CRUSHING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent DESTROYS Mad Maxine Waters, White House Calls Her 'Rude and Low IQ'

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely demolished California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters during a heated congressional hearing Wednesday, delivering such a devastating takedown that the White House felt compelled to weigh in and slam the notorious congresswoman as "rude and low IQ."

The fireworks erupted when Waters and Bessent clashed over whether illegal immigration was driving America's housing crisis - a debate that quickly exposed Waters' complete inability to handle basic facts and logic from Trump's brilliant Treasury Secretary.

When Bessent started laying out the undeniable economic reality that millions of illegal aliens flooding into our communities drives up housing demand and prices, Waters couldn't handle the truth. Like a typical unhinged leftist, she desperately tried to shut down the debate by screaming at the committee chairman to "shut him up" after her time expired.

"Mr. Chair, will you let him know that when I ask you for time ... can you shut him up?" Waters frantically demanded, proving once again that Democrats have zero substantive arguments.

But Bessent wasn't having it. The Trump administration official calmly continued dismantling Waters' ridiculous position with actual facts and data - something Democrats absolutely cannot stand.

The White House quickly responded to Waters' embarrassing meltdown, with officials describing her behavior as "rude and low IQ" - a perfect summary of Mad Maxine's entire congressional career.

Another Win for Team Trump

This latest episode perfectly illustrates why President Trump's cabinet picks are so effective. While Democrats like Waters resort to childish tantrums and censorship tactics, Trump's team comes armed with facts, logic, and the courage to speak truth to power.

Secretary Bessent's masterful performance shows exactly why the Trump-Vance administration is already delivering results for hardworking Americans who are sick of being gaslit about the immigration crisis destroying their communities.

When will Democrats finally admit that their open borders agenda is an unmitigated disaster for American families? Based on Waters' pathetic performance, don't hold your breath, Patriots.

As someone who's dealt with the financial regulations Waters has pushed, I can tell you they've hurt small businesses tremendously. Glad Bessent understands real economics.

Does anyone have the full video of this exchange? I want to see Waters get schooled on basic economics by someone who actually understands finance.

Bessent's background speaks for itself - hedge fund success, real world experience. Waters just grandstands for cameras. The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Exactly! There's a huge difference between actual financial expertise and political theater.

Waters has been in Congress since 1991 and her district is still a mess. What does that tell you about her effectiveness?
