It is so cynical. If Professor Omarova had actually been somebody who had been out there saying and writing, ma`am, we need to help the big financial institutions and whatever JP Morgan chase wants is what I`m for and we should deregulate…

The attacks on your nomination have been vicious and personal. We`ve just seen them, sexism, racism, pages straight out of Joe McCarthy`s 1950s red scare tactics.

My minimum tax through, the one I have with Senator King, and we`re going to get it through. The one that says giant corporations, Amazon, pay nothing in taxes even when they`re reporting billions in profits, 15 percent minimum tax. It`s…

I believe that banking regulators should use the tools in their toolkit to make sure that no bank, small or especially large, gets away with repeated violations of the law, especially when that hurts real families and real businesses on…

I know that the giant banks object to your willingness to enforce the law to keep our system safe and that you may cut into big bank profits.

Opposition to Professor Omarova has nothing to do with her qualifications or her ability to do this job. Professor Omarova will be an honest cop on the beat. She will not grovel before powerful banks and big tech companies.

Whoa, Professor Omarova, I think I know why you are being attacked so viciously. These banks want to avoid accountability, and they certainly want to avoid personal liability for their executives, and they are willing to do whatever it…

This is a vicious smear campaign, coordinated by Republicans who are doing the bidding of giant banks...

We have recognized that the war on drugs put a lot of people behind bars for doing nothing more than smoking marijuana.

Let’s raise the wages of every child care worker and preschool teacher in America. Let’s make those jobs. The way we made construction jobs two generations ago, good middle-class jobs.

Let’s get Build Back Better done, so that we’re really creating the infrastructure, so we have got the child care, so those mamas in particular can go back to work.

This is the reason that we need Build Back Better. If we really are talking about what affects people’s pocketbooks every single day, week after week, year after here, it’s these big expenses.

It is time to acknowledge the changes, acknowledge our mistakes from the past, and say... let`s just take nonviolent offenders, people who have violated those old marijuana laws, and let`s turn them loose, and let`s expunge those records.

If we really -- this were just ordinary inflation, we might see prices go up, but prices at the pump have gone up. Why? Well, let me give you a hint. Chevron, Exxon have doubled their profits. This isn`t about inflation. This is about…

Because LIBOR is so widely used, homeowners and students who have never heard of LIBOR will be at risk when it is discontinued if we do not take action.

It is long past time for transparency in this space.

I think these companies have far too much power and they should be broken up.

I know that you are going to help make our consumer financial markets both fairer and more transparent, and that is going to help millions of American families.

We work to undo the legacy, the awful long legacy, from Black codes to Jim Crow to redlining, and beyond.

I applaud your decision to join DOJ and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to enforce our fair housing and fair lending laws.
