Elizabeth Warren Eviscerates Scott Bessent: 'I Don't Know If You Can't Hear Me?'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren refused to let Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lie about the state of the US economy and pounded him into the ground with the efficiency of a nail gun in plywood as he tried to do so.
The Senator from Massachusetts started her questioning by asking Bessent if he believed Trump when he claimed the affordability crisis was a hoax, a scam, and a con job.
"Is affordability a hoax, a scam, or a con job?"
Bessent tried to gaslight the senator by rewriting Trump's meaning and claiming the media should blame President Biden for Trump's economic problems.
That is a lie since Trump continually claims the US economy is the best in our history, and that's why he called "affordability" concerns a hoax.
When Warren called out Trump's lies about grocery prices going down, Bessent, like an idiot, claimed some items have dropped in price.
WARREN: Last week, President Trump said, quote, we have the groceries going down. Did grocery prices drop in 2025?
BESSENT: Numerous prices have.
WARREN: Did grocery prices drop in 2025?
Numerous grocery prices have gone down.
WARREN: I'm sorry. I don't know if you can't hear me. Did grocery prices drop in 2025?
Sen. Warren then went over statistics issued by the Trump administration.
