Don’t know whether to call you ‘professor’ or ‘comrade’: Kennedy brings the fire to Biden’s Treasury pick
November 18, 2021 | Jon Dougherty

Sen. John Kennedy made an eye-opening reference to Saule Omarova’s communist upbringing as he grilled President Biden’s nominee to oversee U.S. banks during a confirmation hearing on Thursday.

At one point during his questioning of Omavora, who has been nominated by Biden to head up the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller, Kennedy ticked off several of her academic works and views, all of which are deferential to far-left economic theories like Marxism and socialism, according to a video clip posted online.

“In 2020 you wrote a paper called, ‘The People’s Ledger,’ where you said we need to abolish bank accounts and make everybody set up an account with the Fed, where the federal government will have access to your data,” the Louisiana Republican said.

Brzezinski: Kennedy Bringing Up Biden Nominee Omarova’s Ties to Communism ‘Sick’ — ‘Made Me Want to Cry’

Trent Baker 19 Nov 2021

MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski on Friday said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) alluding to Biden nominee Saule Omarova’s ties to communism made her “want to cry.”

“You used to be a member of a group called the Young Communists, didn’t you?” Kennedy asked Omarova during a Senate Banking Committee hearing considering her nomination to serve as the Comptroller of the Currency.

He added, “I don’t know whether to call you Professor or Comrade.”

After airing a clip of the back and forth between Kennedy and Omarova, Brzezinski exclaimed, “Oh my god!”

She then called Kennedy’s line of questioning “sick.”

“Here, you have a United States Senator who’s trying to attack a woman because her parents had the unfortunate to being born in the regime,” host Joe Scarborough lamented.

“Look at what she’s done with her — what incredible accomplishments in her life, and now wanting to serve,” Brzezinksi stated. “And to be served up that?”

“This was sick,” she added. “This was really hard to watch. It made me want to cry. … That was really bad.”

The “Morning Joe” panel all agreed Kennedy’s behavior was “really bad” and “ugly.”

“It’s beyond despicable,” Scarborough concluded.
