i'm actually a little taken aback, this man's condescension is off the charts

not only did Bessent go straight to 'wow so articulate' when Sewell asked a question, when she responded like 'uh don't assume so little of my & my constituency's intelligence' he said she should thank him for the praise?

SEWELL: The last question that I was asked to ask you is when will hit the debt ceiling?

BESSENT: I want to congratulate you. You have a very sophisticated constituency to ask questions like this


SEWELL: With all due respect, just because you're poor doesn't mean you're ignorant
