Trump Attacks 'Pocahontas' Warren: She's An 'Angry Person'
- 5 years ago
President Trump held a media event on Friday.
President Trump has once again slammed Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren--this time, calling her "an angry person."
During remarks to the National Association of REALTORS Friday, the president was talking about lifting "heavy-handed regulations" against those in the housing business when he mentioned the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which Warren had initially proposed.
Trump referenced Warren using his derogatory nickname for her, saying: "Pocahontas had an agency that was...I mean, she was a disaster. She enjoyed destroying these local lenders. I mean, I think she got pleasure out of destroying beautiful local lenders who have been lending to your clients, and probably yourselves, for years."
"She's got a lot of pent up anger," Trump added. "She's an angry person….Making it very tough on people that you know….By some estimates, under the previous administration, CFPB regulations cost credit unions a stunning $6 billion. Well, that's what we're talking about. That was her baby."
CNBC notes, the agency, which was launched in 2011 under the Obama administration, has largely been tasked with consumer protection in the financial sector.
