John "Throws Cousin Under The Bus" To Kill Bill Protecting Vendors From Bank Discrimination

On Thursday, Rep. Joel John was accused of "throwing his cousin under the bus" to justify his vote against a bill that would have prevented banks from discriminating against certain vendors.

Rep. Jake Hoffman's bill, HB2656, would prohibit banks from discriminating against people based on certain affiliations or values.

Rep. Jeff Weninger said that unlike Rep. John, he would not "throw his cousin under the bus" in his explanation as to why he supported the bill. Weninger said that he had heard from several vendors who had concerns about discriminatory banking practices.
