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.'

LOVE him!
He has enough FU money that he can afford to make fools of them and smirk while he’s doing it.

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry,
Mad Maxine is a racist bigot with a horrible wig hat stolen from a male gorilla.
No, Gregory Meeks, the idiot from New Yawk embarrasses all of them. He’s a diehard knuckledragger.
Why does the movie “Gorillas in the Mist” always come to mind when her picture is shown? She can’t help but be nasty..imagine what she sees when she looks in the mirror!!
Meeks and Maxine’s constant interruptions of Bessent, crying out “Answer the question!” over and over when he was trying to answer the question, and repeatedly crying out “Shut up!” when he wasn’t really saying much of anything were ridiculously childish, rude and stupid beyond words. Neither of them belong anywhere where civilized people gather.
“”And what will replace Marxine when she’s gone? Someone even worse?””
Look what GA got when Cynthia McKinney was out!!! I would have preferred she stay and Hank Johnson had been sent to Guam to see if it really was going to tip over!!!
Ditto. I wish I could give them both a swift kick in the arse. they both desperately need it.
Don’t forget
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (November 29, 1908 – April 4, 1972)[1] was an American Baptist pastor and politician who represented the Harlem neighborhood of New York City in the United States House of Representatives from 1945 until 1971.

Utter contempt is all they have earned!
LOL!

I saw you using an obsolete, antiquated term which is no longer in use in our language unless we are using it in historical context such as referring to a baseball league which consisted teams of black players before Jackie Robinson started to play major league baseball for the Dodgers in 1947.
True that.
Can you imagine her in hell?
Jacquerie has the right era, anyway - circa 1947.
