The Trump administration delivered a brutal smackdown to Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters after the California radical had a complete meltdown during a congressional hearing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday.
Waters, who has made a career out of unhinged rants and race-baiting, couldn't handle the truth when Bessent schooled her on how illegal immigration is devastating America's housing market. When the facts became too uncomfortable for Mad Maxine, she did what Democrats always do – she tried to shut down the debate.
"Mr. Chair, will you let him know that when I ask you for time... can you shut him up?" Waters whined to the House Financial Services Committee chairman, proving once again that Democrats can't win on substance so they resort to censorship.
The White House wasn't having any of Waters' theatrics. In a statement that had conservatives cheering, administration officials slammed the longtime Trump antagonist as "rude and low IQ" – a perfect description of someone who has spent decades enriching herself while her own district crumbles.
"Representative Waters' behavior was disgraceful and unbecoming of someone in Congress. Secretary Bessent was simply stating facts about the border crisis that Democrats refuse to acknowledge."
This is exactly the kind of backbone we've been missing! While the previous administration rolled over for radical Democrats, President Trump's team fights back against these swamp creatures who put illegal aliens before American families.
Secretary Bessent was absolutely right to connect the dots between Biden's border disaster and the housing crisis crushing working Americans. When millions of illegal immigrants flood into the country, they don't just disappear – they need housing, driving up costs for everyone else.
But Waters can't handle these basic facts because they destroy the left's open borders narrative. So instead of engaging in honest debate, she throws a tantrum and demands censorship. It's the same playbook Democrats have used for years.
Patriots across America are celebrating this White House's refusal to be bullied by establishment hacks like Maxine Waters. After years of being told to sit down and shut up, it's refreshing to see an administration that fights back against the radical left's attacks on common sense.
How long will Democrats continue to prioritize illegal immigrants over the American people who are struggling to afford housing?
