Rubio calls Biden bank watchdog pick a 'communist' [View all]
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Friday claimed a Soviet-born Biden nominee whose family was nearly eviscerated by Josef Stalin was a communist unfit to serve in the federal government.
In a Friday tweet, Rubio accused Saule Omarova, who Biden nominated to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and who has been a U.S. citizen since 2005, of being a communist.
"Saule Omarova supports abolishing private bank accounts, using govt to bankrupt energy companies & creating a Soviet style "National Investment Authority," tweeted Rubio, whose parents fled Cuba before the Fidel Castro seized control of the country in 1959.
"She supports communist policies & a communist should not be our Comptroller of the Currency."
