Snot nosed Freshman Republican senator calls Jay Powell 'the Fauci of the financial system' [View all]

Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno has attacked U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell by calling him the “Fauci of the financial system.”

President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell, whom he appointed to lead the central bank during his first term, for refusing to cut interest rates, regularly rebuking him over the issue on Truth Social and floating the idea of firing him.

The two men met in person on Thursday as Trump toured the building renovations ongoing at the Fed, griping about the inflated cost of the project and claiming it looked like it had cost $3.1 billion, not $2.7 billion, which was denied by Powell in a testy exchange.

Moreno, a former car salesman who unseated Democrat Sherrod Brown last year, was interviewed by Kaitlan Collins on CNN shortly afterwards, who asked him whether Trump was jeopardizing the traditional independence of the Fed through his repeated attacks on Powell and whether he felt its distance from the executive was still important.
