Trump rebukes Bank of America, Chase for debanking conservatives; Sam Brownback 'delighted'

[Michie]

Sam Brownback, the former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, welcomed President Donald Trump publicly rebuking the CEOs of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase for allegedly "debanking" conservatives.

"I'm delighted," Brownback, who also served as a U.S. senator and governor of Kansas before assuming the ambassador position in Trump's first administration, told The Christian Post Thursday. "This thing has been swept under the carpet for way too long, and to get it finally out in the open is an important step to getting it solved."

After Trump called out their CEOs in front of a global audience this week, both JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have drawn renewed scrutiny for their alleged discriminatory practices against conservatives and Christians.

Operative word: "Alleged."
This week seems to be filled with darts of unfounded accusations, testing the waters and seeing what will stick. SMH.

May I ask you how you would have responded if President Biden had said this to the CEOs of those banks instead of President Trump?

He hasn't. He didn't. He wouldn't.

He hasn't. He didn't. He wouldn't.

That didn't really answer my question.

I did answer your question. There is hardly a politician living whose communication skills are as crude, bombastic, impulsive, abd unwarranted as the current president's.
MTG is about the only other person I could imagine.

Well, since you are not really going to address the hypothetical question, I won't ask it of you again. In fact, I truly doubt President Donald Trump says anything at all with which you would agree. However, I sincerely do hope that I am wrong about that.

Here are some relevant portions from the OP article:

Sam Brownback, the former U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, welcomed President Donald Trump publicly rebuking the CEOs of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase for allegedly "debanking" conservatives.

"I'm delighted," Brownback, who also served as a U.S. senator and governor of Kansas before assuming the ambassador position in Trump's first administration, told The Christian Post Thursday. "This thing has been swept under the carpet for way too long, and to get it finally out in the open is an important step to getting it solved."

After Trump called out their CEOs in front of a global audience this week, both JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America have drawn renewed scrutiny for their alleged discriminatory practices against conservatives and Christians.

The bank account of the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF), a nonpartisan, multi-faith nonprofit Brownback launched in 2022, was shuttered by JPMorgan Chase without explanation less than three weeks after it was opened that year.

Brownback alleged at the time that JPMorgan Chase stonewalled their executive director when he asked the bank why the account had been closed.

"The people said the decision was made at the corporate level, it's secret, we're not going to tell you why, and it's irrevocable," Brownback toldFOX Business. "We were just stunned."

He said Chase offered to reconsider doing business with them if they disclosed their donors and provided a list of the political candidates they intended to support.
