The New York Times was criticized over its report on Saule Omarova, President Biden’s controversial nominee to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, who backed out on Tuesday.

Rather than acknowledging Omarova’s radical positions, like advocating for “effectively end[ing] banking as we know it,” or her refusal to turn over her thesis on Marxism, the Times instead blamed her critics for “painting” her as a communist because she was born in the Soviet Union.

"Saule Omarova, a Cornell Law professor whom President Biden picked for a key banking regulator job, is withdrawing from consideration for the post," the Times said in a tweet. "Bank lobbyists and Republicans painted her as a communist because she was born in the Soviet Union."
