Democrats knock Bessent over soybean empathy: You haven’t earned title of 'farmer'
Democrats are blasting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he associated himself with soybean farmers impacted by the pain of recent sale losses to China amide the Trump administration’s trade war.
“You’re a hedge fund manager who rents farmland to soybean farmers. You’re profiting off their hard work while sipping champagne with billionaire elites & kissing Donald Trump’s boots,” Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) wrote in a Monday post on X, in response to Bessent’s comments on ABC.
“You haven’t earned the title of ‘farmer’ you hack,” he added.
