Article here. Excerpt:
'A House Ways and Means Committee hearing took an unexpected turn Wednesday when Rep. Linda Sanchez, D.Calif., accused Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent of interrupting her because of her gender—prompting audible groans from the room.
When Bessent attempted to interject, Sanchez quickly cut him off: "Please don’t interrupt me… I know I’m a woman, but please try to limit yourself to answering my questions."
That remark prompted groans from the hearing room, with one attendee audibly reacting, "Oh, come on." Sanchez responded: "No, I’m sorry, but we get talked over all the time, and I don’t want that to happen at this hearing."'
