Scott Bessent Confirmed as 79th US Treasury Secretary in 68-29 Senate Vote

Scott Bessent was confirmed on Monday as the 79th Treasury Secretary of the United States.

Bessent is an investor and hedge fund manager. He resides in South Carolina.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, appeared before the Senate Finance Committee today for his confirmation hearing.

Bessent, a hedge fund manager, and Key Square Group founder calmly swatted down Democrat haters when they have asked him gotcha questions and made laughably untrue remarks throughout his testimony. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) learned this the hard way earlier today.

Last week, Bessent put Bernie Sanders in his place after the old socialist, who never earned a steady paycheck until he was in his 40s, attempted to smear US billionaires who Joe Biden suggested in his farewell speech, were a threat to America. Bessent calmly reminded Bernie that Joe Biden had just awarded George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom last week!

Bessent is also the highest-ranking openly LGBT person in American history. He is now fifth in line to the presidency.
