Scott Bessent shuts down CNN’s Dana Bash, exposing a glaring flaw with her sources.

BASH: “The Yale Budget Lab says the richest Americans will see their income rise by nearly 2%... You argue that the benefits will really be aimed at the middle class. How does that square?”

BESSENT: “Well, first, let’s have a look at the Yale Budget Lab, because I was looking at their findings, and this week I actually went on their website. They’re ALL ex-Biden officials, so I think we can discount EVERYTHING they say. I’d encourage all your viewers to look at the composition of both the board and the staff.”

Classic Bessent—soft voice, savage takedown.
