Democrat Congressman Vicente Gonzalez Closes Bank of China Account

After getting exposed by Breitbart News for having an account with the Bank of China, Texas Democrat Vincente Gonzalez has closed his controversial foreign account.

The democrat congressman’s recent financial disclosure forms list holdings worth more than $100,000 with the Bank of China, which is state-owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

The state-run enterprise also pledges it’s full allegiance to Chinese head of state Xi Jinping. Records from 2017, 2018 and 2019 show Gonzalez' bank account held between 100,000 and 250,000 dollars and earned between 2,500 and 5,000 dollars in interest for each of the three years.

Monica De LA Cruz, a potential challenger to Gonzalez, tweeted the following below:

Monica De La Cruz-Hernandez’s tweet reads, “Gonzalez’s six-figure account with the Bank of China is shocking & disturbing. A US Rep should NEVER have such close financial ties to the state bank of our country’s greatest adversary. AMERICA FIRST NOT CHINA!!!!”

Vincente Gonzalez closed his account following Breitbart News’ bombshell reporting. He has rejected taking any interviews on the matter.

Do you believe our elected officials should have bank accounts associated with the Communist Party of China? Should Vincente Gonzalez resign? Comment your thoughts below?
