🔥 "FRONT AND CENTER": Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Leaves Senator Warren Speechless 🏛️⚖️In a high-stakes exchange during today's Senate hearing, February 5, 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent directly confronted Senator Elizabeth Warren over the origins of the national affordability crisis.When Senator Warren attempted to frame President Trump’s past comments as calling the affordability crisis a "hoax," Bessent fired back: "Senator, it may be a bit nuanced for you, but what President Trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis was generated by this administration".Bessent stated clearly that the true "hoax" is the media's attempt to deflect blame from the previous administration, telling Warren, "It was you and President Biden who destroyed the buying power of the American people".Bessent reiterated that while the crisis is real, the blame lies with the policies Warren championed: "You were front and center in it".From exchange:Scott Bessent: Senator, it may be a bit nuanced for you, but what President Trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis was generated by this administration, when it was you and President Biden who destroyed the buying power of the American people. So there is an affordability crisis — and you were front and center in it.Senator Warren: So let me make sure that I understand. Donald Trump is not saying that affordability, what's happening to families right now, is a hoax?Scott Bessent: He is saying that trying to lay the blame at this administration rather than the Biden-Warren economy is a hoax.
