The Trump administration delivered a devastating blow to Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely destroyed her during a fiery congressional hearing Wednesday, with the White House calling out her "rude and low IQ" behavior.
The confrontation erupted when Waters and Bessent clashed over whether illegal immigration contributes to America's housing crisis - a debate that quickly exposed the Democrat's inability to handle basic facts about the border disaster she and her party created.
Waters LOSES IT When Confronted With Truth
Things went sideways for Waters when she couldn't counter Bessent's rock-solid arguments about how Biden's open border policies have devastated American communities. Instead of engaging with the facts, the California Democrat resorted to her typical tantrum, demanding the committee chairman "shut him up" after her time expired.
"Mr. Chair, will you let him know that when I ask you for time..." Waters whined, unable to complete a coherent thought as Bessent's expertise left her flailing.
The White House didn't hold back in their response, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt leading the charge against Democrats who continue to put politics over protecting American families. As one social media post noted, "Karoline Leavitt slams Democrats for harmful language that she says increases dangers and challenges faced by ICE and Border Patrol personnel. 'This kind of talk has to stop!'"
Trump Administration Fights Back
This latest meltdown from Waters perfectly illustrates why Americans rejected the radical left's agenda in 2024. While Treasury Secretary Bessent works to implement President Trump's America First economic policies, career politicians like Waters can only offer interruptions and insults.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: Trump's team is delivering results for hardworking Americans, while Democrats like Waters are stuck defending the indefensible failures of the Biden regime.
How long will Democrats continue embarrassing themselves instead of working with President Trump to fix the mess they created?
