Mnuchin, Maxine Waters get into fiery exchange over length of hearing
The Hill ^ | 4/09/19 | MICHAEL BURKE

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, engaged in a fiery exchange Tuesday with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the length of his testimony before the committee.

The exchange grew heated as Mnuchin requested to leave the hearing because of a meeting he said he had scheduled with a foreign leader.

After Waters told Mnuchin that he was free to leave, Mnuchin asked her to dismiss the hearing, saying that she was supposed to "take the gavel and bang it.”

“Please do not instruct me as to how I am to conduct this committee," Waters responded.

..."take the gavel and bang it.”

No wonder Mad Maxine got ticked. I'm pretty sure that's how she removes that wig.

Haha. That's one way to say it.

Git 'er, Mnuchin.

There's a James Brown song in there somewhere.

He did say “gravel” not gavel. Se is a gravelly sort. Perhaps that’s why.

“take the gavel and bang it.”

If he were as rude and crude as most rats 🐀 are, he would have told her to do something else with that gavel.

They’re actually pretty cool as managers of departments i have worked in.

A lot more down to earth and less moody than the white women i have worked for.

Maxine ain’t all there and also political idiocy is on display. And political pettiness.

I didn’t see that in the office.

It was 20 years ago though.

Times may have changed.

Sounded like an offer to stay.

Well, somebody needs to.

Actually he said “Take the gravel”.

Waters is an idiot, but Mnuchin is an insufferable dork.

Not only was it an offer to stay, but one with an empty threat, saying he’d refuse to return to her committee in the future if she asked him to stay.

Which is why he got flustered into trying to twist the exchange and ended up mansplaining to her.

Waters has so much adrenaline pumping through her dusty veins due to her being the Sr ranking member of this committee.

She thinks that she is carrying Thor's hammer, and is so drunk with Lokiness that she is going to be more insufferable than she has ever been.

You ever notice that when she purses her lips, it looks like an anus under her nose? Just a personal observation.
