Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy on Thursday questioned Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg during a Thursday hearing about his leadership at the agency.
The FDIC’s workplace culture is plagued by inappropriate conduct, including “sexual harassment, discrimination, and other interpersonal misconduct,” according to a recent report by law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton. Kennedy was incredulous that Gruenberg believes he is the ideal person to run the FDIC and told him he should resign.
“Do I understand you, sir, that you believe you’re the person to clean up the FDIC?” Kennedy asked, to which Gruenberg answered affirmatively.
Love, love, love that senator Kennedy!
