Republican Rep James Comer was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo and they discussed President Trump calling out banks for pulling their services from conservatives.
Bartiromo asked:
“Are you investigating whether or not US Banks are debanking conservatives?”
Comer replied:
“Yes, we are. We’ve heard numerous instances of conservatives being debanked and what we want to know is this a process of the bank’s ESG policy, or is this our government stepping in like what we found with Twitter and Facebook, where the government stepped in and said they wanted certain conservatives deplatformed and censored.”
“We want to know again, is this is the government involvement another dirty trick by the Joe Biden administration, or is this just bad liberal policy that discriminates against conservatives by the bank.”

“So, you have evidence of some banks debanking conservatives?”
Comer:
“Yes, especially people that were involved in different energy type businesses and things like that, as well as very well spoken, outspoken conservative activists, so, there are numerous instances, enough to open an investigation.”
Bartiromo:
“What should these banks expect in the coming months from your office?”
Comer:
“Well, they are gonna be asked a lot of questions. And I will say this for the banks, during the Biden influence pedaling investigation, the banks were the one entity that did cooperate with us.”
“We are not talking about debanking meaning they denied a loan. That happens every day in the banking world. This is just opening up savings accounts and checking accounts. This is unheard of to do this, and it is against the law.”
Bartiromo:
“It was 20 minutes to 12 on January 20th, when President Biden announced he was pardoning siblings minutes before leaving the White House.”
“This is an admission of guilt. Why would Joe Biden do this in the very last act when he knew the media would be focused on Trump’s swearing in and all of that. He didn’t have the courage or the guts to have a press conference to announce it.”
