WASHINGTON - Today, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement slamming Biden’s communist Comptroller nominee Saule Omarova and calling on the United States Senate to oppose her nomination.
“Saule Omarova is a communist––plain and simple––and should have her nomination for Comptroller pulled immediately. Her track record and documented disdain for capitalism are grounds for disqualification for any position in the United States government. Omarova unapologetically stated that she’d like to see players in America’s energy industry go ‘bankrupt,’ adding she’d want the federal government to take over energy companies and ‘restructure’ those companies to comply with her radical climate change ideology.
“Ultimately, she wants to pick the winners and losers in our economy; this is un-American and antithetical to capitalism. While her radical leftist ideology is concerning, it is crazy that the Biden administration found it appropriate to nominate such a person to a position with such power over America’s financial industry. I urge my colleagues in the United States Senate to oppose her nomination and send a clear message to the Biden-Harris administration that communism has no place in America’s bureaucratic institutions.”
