During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the Treasury Department's budget, Rep. Linda Sanchez challenged Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over his claims regarding tariffs. Despite repeated interruptions from Bessent and jeers from Republican colleagues, Sanchez asserted her right to question him directly. She pointed out inconsistencies in his statements and called attention to the impact of tariffs on consumers, emphasizing the need for respectful dialogue in challenging discussions regarding economic policy.
Unfortunately, you appear to be talking out of both sides of your mouth because you yourself have admitted, after conversations with Walmart, that some tariff costs are going to get passed on to consumers.
In the interest of time, I'm going to ask you to please limit your answers to yes or no questions.
