Democrat Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett took to X Wednesday afternoon, in a graphic and misspelled post, to respond to a user concerning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and a hearing he attended Wednesday.
Bessent testified Wednesday afternoon before the House Ways and Means Committee regarding trade operations and the economy. One exchange, between Plaskett and Bessent, was posted by C-SPAN on X, causing an influx in comments, such as one claiming she and other female representatives were all experiencing premenstrual syndrome.
Her response includes vulgar language, suggestive comments and personal information.
Plaskett rebuked Bessent during the hearing for interrupting her as she spoke. He was interrupting her to clarify facts. Plaskett spoke for approximately five minutes before Bessent was given the opportunity to respond.
“Let me get something straight with you first here. I’ve seen you interrupt everyone,” Plaskett said to Bessent. “When you come to someone’s house, you respect their rules. I will give you time to speak.”
This is not the first time Plaskett has been involved in vulgar or sensitive content. A video of Plaskett’s husband, naked and wearing makeup, and a topless selfie of Plaskett were leaked to the internet in 2016, according to POLITICO. One of their children appears in the frame of the video at one point. Two former Plaskett staffers have been indicted for stealing the footage from her iPhone while getting it serviced, according to The Hill.
