Joe Biden's radical nominee for comptroller of the currency has withdrawn her candidacy. The announcement comes after pushback she received from several Democrats.
Saule Omarova would have overseen the nation's banks. However, her path to confirmation got much rockier after evidence showed the Soviet-born and educated intellectual had a soft spot for socialism. (RELATED: Soviet-Taught Biden Nominee Refuses to Release Paper Praising Karl Marx)
CNBC reports:
Omarova's withdrawal came after concerns from Republican senators about the Cornell University professor's writings as a legal scholar, as well as her background of being raised in the former Soviet Union.
“I don't know whether to call you professor or comrade,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said last month at her Banking Committee confirmation hearing, in a quip that was criticized by Democrats.

Watch a highlight of Kennedy's exchange with Omarova:
Another Republican, Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, that day said, “My concern with Professor Omarova is her long history of promoting ideas that she herself describes as ‘radical.' ”

“I agree that they are radical. But I'd also describe them as socialist,” Toomey said.

Who do you think is the most radical member of the Biden administration? Tell us in the comments below and while you're at it, spread the word on social media!
I dunno about the most radical; they’re all extreme (even Biden, who ran as a moderate). I’d say Kamala is the most incompetent, which is saying something!
No one grows out of being younger communist. One can only become older communist.
Biden’s incompetence allows Radical manipulation.
Why was she nominated in the first place? Who make the decision on that one?
The problem is this: She is an academic.
Period. End Of Sentence. As BOb our disastrous, academic, President was so fond of saying.
Free People. Listen up. Be afraid. Be very afraid of Academics and their Central Authoritarian Ideas. They always end up in a dual class society: The elite class (along with the lackey’s who serve them}, And the oppressed poverty class. Some call it: socialism or communism or some form of ism. Capitalism has led us to this Corporatocracy politburo where individual freedom is the loser.
