how Omarova called the financial services industry a “quintessential a**hole industry.”

He also noted that she previously called upon the federal government for wages, food and gasoline prices to be set. He mentioned her desire to eliminate private bank accounts so the government could access all of your data. She spoke of her desire to establish a National Investment Authority, which will be their hub to achieve their climate goals. He also mentioned how she once wrote that she wanted to declare bankruptcy oil and gas in order to combat climate change. He said that she had joined a Marxist group on Facebook in 2019. “I don’t know whether to call you Professor or Comrade,” Kennedy finished.

This was a wonderful synopsis that ended with a terrific finish.

But still, the statement of the hearing was probably from Scott who basically asked why is this nominee even before us when she is so “poorly suited” for this job.

He went through her writings and finished, “I don’t have any questions for you because there’s nothing you can say today to undo what you’ve said for years, including this year.”

Now that’s a finish.

How troubling it is that someone with so radical ideas would even be eligible for the position. It says a tremendous amount about how Joe Biden hoodwinked America into this phony concept that he was “moderate” when he puts forward nominees like this. They want to move us to a government-controlled society that can dictate government policy and can have complete control over our accounts and our lives. Could we really call it fundamental transformation?

That’s not moderate. That’s beyond frightening. But that’s where we are now.
