Did anyone get the point of the article? Barney Frank is not blaming Trump.

If the Libs are going to use the ‘last one to touch it is to blame’ why does Biden get a pass on the boarder, Ukraine, etc, etc, etc.?

Remember when Dick Army got criticized when he referred to Barney Frank as Barney Fag?

That was long ago.

But what Biden and Warren failed to mention is that rolling back the regulations had widespread bipartisan support. In fact, 17 Senate Democrats and 33 House Democrats supported the bill, demonstrating that it was hardly a one-sided effort.

Not only that, but four Democrats and one Republican introduced the bill. This was clearly a Democrat-sponsored effort that President Trump signed, but did not create.

The View will not be dissuaded from blaming Trump by mere facts. Joy Behar is made of sterner stuff.

Thank you, every time an article mentions Barney Frank, this amazing piece should be played, just as Rush did without fail.

“With support from both parties”. I wonder where she stood at the time? I assume against, but I’m curious which Democrats voted with Republicans on that one.

Some Democrats votes to end Dodd-Frank, but it’s all Trump’s fault. Sure.

Not to mention Biden had both houses of congress and two years to change the policy. He and he alone chose not to.

Also refreshing to see Millie Smalls a real talent in contrast with the ghettopotamuses we have today.

Man, AIN’T THAT THE TRUTH. None of these skanks these days can compare to Barbara Lewis, Diana Ross and the Supremes, or Darlene Love.

Since Barney lobbied for the change he’s not going to blame it for the implosion.

He doesn’t want the GOP to wake up from their slumber and investigate his involvement.

Biden: "During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements ... to make sure the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements."

Warren: "In 2018, the big banks won. With support from both parties, President Donald Trump signed a law to roll back critical parts of Dodd-Frank regulations."

So the obvious question is to ask which regulations that were rolled back would have prevented this from happening? The obvious answer is none.
