Harridan, and all-around miserable human being known as, Maxine Waters, tried her patented Insane-Old-Lady-Shouts-At-Clouds schtick on the unflappable Scott Bessent. It went as well as expected.
California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters on Wednesday got into a heated exchange with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his testimony on inflation and the American economy, even telling him at one point to “shut up.”
Scott doesn’t get mad, he just shoots straight from the hip and scores …
And while many media outlets had headlines that declare it a flare of tempers between the two, watching the videos demonstrates that Bessent never lost his as he broke the broom Maxine rode in on over his knee. She was reduced to babbling to the chair that Bessent had somehow “taken up” her time.
Maxine has long thought herself as one of the the Sainted Untouchables in Congress. She represents the current 43rd district – a collection of low-income communities including Watts, Inglewood, and Compton. You won’t catch her living there. Maxine moved into a multi-million dollar mansion in the tony and historic Hancock Park area of Los Angeles in 2004. Mean Queen Bee holds court from there, venturing into her serfs’ territory now and then to rouse the rabble.
