Biden nominee Saule Omarova calls financial services 'quintessential a****** industry'
Fox News
President Joe Biden’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency in the Department of Treasury once referred to the financial services industry as the “quintessential a****** industry” raising questions about her objectivity if confirmed to the post.
"Federal regulators must be fair and impartial, but Joe Biden's bank regulator, Saule Omarova, has called the financial services industry, the ‘quintessential a****** industry,’" the American Accountability Foundation posted on Twitter. "How could anyone expect to be treated fairly by her office?"
Omarova’s comment is the latest controversial move from the Biden nominee, who has already received opposition from at least one Democratic senator in the heavily divided Senate.
