they say lisa cook doesn't meet the standards. standards that seem to apply only to certain nominees who happen to be women, particularly black women. it's sort of a game of whack-a-mole. each time these allegations are rebutted, mr. president, a new, more untethered one seems to arise. dr. cook would be -- i would assert -- i don't just assert, i am certain she will be the firg black woman on the federal reserve in its more than hundred-year history. think about that. this is a country, my state, the ranking member's state or 10%, 15% afr of this country is -- te federal reserve is made up of seven people. 1913 it was founded. 109 years. never been a black woman. we have a chance to put an outstanding, very qualified black woman on and for some reason they say no, we're going to confirm her once our members are healthy, the couple of members that missed it, i believe it's two because of covid, they're going to come back. we're going to confirm her but for some reason the ranking member of the committee would like to embarrass dr.

but lisa cook is not concerned about inflation. she's not written a single paper about inflation in her entire career. instead, she's spent her career writing about racial grievances which strictly speaking aren't relevant to her job on the fed. the papers aren't even real. one of her papers be for instance, is called the

lisa cook is unquestionably qualified. if confirmed, she would be the first black woman ever in the 100-plus year history of the fed to serve on its board. think of that. 1913 the fed started. 109 years later, seven people -- not one person on the fed, not one chair, seven people on the fed at most times but seven spots oned fed. she would be the first black woman ever in 109 years. think about that. dr. cook, dr. brainard will be excellent additions to the fed. we node them on fed now as americans face rising prices caused by putin's war. having a full board is never more vital than u.n. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting dr. lael brainard and dr. lisa cook, they are nominations so they can get to work for the american people. i yield the floor, mr. president. mr. brown: i ask the senate proceed to legislative session, punish a period of northbound with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: i ask unanimous consent that the appointmen

this show has obtained lisa cook's tenure review packet at michigan state. re packet shows cook in an effort to bolster her credentials which were mildly lacking lied on her resume about writing an influential peer-reviewed paper in the economic review. they granted her tenure any way in the name of equity. equity is what lisa cook could bring to the fed in recent years, cook advocated for race-based reparations because that's not immoral or unconstitutional or anything. by some estimates, lisa cook's call for reparations could cost more than $12 trillion. where is all of money coming from when we have a debt overhang of over $30 trillion. if lisa cook is at the if heed the ted fedd could simply print more money and she might if the senate confirms her or the senate could block her confirmation when it comes to a vote and obviously they should. so democratic lawmakers and their obedient little toadies in the media are attacking this show for a quote -- this is unreal -- which is amazing. it's on twitter. it's totally made up. twitter knows that. they've kept

they wouldn't s even give her tenure at first at michigan state university this show has obtained lisa cook's tenure review packet at michigan state wasw w supported by a subset called carl stack. we're grateful for that . the tenure package shows that cook in an effort to bolster her credentials which worked put it mildly lacking,n lied on her resume about writing an influential peerd reviewed paper in the american economic review. but administrators at michigan state granted her tenure anyway in the nameed of equity and equity is what lisa cook could bring to the fed. in recent years, cook has advocated for race based reparations. isby that not immoral, unconstitutional or anything? by some estimateses, lisa cook's call for reparations could cost more than twelve trillion dollarss. the asking where's all that money coming from when we have a debt overhang ofey over 0 trillion? well, iff lisa cook is at the fedd, the fed could simply print more money and she if the senate confirms her or the senate could block her confirmation the when it cos to a voteho and obviously they should. so democra

you also write about what happens to lisa cook. a f date as part of its effort to undermine at least a cooks nomination? >> they have gone to just incredible lengths to try to hurt these people's reputations. lisa cook is someone who, when she was in college, won a martial scholarship. she then went on and got a ph.d. in economics from university of california in berkeley. she has got the support of glenn halpern and other republicans. hubbard served in high economic positions in the george w. bush administration. this is a person with tremendous credentials. she's got a tenured position at the university of michigan. michigan college. and she's highly respected. but what they have trying to do is send out letters to all the people on the faculty, trying to find someone who said that she did not deserve the tenure that she got. and trying to just, basically, pull apart her research. and you can see on the twitter account belongs to this group, that they basically just set out right that the lisa cook they claim is in her positions
