Tempers erupted on Capitol Hill as Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters confronted U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a fiery House Financial Services Committee hearing on inflation and the state of the U.S. economy. Waters blasted Bessent over the Trump administration’s economic policies — specifically tariffs and immigration’s effect on housing affordability — demanding he urge President Trump to change course. When Bessent pushed back, Waters snapped: “Can you shut up?”, drawing gasps and highlighting deep partisan tensions over inflation and economic strategy. #MaxineWaters #ScottBessent #InflationHearing #CanYouShutUp #WatersVsBessent #HouseFinancialServices #USPolitics #InflationDebate #TrumpEconomy #TariffsAndInflation #HousingAffordability #PoliticalClash #USNews #BreakingNews #CongressHearing
