Breitbart reports, “Friday, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) reacted to five Democratic senators reportedly opposing President Joe Biden’s nomination of Saule Omarova as the Comptroller of the Currency.

.@SenJohnKennedy said it best when he asked if he should call her “professor or comrade.” The leader of the OCC has a very important job and one that cannot be left to the progressive, ultra-liberal agenda Democrats have proposed.https://t.co/U3e32jImIB

— Congresswoman Kat Cammack (@RepKatCammack) November 29, 2021

Cammack, pointing to Omarova’s Marxist ‘philosophies,’ told Fox Business Network’s ‘Varney & Company’ that the banking nominee is ‘not fit’ for the job.

‘The thing about this administration that baffles me — I truly do not know where their heads are at. They are so far removed from reality. It’s concerning,’ Cammack stated. ‘You know when you have someone, and I think about Senator Kennedy’s remarks when he addressed her, ‘is it professor or comrade?’ Her philosophies are rooted in Marxism. She is not fit to be our banking nominee.”

FEE’s Brad Polumbo writes, “Many of President Biden’s nominees have been quietly confirmed without much of a fight. But the president’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova, is drawing backlash for her extreme economic views. Republican Senator Pat Toomey, a staunch fiscal conservative, said he has ‘[n]ever seen a more radical choice for any regulatory spot in our federal government.’

What’s prompting the unusual level of pushback on this nomination for a top regulatory position?

Saule Omarova openly admits that her proposed reforms ‘will effectively end banking as we know it.’ https://t.co/TezHJNTwVV

Well, Omarova has an unusual educational and ideological background that, in conjunction with her many public statements, suggests she is sympathetic to—if not outright supportive of—the state-run economic model that dominated the former Soviet Union where she grew up…

Forget the gulags, economic stagnation, shortages, and political oppression—Omarova still believes the former Soviet economy is a model for the US, at least in some ways. Perhaps most disturbingly, one of those ways Omarova favors the Soviet system is banking: the very sector she’s nominated to oversee.”
