Financial giant Citi is finally admitting that they have been de-banking conservatives and is now promising to stop the discriminatory practice.
For years Citi was summarily closing the accounts of conservatives — especially if they support the Second Amendment. And, while the company spent years lying and claiming they were not targeting conservatives, now they are admitting to the nefarious practice and have pledged to stop doing it.
This comes as the Trump administration had begun to investigate financial services for discriminating against conservative customers.
“We will update our employee Code of Conduct and our customer-facing Global Financial Access Policy to clearly state that we do not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation in the same way we are clear that we do not discriminate on the basis of other traits such as race and religion,” the bank said in a statement.
“We also will no longer have a specific policy as it relates to firearms. Our U.S. Commercial Firearms Policy was implemented in 2018 and pertained to sale of firearms by our retail clients and partners. The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn’t address the manufacturing of firearms.”
The de-banking attacks were part of Citi’s efforts to mollify the extreme, left-wing, socialist environmental lobby.
It remains to be seen of Citi lives up to its new proclamations, but if the general pulling back from all this Woke BS that is going on generally in our business and corporate sectors, it seems likely that the end of de-banking is finally at hand.
