Incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is introduced in his Senate confirmation hearing by infamous warhawk Lindsey Graham, who says of Bessent that his nomination is a "home run" for America.
Bessent says that if confirmed, he will use his position to invoke sanctions that strengthen US national security and protect the US Dollar as the world reserve currency.
You guys aren't ready for what's coming.
Haha that can’t be good
I hate all of these people so much.
This is what is coming:
What you highlighted has nothing to do with Bessent. If Lindsey Graham endorses Bitcoin, does that mean Bitcoin is bad?
If you have an issue with Bessent then show a quote from him.
If someone who publicly holds the positions that internet privacy is bad, US citizens don't deserve a lawyer when accused of terrorism, the NSA surveilling all communications is a good thing, and that free speech should be limited – all of which are issues directly touching on your financial privacy – endorses a candidate as a "home run" for secretary of treasury, does that signal to you that this a candidate that would be favorable to protect your constitutional rights? Or would this rather signal to you that this is an individual that may share said positions?
Anyone can assume what they want.
It’s odd to criticize someone by what someone else said or the positions they have. It’s misleading at best.
so your response is to completely avoid answering the question. thanks for the info.
My opinions on Bessent based on assumptions about which values he and Graham may or may not share is irrelevant.
I just pointed out that your tweet was misleading. Everyone knows Graham and just about all Senators are shady. If you’re gonna go after someone judge them on what they have done maybe? Idk I’m not the “journalist” here
Can you link the source of the quote here?
