No-Name Congresswoman Channels AOC/Jasmine Crockett, Goes on Wild '$20 Bill' Diatribe

Here’s my theory: Congressional Democrats are getting jealous of the attention that Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) are getting for their unhinged antics, low-IQ takes, and theatrical displays of their lack of self-awareness. Crockett is arguably getting the best of AOC, making headlines for mocking Texas Gov. Abbott’s use of a wheelchair, threatening Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and regularly showing she has little to no understanding of the legal framework of this country.

That being said, AOC is no slouch either.

Enter Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, who must have been thinking to herself, "Why is no one pointing their camera at ME? How can I get an MSNBC mention?" Her answer, apparently, was to disrupt a House Financial Services Committee meeting Wednesday and disrupt the proceedings for a full two minutes while she gave her portrayal of Maxine Waters:

🚨NEW: Dem Rep Joyce Beatty DERAILS hearing for over 2 minutes after not liking Scott Bessent's answer🚨

BEATTY: "In 2016, former Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman was to be the new face of the $20 bill. Can you tell me what’s the current status of this project?"… pic.twitter.com/xEewvxNGsQ

BEATTY: "In 2016, former Secretary Jack Lew announced that Harriet Tubman was to be the new face of the $20 bill. Can you tell me what’s the current status of this project?"
TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT: "No ma’am, I can’t, but my staff will get back to you."
BEATTY: "No, I want you to get back to me..."

It was at this point that she decided it would be a good time to launch into a divisive monologue:

“No, I want you to get back to me because, see, there seems to be an issue when it comes to things that affect people of color or people who live in poverty, whether it is what you’re doing with social security, what you are doing with restricting funds—” she said as the chairman’s gavel could be heard repeatedly rapping, with chairman Republican Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil eventually telling her that her time had expired.

Decorum be damned. Despite the chairman telling her over and over that her time had expired, she continued to yell. Finally:

I'm not going to yield! I'm not going to stop until you direct him to answer to me as a member of Congress ... I will not stop! I will not be silent!

It goes on till your ears hurt.

Perfectly normal behavior in a congressional hearing, right? Well these days, actually, yes—but I’d like to imagine that it wasn’t always so.

Maxine Waters' Cranky Response to Scott Bessent's Light-Hearted Anecdote Shows What a Shrew She Is

Note that Bessent was actually perfectly polite—he admitted he didn’t know the answer but would get back to her. He didn’t seem condescending, he didn’t act squirrely, he just said he flat-out didn’t know. That’s not a crime. I imagine when you run a large federal agency and haven’t even been at the helm for that long, there is always much more to learn.

Congressional Democrats seem to be further debasing themselves with each passing day. Congratulations, Joyce Beatty—almost nobody had heard of you before this, and now many people have. You too will now join the pantheon of ridiculous people in Congress like Reps. Eric Swalwell and Maxine Waters as the other empty-headed loudmouths who would much rather make a lot of noise than actually accomplish something for the American people.

The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
