The Democrats' mask completely slipped during Wednesday's House Financial Services Committee hearing when Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) went absolutely ballistic on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, proving once again that the radical left can't handle the America First agenda.

In a shocking display of unhinged behavior, Meeks screamed at Bessent for over a minute straight, yelling "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!" while the Treasury Secretary attempted to professionally answer his questions.

Social media immediately lit up with reactions to Meeks' embarrassing meltdown. "Democratic New York Rep. Gregory Meeks screamed at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday for over a minute while he attempted to answer his question," posted @lastgaycons, capturing the absurdity of the moment.

The heated exchange reportedly centered around Meeks confronting Bessent over President Trump's economic agenda and tariff policies - you know, the same policies that are already putting America first and bringing jobs back to our shores. But apparently Democrats would rather throw tantrums than acknowledge the success of Trump's proven economic formula.

Democrat Desperation on Full Display

What we witnessed wasn't legitimate oversight - it was pure political theater from a desperate Democrat party that can't stand seeing Trump's team successfully implement the mandate given to them by the American people. As one social media user noted, "Chairman enforces decorum amid sharp Bessent exchanges," highlighting how out of line Meeks' behavior truly was.

Secretary Bessent, to his credit, maintained his composure throughout the Democrat's unhinged rant, demonstrating the professionalism and dignity that defines the Trump administration's approach to governance.

This shameful display raises a critical question: Is this really how Democrats think they should be conducting the people's business? While Trump's team is busy Making America Great Again, the radical left is literally screaming at the professionals trying to fix the economic mess left behind by the Biden regime.

Patriots, this is exactly why we voted for Trump - to have adults in charge who won't be intimidated by Democrat theatrics.

What specific policies were they even arguing about? I'd like to know what triggered this outburst from the Democrat.

This is EXACTLY why we voted them out! The Democrats have completely lost their minds and can't handle being in the minority. Secretary Bessent is trying to do his job and they're having meltdowns like toddlers.

Couldn't agree more! They act like children when they don't get their way.

I watched some of this live and couldn't believe the disrespect. My grandfather served in Congress for 12 years and he's rolling over in his grave seeing how these hearings have devolved into screaming matches instead of actual oversight.

Unhinged is right! This reminds me of how they treated Trump's nominees - zero decorum or respect for the process.

Same playbook every time. They can't debate on merit so they resort to theatrics.

Good for Bessent staying professional through that circus act.
