Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) lashed out Wednesday at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — telling him at one point to “shut up” after a tense exchange over inflation.
Waters suggested that President Trump’s tariffs were inflationary and that immigration enforcement was tanking housing affordability during a House Financial Services Committee hearing about the state of the US economy.
“Will you be the voice of reason in the administration and urge Trump to stop waging a war on American consumers?” the Los Angeles Democrat pleaded. “Yes or no?”
“You seem confused as to the definition of inflation,” Bessent began before Waters interrupted him to re-ask the question.
The two then began talking over each other, with Bessent noting that the Biden administration “let in between 10 and 20 million immigrants” who “took up the housing stock of working Americans.”
“Can you shut him up?” Waters butted in, asking committee chairman French Hill (R-Ark.) to restore order.
“Can you maintain some level of dignity?” Bessent replied.
The confrontation began when Waters thought she could trap Bessent on tariffs. She claimed he had written to investors in 2004 that “tariffs are inflationary,” and asked for a simple yes-or-no answer. When Bessent told Waters she was wrong, she tried to pivot to a New York Times article, which prompted Bessent to mock her source selection.
Waters then accused Bessent of contradicting himself, citing his summer Senate testimony where he said that "there is no inflation. Tariffs are not being passed on to consumers." She demanded another yes-or-no answer on whether tariffs are inflationary.
"According to the San Francisco Federal Reserve, with a hundred and fifty years of data, tariffs do not cause inflation," he responded, attempting to provide substantive evidence. Waters interrupted with "yes or no?" but Bessent was firm. "Tariffs do not cause inflation.”
As Waters continued her monologue about housing costs and tariffs on lumber and steel, Bessent interjected with a crucial fact: "Lumber is at a five-year low, Congresswoman." Waters didn’t want to hear that and demanded to reclaim her time to silence him.
"Then let's just have the facts, ma'am," Bessent shot back, refusing to be quieted.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publicly slammed KTLA for its "dishonest reporting" on an immigration enforcement operation at a Los Angeles church food drive.
They accused the local news station, known as "Los Angeles's Very Own," of omitting an official DHS statement that was provided before the outlet promoted a sympathetic story about a man arrested on church grounds.
The incident, captured on video, shows ICE agents chasing down Carlos Chavez-Guzman, a previously deported Mexican national who fled law enforcement at North Hills United Methodist Church. Children could be heard cheering his attempted escape.
...
(KTLA) posted the story to X. They claimed to have reached out to DHS for a statement. But the department called them out, sharing the post and providing a screenshot of an email statement they sent an hour before KTLA pushed the story on social media.
"This is dishonest reporting by @KTLA," they wrote. "KTLA omitted our official statement, sent to them yesterday, which clearly states that U.S. Border Patrol did NOT target the United Methodist Church or its parking lot in North Hills, California."
...
"Carlos Chavez-Guzman, an illegal alien from Mexico who was previously removed from the United States in 2016, chose to flee from law enforcement—a federal crime—leading officers on a foot chase before his arrest," they revealed. "This operation also resulted in the arrest of two other individuals from Mexico who have violated the immigration laws of our country."
