On Wednesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) flexed her muscles in a confusing and fiery exchange with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin during a hearing on Capitol Hill.
Secretary Mnuchin, who was testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, apparently had an important scheduled meeting which Waters, the chair of the committee, had prior knowledge of, and was looking to be excused so he could attend. The Democrat, in a bizarre, combative back-and-forth, wanted to dismiss Mnuchin without actually dismissing him — sort of.
