Related: About this forumWarren Grills Bessent So Hard He Turns Into Blabbering Idiot - Reflect Politics
- Senator Elizabeth Warren grilled Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Donald Trump's economic promises and the current affordability crisis, highlighting rising costs in groceries, utilities, healthcare, and housing.
- Bessent claimed the affordability crisis was caused by the Biden administration, while Warren pointed to Trump's own data showing inflation and rising prices under his presidency.
- Warren challenged Bessent on Trump's false claim that grocery prices were falling in 2025, citing official data showing a 2.4% increase and projections of further increases.
- Warren questioned Bessent on whether Trumps Fed nominee, Kevin Warsh, would be protected from legal action if he didnt lower interest rates as Trump demanded, with Bessent deflecting responsibility to the president.
- Bessent was pressed on his comment blaming Alex Prettis death due to carrying a legally permitted gun, which Van Hollen called a justification of his killing; Bessent refused to retract or express remorse.
- The video concludes with criticism of Bessents evasive responses, labeling him as a clown who avoids accountability and shifts focus from economic issues to personal attacks and distractions.
