Waters confronted Mnuchin with a procedural interruption after asking him why his office had yet to respond to a May 2017 inquiry sent by her office regarding President Trump’s financial ties to Russian banks.
Instead of going straight to the answer, Mnuchin decided to pay Waters with a few compliments. In other words, he was stalling.
“We don’t want to take my time up with how great I am,” Waters said. When Mnuchin insisted he had been attempting to answer the question, Waters continued to press him to actually do so, repeating the “reclaiming my time” phrase.
Now, because the internet is what it is, a song has been created as a result of the incident.
And it is pretty damn good actually. Mykal Kilgore, who has quite the heavenly voice might I add, took to YouTube and posted a video of him singing a gospel song in response to the accidentally hilarious exchange on Saturday.
Another reason why we love the internet.
