WATCH: ‘Were You With My Husband?’ Maxine Waters Forgets She First Met Sec Scott Bessent While Line Dancing in the Bahamas

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) apparently forgot she first met Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on a New Year’s Eve trip to the Bahamas.

“This is the first time we’ve met, is that correct?” Waters asked Bessent during a House Financial Services Committee hearing Wednesday.

“No, ma’am. We actually met one New Year’s Eve in the Bahamas,” Bessent said.

“Why don’t I remember that?” Waters, 86, asked.

“You were much better at the electric slide than I was,” Bessent testified. “And I was with the prime minister of the Bahamas yesterday, Prime Minister Davis, who sends his regards.”

“Well, were you with my husband when he was the ambassador to the Bahamas, appointed by Clinton?” Waters asked Bessent, who awkwardly laughed.

Bessent appeared before the panel to testify about the state of the international finance system. He said tariff deals were well underway with dozens of nations.

Earlier this year, Waters harassed a security guard as she demanded to be let into the Department of Education building as part of a protest against the Department of Government Efficiency. She repeatedly asked for the guard’s I.D., even though she’d already seen it.

“Tell us your name. Give me that I.D. again,” Waters said.

“I’ve given you the I.D. I showed it to you,” the guard said.

“Say what?”

“I showed you the I.D.”

“You do what?”

“I showed you the I.D.,” the guard said slower and more enunciated.
