When losing an argument, just whip out one of the many victim-cards employed by Democrats and hope for the best.
That’s the move California Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez tried to play in a heated exchange with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Sanchez was questioning Bessent on President Trump’s tariffs during a House Ways and Means hearing on Wednesday.
“Prices are rising on many everyday goods,” Sanchez said. “On average, Trump’s tariffs are estimated to cost households $3,000 more for the same goods than they would have last year,” though she offered no source for her claims.
When Bessent attempted to interject, Sanchez apparently became flustered and cut him off with the “woman card.”
“Please don’t interrupt me … I know I’m a woman, but please try to limit yourself to answering my questions.”
Thankfully, people are no longer buying this tired tactic, and the room erupted in groans.
“Oh, come on.” Sanchez shot back. “No, I’m sorry, but we get talked over all the time, and I don’t want that to happen at this hearing.”
JUST IN: Audience groans after Rep Linda Sanchez accuses Scott Bessent of being sexist after he corrected her after she falsely claimed “prices are rising.”
Sanchez: Prices are rising on many everyday goods.
Bessent: Congresswoman, that’s not true.

The crazy clip went viral on X, where Sanchez’s “woman card” was delt a swift blow:
Playing the woman card is so tired at this point. But Democrats have zero self awareness, so they continue down this road.

That’s one way of putting it!
Real people are done with this false victim crap. @RepLindaSanchez is my Rep in California. She represents illegal aliens not the people who pay her salary, benefits and pension.

So done!
People are sick and tired of this fake sexism and racism crap

This is literally why everyone sane has left the Democrat party.
You can’t make any sort of valid criticism or correct things without being labeled sexist, racist, ableist, ageist, classist, or some other -ist. No one wants to be associated with these people or their policies.
