Treasury Pick Janet Yellen: “We cannot tolerate pervasive and persistent misconduct at any bank.”

On her last day at the Fed, she sanctioned Wells Fargo for “widespread consumer abuses,” including “3.5 million fake customer accounts.”

Liz Warren:

Janet Yellen would be an outstanding choice for Treasury Secretary. She is smart, tough, and principled. As one of the most successful Fed Chairs ever, she has stood up to Wall Street banks, including holding Wells Fargo accountable for cheating working families.

For the past four years, Secretary Mnuchin has catered to the wealthy and well-connected, while struggling families and small businesses were left behind. I’d look forward to working with Secretary Yellen to strengthen our economy, tackle inequality, and protect consumers.

here's a couple replies to Senator Warren that illustrate why she is a Senator and they are not:

I feel like we are going backwards. Janet Yellen? Jeez. We all know that @SenWarren should have been the choice.

She herself is literally endorsing whole heartedly this choice, but you choose to pick these battles and entrench the divide further? Christ almighty.

No this is a horrible pick and will cost the Dems in the next election. Why on earth would Biden’s admin be so dense. Americans voted for change not this.....

Promising to see: two new Biden WH appointments, with "massive Hill experience" working both sides of aisle

Notably, @Shuwanza has v strong relationships w Rs as well as Ds. Former snr Paul Ryan aide @AnneBradburyDC tells me: "No one knows House Dem caucus and how to get things done better...She has earned the respect of both members and staff on both sides of the aisle..." https://t.co/oM5705bNSV
