Lawrence O'Donnell hates Scott Bessent as much as I do. [View all]

He is reviewing Bessent's testimony today at the Senate, and yesterday at the House of Representatives.

He applied his quintessential Lawrence O'Donnell indignation when describing Bessent as condescending...and a liar.

And Lawrence used one of the words I always use when referring to Bessent - creepy.

He pointed out that the Cabinet Secretaries from this regime are disrespectful when they appear before Congress. A posture never taken before by the members of previous administrations. He called them Trump's quislings. They are insulting to the Congress Critters. And they lie!
