'Can You Maintain Some Dignity?': Scott Bessent Fires Back At Rep Waters 'Shut Up' Meltdown

Описание: A tense exchange erupted on Capitol Hill as Rep. Maxine Waters clashed sharply with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. The confrontation centered on President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, particularly the impact of tariffs on inflation and American consumers. Waters, the committee’s ranking Democrat, repeatedly pressed Bessent for direct yes-or-no answers, accusing him of dodging the consequences of the administration’s trade policies. At one heated moment, Waters asked if someone could “shut him up”. The hearing comes at a pivotal time, with the Trump administration awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on whether certain trade duties imposed in 2025 exceeded presidential authority.
