Wells Fargo is pushing the Biden administration's anti-gun and anti-traditional energy policies and discriminating against customers who don't fall in line with their political beliefs," Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen...

As attorney general, it's my job to protect Montanans from discriminatory business practices. I will continue to investigate and fight against any illegal actions that could impact Montana businesses and consumers."

...

Wells Fargo unexpectedly closed the business and personal accounts of Bradon Wexler, the owner of Florida-based firearms dealer Wex Gunworks, with a vague explanation for why they had done it.

"I've been with them for 25 years," Wexler told The Reload following the move. "I'm a professional fireman. I do everything the right way. It's messed up."

...

The AGs also fear that Wells Fargo's environmental initiatives will have severe consequences for its clients. In particular, they take aim at its pro-environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The ESG movement broadly seeks to advance a green transition and left-wing social priorities through the private sector.

In March 2021, Wells Fargo said they were committed to aligning their activities "to support the goals of the Paris Agreement and to helping transition to a net zero carbon economy."

In their letter, the AGs fire back at that statement, noting that the "Paris Agreement is not law in the United States" and say that the commitment "is transparently political" as Wells Fargo "continues to take more and more debanking actions to accomplish its political goals."

Another stern letter isn’t fighting back. Refusing to direct deposit state checks into Wells Fargo accounts is fighting back. Red States have a lot power and are loath to use it in the cause of liberty.

“We can fight them and continue to while creating our own parallel economy and starving them”

This is the way forward.

Technically, anybody with a Wells account probably has grounds to have it closed on account of mental incompetence.

Just wondering if I should transfer my hard-earned $$ out of Wells Fargo and switch over to So Fi.

This just made my decision.
