Katie Porter Pummels Mnuchin At Hearing After He Calls Her Question 'Ridiculous'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin got into a heated exchange over COVID-19 relief funding during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Porter was questioning Mnuchin’s plan to claw back $455 billion in unspent stimulus package funding to the Treasury’s general fund. The move would make it harder for his successor to access the money.

Reading aloud a section from the stimulus measure, known as the CARES Act, Porter noted that remaining funds can be transferred back to the Treasury no sooner than Jan. 1, 2026.

“Secretary Mnuchin, is it currently the year 2026? Yes or no,” Porter asked.

Mnuchin did not answer the question and accused her of “putting words in my mouth that are not correct.”

I had to go to YouTube to find the video of the exchange between Katie Porter and Mnuchin. She is not one to be trifled with and I've seen it from her multiple times.

8. I can't stand this sexist bastard. Every time he's questioned by a woman, he has the same attitude

As if its beneath him to sit there and answer to members of congress. Typical entitled white male trash.
