Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member on the Senate banking committee, slammed Kevin Warsh’s confirmation as chair of the Federal Reserve, repeating many of the reservations she had about the president’s pick to lead the central bank.

“Mr Warsh has proven to be a sock puppet for Trump,” she said on the Senate floor. “During his confirmation hearing, Warsh couldn’t even say that Trump lost the 2020 election. We need a Fed chair who evaluates economic data and sets monetary policy in the real world, not in Trump’s delusional alternative reality.”

Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, added that the criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, the outgoing Fed Chair, is still ongoing. “Take it from US attorney Pirro, who said that she, quote, ‘will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation’. And she went on to promise that her office would, ‘continue to litigate the issue’,” Warren said.

    Not my job to educate you. Plus anything I say you won’t care or believe. Do your research. There plenty of articles during the 2020 primary that show just kind person she is. Also look up the debate where she pulled up hotmic and called Sanders a sexiest. Or how she stay in even after losing her own stste for Super Tuesday. She fucking cunt and hate her guts. When revolution comes she needs to go against the wall with rest of the traitors in this country.

    And keep mind she did all that because she said they promised her the VP. Which ended up going to Harris.
