Former U.S. House candidate and current American Greatness contributor Pete D’Abrosca found out on Tuesday that Wells Fargo had cancelled his savings account “with no explanation.” The news comes immediately after Wells Fargo closed the account of America First activist Lauren Witzke, leaving her stranded out-of-state with no money.

D’Abrosca first reported the news on Twitter, writing “@WellsFargo just closed my accounts with no explanation. I’m sure it has *nothing* to do with my political opinions.”

Speaking to National File about the situation, D’Abrosca stated, “Clearly there’s been some kind of conspiracy within Wells Fargo to ban prominent right wingers from using their banking services. This is yet another reminder that major monopolies in both banking and tech are not operating within a purely free market capitalistic system. They must be broken up, and their CEOs and executive level employees and board members jailed until we can figure out how to stop discrimination from “private” companies against the political right.”

“As for Wells Fargo specifically, they’ve always had a garbage product and I feel like my money will be safer and put to better use in a local credit union or regional bank,” D’Abrosca added.

The conservative commentator told National File that Wells Fargo had refused to cut him a check in person containing the balance of his account, telling him that a check was already in the mail. When D’Abrosca asked if they could cancel the check and write him a new one, the bank refused, citing the fact that his account was already closed.

“I have three accounts with Wells Fargo, a personal checking, a business checking, and a savings account,” D’Abrosca noted. “The personal savings account is the only account that they banned, so I have two other accounts, I can use my debit card right now. It seems like somebody’s just messing with us. It’s almost as if there’s some cheap diversity moron, or maybe somebody on a rung lower, who has the power and has a list and who is like, ‘Delete, delete, delete.'”

D’Abrosca told National File that he is currently in contact with his attorney, and plans to pursue any available legal action that can be taken.

Why would anyone bank with WellsFargo after they opened credit cards, accounts and loans in their customers names fraudulently?

I banked with them because they bought my condo mortgage and my car note and then offered me like $350 just to open a checking account with direct deposit a few years back.

I bank with them only because I travel a lot for work and they have a ton of branches if I ever need to hit an ATM or if I want to deposit cash.

That being said I have some minor complaints about them.

I believe it, the past two weeks I keep getting my payments denied on Amazon. My cards are good and not expired. My credit score is 710. I have money in my account by the thousands.

But regardless what payment I use I keep getting denied, even my bank says they're not denying my payment it's on Amazon.

The useful idiots don't realize that they want to give power to people that will stomp out their political rivals without thinking they wouldn't be free from this happening to them.

I used them for awhile. I deposited a check at the ATM one time and the touch screen malfunctioned and deposited the money into the wrong account. Money was tight for me then and I had a check bounce because of it. I went into the branch to straighten it out and they refused to make it right. So instead, I withdrew all of my money and closed my accounts right then. They're a shitty bank that won't hesitate to frick their customers.

I've been with them since before, when I had a Norwest account and WF took over

I've never had any issues till about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and today was the final straw with one of my accounts

I will be closing all my accounts with them in the coming weeks, and now reading this article will make it so much more justified

Could it be because of identity theft, and your account was hacked?

Terrible bank

Hope none of you have a mortgage through there and end up having to file an insurance claim on your home.

They're notorious for holding insurance payment checks for months while your home sits in disrepair.
