Senator Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) was left red-faced today after trying to humiliate Trump’s Federal Reserve nominee with a gotcha question because he had some humor she was not ready for.
As CNBCreported, the Senate Banking Committee is holding a confirmation hearing for 56-year-old former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh.
Democrats are peppering him to with questions on issues from his views on monetary policy, his personal finances, and his ties to the Trump White House.
Warsh would become the wealthiest Fed chair if confirmed.
Warren decided to try to pit Warsh against President Trump by asking him a silly gotcha question: what is one thing you disagree with the president on?
Warsh, though, refused to take Warren’s bait. He calmly responded that the the Federal Reserve has wandered outside its purview in recent years and he would not do so.
After, the role of the chair is to remain independent of the president.
Warren decided to try again with the same gotcha question and Warsh delivered an awesome response that will no doubt have Trump cracking up.
He said that he totally ‘disagreed’ when Trump told him this morning he looked ‘straight out of central casting.’ Warsh said that for that to be true he would “look older, greyer and show up with a cigar of sorts.”
Pocahontas, of course, was unamused at his reply.
