The Republican-controlled House Financial Services Committee is taking heat for listing 'diversity and inclusion' as part of its agenda.
New to the committee is Rep. Byron Donalds , one of five black Republican members of Congress, a member of the Freedom Caucus, and a candidate for House speaker during the contentious speaker race at the start of the year.
Donalds, who previously had a longtime career in finance and banking, told Breitbart News in a statement the committee’s plan was “far from the road of woke policies like ESG investing” but stood by the focus on “diversity and inclusion,” noting they were a means to “truly mobilize and amplify people rather than practice placation.
Upon taking control of the committee, McHenry had appeared to move away from Democrats’ race-focused social causes by eliminating the Diversity and Inclusion Subcommittee, which had been established by former chair Rep. Maxine Waters in 2019. Waters said she was “deeply disappointed” by the move and that McHenry’s decision to instead include diversity under the jurisdiction of every subcommittee was “simply insufficient.”
Breitbart News reached out to other Republican committee members, including Housing and Insurance Subcommittee chair Rep. Warren Davidson and Capital Markets Subcommittee chair Rep. Ann Wagner , but did not receive a response.
