During a heated House Ways and Means Committee hearing, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) melted down after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent corrected her on Trump’s soaring economy. Rudely lecturing Bessent, she whined, “Excuse me. Let me get something straight… we don’t interrupt individuals.”
For context, the House Ways and Means Committee was holding a hearing where Democrats vainly tried to paint Trump’s economy as failing, and Republicans pointed to soaring jobs numbers and a strong market to support their case.
The incident started when Bessent corrected Plaskett on a chart that tracked the cost of living with misleading data. Politeely stepping in, Bessebnt said, “Ma’am, that’s incorrect,” which prompted a massive outburst from the disrespectful Democrat.
Melting down in epic fashion, Plaskett said, “Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you first here. I’ve seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone’s house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don’t interrupt individuals. And you’re not going to interrupt my time,”
Continuing her disrespectful rant, she raved, “I’m going to give you time to respond. You may want to jot down some notes about things you don’t agree with me on so you can respond to them at that time. But while I’m speaking, as the person holding this time, you will refrain from speaking, sir, until I’m done, until I’m done, then I will give you time to speak, OK?”
Hilariously responding to the unhinged attack from the Democrat, Bessent quipped, “I look forward to facts.” Snarling back, Plaskett responded with a poorly worded retort. She snapped, “Thank you. I’ll look forward to your response whether they’re factual or incorrect either (sic).”
Later in the same hearing, Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX) seized the opportunity to fire back at the disrespectful delegate. He asked, “Where did [Plaskett] go wrong in her statement?” Seizing the opportunity, Bessent unloaded on the Democrat.

The Secretary of the Treasury demolished the woke Democrat with hard data, saying, “Well, first of all, I would fire the staffer who did that chart, because it stopped in February 2025, and prices are down substantially since then. But that’s an inconvenient truth.”
Concluding his epic rebuke, Bessent continued, “Secondly, the S&P, if the congresswoman would care to check Bloomberg. The stock market is judged by the S&P, which is the most widely held index by American 401 (k) s, and is up on the year. Up.”
Continuing her disgraceful actions, Stacey Plaskett was sent into a profanity-filled freakout by a conservative on social media. The user joked, “Do all these twats have their PMS cycle synced? Someone needs to ship a case of Midol to the Capitol this afternoon.”

Exploding, the unhinged Democrat said, “Excuse you!! This twat, [c–t], pum pum whatever you want to call it represents an organ that gives LIFE and is resilient [sic] so thanks for the compliment. I can take one interruption but Bessent was out of control. And…. I know I look good for my age but baby I’m post menopausal and it still works.”
