Attorney General Jason Miyares has demanded that Bank of America cease its practice of debanking conservatives.
In a letter joined by a 15-state coalition, Attorney General Miyares called out the bank for discrimination against customers based on their political and religious views. He stated, “Bank of America’s blatant discrimination against account holders whose political and religious ideologies don’t align with its own is appalling and un-American. As Attorney General, I will protect the constitutional liberties of all Virginians.”
The letter highlighted instances where Bank of America had denied services to specific groups for political and religious reasons, such as gun manufacturers, fossil fuel producers, and Christian ministry groups. It also pointed out the bank’s cooperation with law enforcement in profiling conservative and religious Americans as potential domestic terrorists.
