Tillis backs mortgage fraud Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook against removal | Eastern NC Now

Lisa Cook, a Biden appointee to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors now has three criminal referrals against her for mortgage fraud based on three separate loans.  President Trump demanded she resign for that criminal activity directly related to her job.  She refused.  Trump fired her. She has sued, with the case in front of a Biden judge who is Cook's sorority sister (how cozy!).

Now Senator "Traitor Thom" Tillis (RINO-NC) has waded into the dispute in support of liberal Democrat mortgage fraudster Cook.  Tillis says he will not vote to consider any replacement of Cook.  This is just the latest knife in the back from the liberal Tillis to the Republican base.

Republican voters can still vote NO on Tillis by voting against Tillis' longtime ally Michael Whatley in the NC Republican US Senate primary next year.  Whatley faces staunch conservative former JAG officer Don Brown in that primary.  Whatley has worked for years serving the whims of the special interests as a partner in a Washington, DC lobbying and public relations frim.  Whatley is just as much in bed with the special interests as Tillis is.
