Republican Rep James Comer was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo and discussed President Trump calling out banks for discriminating against conservative clients.
“Are you investigating whether or not US Banks are debanking conservatives?” Bartiromo asked.
“Yes, we are. We’ve heard numerous instances of conservatives being debanked and what we want to know is this a process of the bank’s ESG policy, or is this our government stepping in like what we found with Twitter and Facebook, where the government stepped in and said they wanted certain conservatives deplatformed and censored,” Comer said.
“We want to know again, is this is the government involvement another dirty trick by the Joe Biden administration, or is this just bad liberal policy that discriminates against conservatives by the bank,” Comer continued.
“So, you have evidence of some banks debanking conservatives?” Bartiromo asked.
“Yes, especially people that were involved in different energy type businesses and things like that, as well as very well spoken, outspoken conservative activists, so, there are numerous instances, enough to open an investigation,” Comer continued.
“What should these banks expect in the coming months from your office?” Bartiromo asked.
“Well, they are gonna be asked a lot of questions. And I will say this for the banks, during the Biden influence pedaling investigation, the banks were the one entity that did cooperate with us,” Comer said.
