Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

President Joe Biden appears more determined than ever to make gun manufacturers vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits in the hopes of bankrupting the firearms industry, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

On July 4th —a day when the president should have been leading the nation in celebrating its 247th anniversary—Biden was instead capitalizing on violent crimes over the holiday weekend in an effort to push his gun prohibition agenda. In a statement from the White House, Biden declared, “It is within our power to once again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to require safe storage of guns, to end gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and to enact universal background checks.”

He is once again trying to penalize tens of millions of law-abiding citizens and devastate an industry because he is incapable of doing anything meaningful about violent crime. Biden is trying to deflect public attention away from his policy failures, and his son’s legal problems with drugs and a serious gun law violation, by blaming gunmakers and honest gun owners for crimes they did not commit.

Biden’s proposals amount to smoke and mirrors, and deflection away from his, and his party’s, monumental failures to prevent crime and hold criminals responsible. He would have us believe that banning the most popular rifle in America, locking up guns, and allowing expensive, but meritless, legal actions to devastate gun companies financially is the solution to America’s violent crime problems.

He doesn’t dare admit that the thousands of laws already on the books—pushed through Congress and state legislatures by members of his own party—have failed miserably. He is continuing to scapegoat gunmakers and gun owners, and in the process, he and his handlers are trying to destroy Second Amendment rights, which have been the backbone of liberty in this country for more than two centuries. The only thing he has accomplished is fueling more gun sales with his gun ban rhetoric.

The thing Biden and his cronies have underestimated, and which makes them furious, is the willingness of American gun owners to fight back. Rest assured, CCRKBA will not stand idly by while this administration tramples on the Constitution.

    FJB, the constitution shows he cannot, confiscate guns or ban free speech,…. and if he does that should warrant IMMEDIATE removal and Incarceration, Replacement and A jury trial to Keep him in JAIL, Until the end of his days, and the same with his co-conspirator kamala.

      And every Anti2Aer elected to office down to Dog Catcher.
      Violation of the Oath to Support, Protect and Defend the Constitution needs to be a Treasonous Offense, and Death by Hanging, the Punishment.

      What scares me is that Gavin Newsom is angling for the White House. He is Pelosi’s nephew and Biden-on-steroids. He is a smooth talker and much cleverer than whoever is handling Biden. He would be full pisdyetz for the country.

    Bemused Berserker

    Any Politician, who so egregiously violates the Constitution and breaks their Oath to support, protect and defend the Constitution, by word or deed, should immediately be removed from Office. Not Impeached, REMOVED, by whatever means necessary.

    Garyl

    All gun laws should be abolished since the democrats will not abide by the laws tey do have and lock up hunter biden for 10 years.

    Asked numerous times – WHY does slow joe have such deep seated hatred for guns and their owners. There must have been something in his past that caused it but so far no one has been able to figure out what it is.

      kate

      of course we know what it is. the only way they can attain their totalitarian end game is to strip our ability to fight back.

        GomeznSA

        Okay – what specifically happened to him? No one has that degree of hatred unless something actually caused it.
        Agreed about them needing to disarm us but that doesn’t answer the question as to why he is so hateful toward guns and their owners.

    Jawad

    That sorry old sack of feces is not determined: he is HELL-BENT on reducing our Republic to a dictatorship catering to a lunatic fringe freak show.

    Patsy Ann Lopez De Victoria

    He better keep his craziness up in Washington and other Democrat states.
