Breitbart News (Breitbart News) reported Jan. 6 that the largest U.S. banks on Wall Street are denouncing demonstrators who they say broke into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to keep Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The billionaire and multimillionaire CEOs of Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citi and JPMorgan Chase, each issued a condemnation against the protesters for storming the Capitol and not allowing Congress to certify the voter results.
In a speech, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said, “Today’s appalling events in our nation’s capital underscore the urgent need for all Americans to unite in one of our most cherished principles: the peaceful transfer of power that has never stopped taking place since our nation’s founding. “
Moynihan continued, “We must move forward together in peace, in mutual respect, focusing on the shared focus of our American ideals.” Moynihan is estimated to be worth $80 million.
Similarly, Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat, who will earn $24 million in 2019, said he was “disgusted” by the protesters and said “it was an ugly scene ……”
Corbat said, “I pray that this situation can be resolved without further bloodshed.”
JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who is worth $1.4 billion, similarly condemned the protesters in a statement. “I strongly condemn the violence in our nation’s capital. This is not what we should have as a people or as a nation. We are better than this. It is the responsibility of our elected leaders to call for an end to the violence, to accept the results and to support a peaceful transition of power in our centuries-old democracy.” Damon said. “It’s time to come together to strengthen our special bonds.”
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who is worth more than $100 million, wrote: “Our democratic politics has a worldwide gathering of goodwill that delivers important benefits to our citizens.”
Solomon continued, “Recently, we have squandered that goodwill at an alarming rate, and today’s attack on the U.S. Capitol has done further damage.” “It is time for all Americans to unite and move forward toward a peaceful transition of power. We must begin to reinvest in our democracy and rebuild the institutions that make America the preeminent nation that it is.”
In the 2020 presidential election, Wall Street’s largest banks spent about $74 million to make Biden president. Since then, Biden has roped in his transition team with major corporations and Wall Street insiders.
