Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s passionate speeches can win over almost anyone — including bankers, it seems. To be fair, the man who applauded the Massachusetts senator’s speech at a Senate Banking Committee hearing Thursday is the CEO of a community bank and chairman of the Independent Community Bankers of America, so he’s not your typical “bankster.”

Watch as Warren points out that big banks received absurdly large subsidies and are exempt from fraud prosecution, while small banks are held to a completely different standard.
