Massachusetts U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who dreamed up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and saw it transform into reality under the Dodd-Frank reforms of 2010, pounced on her chance Thursday to criticize the man currently at the helm of the agency.
Bureau acting chief Mick Mulvaney appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and Warren used her time to accuse Mulvaney of "never" supporting the "consumer watchdog," reminding him of the time when as a congressman he "voted in favor of a Republican budget that called for eliminating the agency entirely."
