President Trump just dropped the hammer on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and liberals are having a total meltdown. Cook was Biden’s diversity pick for the Fed in 2022, chosen not for her economic skills but because she checked the right boxes. The whole thing shows how the left puts woke politics ahead of what’s best for America’s economy.
Cook spent years working for the Obama administration and pushing leftist economic policies. She made her career studying so-called inequality instead of focusing on real economic growth. Her research centers on race and gender instead of the hard numbers that actually matter to working families.
When Biden nominated her, Republicans saw right through the political game. The Senate vote was dead even at 50-50, and only passed because Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. Most Senate Republicans knew she was the wrong choice for such an important job.
Now Cook faces serious allegations of mortgage fraud from before she joined the Fed. Trump appointee Bill Pulte says she lied about having two primary homes to get better loan rates. If true, this shows the kind of person Democrats put in charge of our nation’s money supply.
Cook is refusing to step down and claims Trump has no right to fire her. This is typical leftist behavior – when caught, they dig in and fight instead of doing the right thing. She thinks she’s above the law and doesn’t have to answer to the American people.
The same Trump official making these charges has also gone after other Democrats who targeted the president. Adam Schiff and Letitia James are also being investigated for similar housing fraud. It’s time these swamp creatures face real consequences for their actions.
Democrats are crying that Trump is trying to control the Federal Reserve. But the Fed should answer to the American people, not operate as some untouchable leftist institution. We need people who will put America first, not push woke agenda items.
This fight shows the difference between Trump’s America and Biden’s failed policies. While Biden picked people based on their skin color and politics, Trump demands competence and honesty. Cook’s refusal to leave proves she cares more about power than serving the country that gave her everything.
