Subject: We need answers about family separation. Will you sign my petition?

Kathy Kraninger’s role in the border separation policy is a moral stain that will follow her for the rest of her life – and if we give her a big promotion to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, then it’s a stain on the senators who vote for her.

Ann -- Elizabeth Warren is courageously taking on Kathy Kraninger over her role in Donald Trump's cruel immigration policies -- with the most powerful confrontation coming yesterday in a pivotal Senate hearing, as Sen. Warren describes below. We need to have her back now.

Kraninger has been tapped to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the important agency Sen. Warren helped develop. But she refuses to answer questions about her possible role in developing Donald Trump's family separation policies. Check out Elizabeth Warren's email from yesterday below, then sign our petition demanding answers from Kathy Kraninger on family separation now.<http://act.democracyforamerica.com/sign/ew-kraninger/?t=1&refcode=g-kraninger0720.d-20180720.m-11507.s-44839&akid=11507%2E1713965%2ER8gTgq> -- Karli Wallace Thompson, Senior Digital Manager, Democracy for America

I'm disgusted.

I just got back to my office from the Senate Banking Committee, where I asked Kathy Kraninger – Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – some tough questions.

As a White House Office of Management and Budget official, Kraninger oversaw the budget for the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice – the two cabinet agencies that implemented Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy that ripped babies away from their parents at the border.

I repeatedly asked her: Did you help develop or implement this policy?

She bobbed, she weaved – and she completely dodged the question.

Then I asked her, point blank: Do you think it is immoral to set up a plan whose deliberate intent is to inflict harm on children?

She couldn’t give me a straight answer. She refused to answer the question “yes” or “no.”

Kathy Kraninger’s role in the border separation policy is a moral stain that will follow her for the rest of her life – and if we give her a big promotion to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, then it’s a stain on the senators who vote for her.

We still need answers from Kathy Kraninger – because we certainly didn’t get them in today’s confirmation hearing. The American people need to see Kraninger’s OMB documents and emails detailing her role in this immigration policy – to see who Trump wants to put in charge of an agency whose sole mission is to stand up for people who don’t have power.

Add your name now: Sign our petition to demand more answers about Kathy Kraninger’s involvement in Trump’s cruel family separation.<http://act.democracyforamerica.com/sign/ew-kraninger/?t=2&refcode=g-kraninger0720.d-20180720.m-11507.s-44839&akid=11507%2E1713965%2ER8gTgq>

This isn’t about politics – this is about people. The CFPB needs a leader who will stand up to powerful interests and level the playing field for working people – and I know that person is not Kathy Kraninger.

Thanks for being a part of this,

- Elizabeth
