US Congressman Tom Emmer has demanded that SEC Chairman <a href="https://coingape.com/biden-should-fire-gary-gensler-quote-mark-cuban-and-crypto-roundtable-attendees/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler</a> be fired. Emmer issued the call to action on X (previously Twitter) after Gensler posted a message asking the public to report tips or complaints to the SEC. Emmer accused Gensler of ‘regulation-by-harassment’ and used a hashtag to call for the SEC to terminate its chairman.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 I’d like to report the SEC Chair for regulation-by-harassment. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FireGaryGensler?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#FireGaryGensler</a> <a href="https://t.co/oMyDIEU3o1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/oMyDIEU3o1</a>

Emmer’s criticism comes after other top personalities in the crypto space have also expressed their dissatisfaction with Gensler’s leadership. 
Concurrently, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, has openly called for the President of the United States, Joe Biden, to fire Gensler for not meeting the agency’s core responsibility.

The history of the relationship between the SEC and the crypto market has been rather hostile for the past several years. Several industry stakeholders have claimed that change is needed at the SEC with regard to leadership.&nbsp;
This sentiment was captured during a recent crypto roundtable that was organized by Congressman Ro Khanna where participants including the Ripple CEO <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-triggers-fire-gensler-debate-on-x/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brad Garlinghouse</a> and the CEO of Galaxy digital Mike novogratz complained about the actions of the SEC.
Speaking at the roundtable, Cuban restated his position, claiming that Gensler’s attitude to regulation hampers the further development of the crypto industry. He said that due to the absence of definite rules, the crypto firms are unable to conduct their business legally.

There are various complaints about Gensler who has been criticized and others have urged to relieve him from the post, including those on Capitol Hill. Emmer’s public criticism is in line with the larger trend within the crypto community and some politicians who argue that Gensler’s approach is harmful to the industry.
Cuban’s criticism of <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/gary-gensler/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gensler</a> could be traced back to an ongoing feud with the SEC and he said that Gensler’s exit is vital for the development of the crypto market. His remarks during the roundtable are in sync with the sentiments that have been expressed within the industry concerning the SEC.
The criticism of Gensler is politically significant as it may affect the chances of President Biden to be re-elected for the second term. Cuban and other industry leaders have stated that the administration’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies could threaten its popularity among voters. 
During the roundtable, the participants also debated how Gensler’s leadership could affect the upcoming election, some thinking that a shift at the SEC would be beneficial for the Biden administration politically.
