Eric Hovde Really Hates The Elderly

Mail order candidate and California banker Eric Hovde really doesn't like the elderly. He already said that people in nursing homes are at death's door and are in no condition to vote.

But now, it's being reported that Hovde's bank is being sued for elder abuse, neglect and wrongful death regarding a nursing home his bank owns:

In 2021, Sunwest Bank seized the property of a 68-bed assisted living facility in Claremont, Calif., after its owners failed to repay a $6 million loan. The next year, Betty Nottoli, a 94-year-old woman with dementia, moved into the renamed Claremont Hacienda, then owned in part by a newly created subsidiary of Sunwest.

According to a lawsuit filed by her daughter, Patricia Chiuppi, Ms. Nottoli had a series of falls that Ms. Chiuppi says were caused by neglect. Court documents assert that the staff of the facility failed to install pull cords, pendants, bed rails or a bed alarm even after a fall in March. Then, on the night of April 4, 2022, another fall broke Ms. Nottoli’s hip, “which ultimately led to her death on June 19, 2022,” court documents say.
