Please tell me what the CFPB is doing to hold predatory subprime auto lenders accountable.

I think it is really important to show that right now black applicants were almost twice as likely to be denied conventional home purchase loans as white applicants in 2016.
I think this would lead to a huge crisis in our country to have kill switches on these vehicles.
Increasingly, subprime auto lenders have been using kill switches that allow them to turn off and lock a car when a consumer misses a payment.
I represent a very--a community that has been polluted--you know, corporations have been polluting the air there, impacting the water source for decades now.
I want to first thank the leadership of Congressman Dan Kildee, as well as Fitzpatrick, in working on such a critical issue to our Nation.
I think it goes beyond the capacity. It is also the will or some political courage.
I do not call Mr. Meadows a racist. I am trying as a person of color, Mr. Chairman, just to express myself and how I felt at that moment.
The fact that someone would actually use a prop, a black woman, in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself.
Just to make a note, Mr. Chairman, that just because someone has a person of color, a Black person working for them, does not mean they aren't racist.
Donald Trump is setting a precedent that the highest office can be attained through illegal activity.
Mr. Cohen, as you know, to President Donald J. Trump brand comes first, not the American people.
My stance has always been the same, Mr. Chairman, based on the facts, not on future reports that we're all waiting on.
The people at home are frustrated, Mr. Cohen, and they want criminal schemes to stop, especially those from the Oval Office.
I feel like the only way is to always have this overwhelming oversight no matter who's in control here and who's in the body.
I want you to know, my first bill, the Justice For All Civil Rights Act, is going to basically be able to say we have to--you can show disparate impact to be able to get some sort of legal resolution to this.
I want to introduce a bill that basically says that you can't provide credit scoring... because there is no connection with somebody's driving record and what their credit score is.
It was actually President Ronald Reagan who passed--did you all know--the low-income tax housing--it is incredible to read that he birthed this approach, this, what I would call, win-win in many ways.
