Trump's sassy Treasury Secretary calls on low-IQ Maxine Waters to show a little dignity, and her response is priceless

Rep Maxine Waters, 87 years old, has the secretary of the Treasury in front of her for 5 minutes to ask questions and instead she decided to read a pre-written speech with 2 yes/no questions and she sang “Reclaiming my time” twice then also asked Scott Bessent to shut up when he… pic.twitter.com/WokOyqE5CC

Congressional hearings are the most useless piece of political theatre that We The People sit through next to the State of the Union Address. They're good for fundraising on the politicians' end and cheap content on our end. As far as having any tangible value to the American people? Meh. That said, if you're going to engage in the theatre, send the gay Republican! Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat before low-IQ octogenarian Maxine Waters, and his performance was fabulous.
At issue were the Trump tariffs. Waters wanted Bessent to respond to her using only specific words that she selected for him. Bessent's response couldn't have been more perfecter if he had a dry martini in his hand.
WATERS: Will you be the voice of reason in this administration? Yes or no. You don’t have to explain.
BESSENT: A study from Wharton University has shown…
WATERS: RHEEEEEEE! RHEEEEEEEE!
BESSENT: Ten to twenty million immigrants...
WATERS: RHEEEEEEE! Can you shut him up?
BESSENT: And can you maintain some level of dignity?
It wasn't just Mad Maxine. Rep. Stephen Lynch had a meltdown, too.
LYNCH: If we are going to have a serious hearing, he needs to answer the way I want him to.
BESSENT: "Well, the questions have to be serious."
LYNCH: YARGLE BLARGLE
BESSENT: "Could you speak a little louder? I can't hear you..."
If Scott Bessent is going to insist on being this sassy, we’re gonna need more Buddy Cole reaction .gifs at our disposal.

This one was good too.
Bessent: “President Trump has secured the border. He was elected on a mandate and he is enforcing that.”
Democrat Rep. Sylvia Garcia: “Well, I disagree with you.”
Bessent: “You disagree that he was elected?” pic.twitter.com/WqTYwpCAj6

At this point, you can break Trump's cabinet officials into two groups. There are people working for the Trump Admin focused on carrying out Trump's agenda on behalf of the American people. Then there are people focused on proximity to power and media, and saying what they think Trump wants to hear on TV and social media.
Bessent is up there in the former group with Marco Rubio, RFK Jr, and Tom Homan.
