Maria Bartiromo just asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent a deceptively simple question — and the answer completely exposed Democrats on Capitol Hill.
She asked whether Democrats even bothered to question him about economic growth during his latest Senate hearing.
He said don’t want to talk about growth at all...because they can’t. Instead, they just want to “hoot and holler.”
BESSENT: “Maria, they can’t compete on economic growth because the president’s plan is working, the Trump economy is delivering for the American people.”
He then rattled off the numbers Democrats would rather ignore.
“We have strong growth and inflation is, in fact, coming down. For the past three months, inflation is 2.1%, close to the federal reserve’s target, and a measure called true-flation, which is daily observations now is below 1%.”
That’s when he twisted the knife.
“So inflation down, strong growth, stocks at a record high, and the lowest crime rate in over 100 years.”
“Democrats don’t want to talk about that, they want to hoot and holler.”
