Scott Bessent left Democrats fuming on Capitol Hill on Wednesday as he refused to bend to their furious yelling, including requests for him to 'shut up' and repeated direct attacks on his work.
Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary went toe to toe with California Democrat Maxine Waters over the President's tariffs at a House Financial Services Committee hearing.
Waters, in an astonishing outburst as Bessent attempted to answer her, asked the committee chair: 'Can you shut him up?'
Bessent fired back a withering response: 'Can you maintain some level of dignity?'
Congressman Greg Meeks, another Democrat on the committee, pressed Bessent on the President's business dealings, including a $500 million stake in Trump's cryptocurrency firm that was sold to a member of the Emirati royal family.
When Bessent pushed back by asking Meeks about his own trips to Venezuela, the Congressman yelled at him: 'Stop covering for the President.
'Don't be a flunky. Work for the American people. Work for the American people. Don't be a cover-up for a mob.'
Bessent later mocked a question from Representative Stephen Lynch, D-Mass, about shuttered investigations into cryptocurrency firms. Lynch expressed frustration with Bessent's interruptions, saying, 'Mister Chairman, the answers have to be responsive if we are going to have a serious hearing.'

“ Can you maintain some level of dignity?”
…Bravo!!
Are there any negro members of congress who don’t embarrass themselves?
I’m sure there are. Just can’t think of any.
Touche’!
Good to see a conservative ready for a rhetorical Street Fight with those mouthy bullies.
Waters has no respect for any white person or any Trump supporter. She has shown that prejudice many times.
That encourages people watching her to act the same way.
Which leads to assaults and murders.
The reverse of the other form of racism which was true before the Civil Rights Act.
Waters is an example, in my opinion, of why God acted as he did in the time of Noah.
Genesis 6:6
“And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”
I’m a total Scott Bessent fan girl. 😉
Maxine Moore Waters (née Carr; born August 15, 1938) is an American POS serving as the U.S. representative for California’s 43rd congressional district since 1991.
88 in August. The old POS will only last a few more years.
Bkmk
And what will replace Marxine when she’s gone? Someone even worse?
They would have asked this prior to 1964 and LBJ- “ them in Congress? Are you serious?”
“Mister Chairman, the answers have to be responsive if we are going to have a serious hearing.”
Yeah, that’s what they were aiming for, a serious hearing.
We have long waited for somebody to treat these Democrats with utter contempt for their constant waste of tax payer money for their showboating.
Depends on if we get rid of the Crackifornia vote fraud....
Theater kids.
That's a lot to ask of a woman wearing a $20 wig, Scott.
Bessent is a class act. His demeanor is always as though he’s attending a high society dinner.
43rd congriftional district in Crackifornia; Looks like it’s in LA, where all the parking lots vote.

“That’s a lot to ask of a woman wearing a $20 wig, Scott.”
Officer, I would like to report a murder.
What a bitch.
