Elizabeth Warren Roars Over Possible CFPB Dissolution, Steve Bannon's Appointment

By Karoli Kuns — November 14, 2016

Elizabeth Warren is making herself heard on Twitter, needling Donald Trump over Steve Bannon and her fellow senators -- Republican and Democratic -- over their plans to kill the CFPB.

First, the CFPB:

It’s only been a few days since the election & Wall St banks & their @GOP friends are already licking their chops to undercut the @CFPB.

You’re going to hear a lot of reasons why we must make these changes to the @CFPB. Not one of them is going to be true.

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 14, 2016

The real reason Wall St & their @GOP allies are going after the @CFPB is because it’s working too darn well for consumers & must be stopped.

The @CFPB has returned over $11 BILLION to consumers who have been cheated by big banks & financial institutions.

Anyone in Congress – GOP or Dem – who votes to weaken the @CFPB will declare loud & clear they represent giant banks, not working families.

And then in the last hour, Steve Bannon's appointment:

Tell us, @realDonaldTrump: You said you'd be a "President for all." Then why are you embracing the ugliness & divisiveness of your campaign?

Steve Bannon promoted white nationalism, @realDonaldTrump. He's been praised by KKK supporters & denounced by @splcenter & @ADL_National .

The President of the United States should condemn bigots, @realDonaldTrump. Not give them a West Wing office to decide our country's future.
