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.

If you blinked this yesterday, you missed a political earthquake. The left is melting down, and the old guard is crying foul — but it’s not working.

OBAMA WHINES WHILE KIMMEL BURNS

Former President Barack Obama is furious. Not about anything that affects the average American, but because Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended.

After Kimmel was yanked off air for spreading disinformation about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Obama accused the current administration of “cancel culture” — apparently forgetting which party popularized the term and wielded it like a cudgel for years.

“This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent,” Obama posted on X, as if late-night comedy was the battleground of liberty.

The meltdown comes after Kimmel implied Kirk’s assassin was part of the ‘MAGA gang’, despite mounting evidence that 22-year-old shooter Tyler Robinson was a left-wing radical in a relationship with a transgender partner who ‘hates conservatives and Christians.’

Lying about a crime is a violation of the broadcast license issued by the FCC issues.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr called Kimmel’s monologue “truly sick,” warning of potential broadcast license consequences. ABC suspended the show indefinitely. Kimmel refused to apologize.

Trump didn’t hesitate to take a victory lap, writing, “Great News for America: The ratings-challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED… He has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.”

Trump Jr. summarized a growing sentiment among the political right: “It’s not cancel culture. It’s consequence culture.”

TLAIB VS. DONALDS: FASCIST RHETORIC IGNITES ON CAPITOL HILL

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Rep. Rashida Tlaib lit another match during a hearing on D.C. crime.

Referring to a “fascist takeover” in America, Tlaib insisted Republicans shouldn’t be “offended.”

“…Nobody over there should take anything we say so personally as if we’re attacking them. No, we’re attacking a process. We’re not attacking people here. And I think it’s really important we need to stand up against this fascist takeover,” Tlaib said. “That’s not a bad word. It’s a fact.”

But Rep. Byron Donalds, who is black, had heard enough — and exploded after he was denied a yield request, “Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you, Ms. Tlaib?… It’s radical. It’s insane. And it’s way out of line.”

Tlaib shrieked at him.

The shouting match captured the growing outrage over Democrats’ rhetoric — especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Some on the left are still throwing around Nazi comparisons while downplaying political violence on their own side.

Even former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine had enough: “The party should not call Trump Hitler… It’s bad politics. And it’s just not true.”

11 DEMOCRATS ARRESTED AFTER ICE SHOWDOWN IN NYC

If that wasn’t enough, eleven Democratic elected officials were arrested in New York City on Thursday after storming a federal ICE facility.

The protest — branded as “nonviolent civil disobedience” — was in reaction to alleged conditions inside a holding area at 26 Federal Plaza. A judge had just ordered ICE to improve sanitation and access to lawyers. But instead of allowing the legal process to play out, city officials showed up demanding access and refused to leave.

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Comptroller Brad Lander were among those handcuffed. Federal officers detained several inside the building while NYPD arrested more outside.

This isn’t the first time elected officials have tangled with ICE during Trump’s second term. Earlier this year lawmakers in New Jersey clashed with the agency, with one recorded physically confronting an officer.

    Obama needs to face out and go sit in a corner before we decide to launch a FULL investigation into his doings, such as WHO he ire REALLY IS what country holds his birth certificate, because it certainly is NOT the USA and a slew of other issues that are questionable.

    RRRoger

    Instead of Chaos and Obstruction, let’s have Law, Order, Justice for all and “America First”.
    Now is the time to stand up to the corrupt globalist Establishment Elites.

    The so called Democrats of today seem to be criminal and despicable in their behaviour.
