Rep Rashida Tlaib (D,MI) unfamiliar w/ Ben Bernanke (and she's on the financial services commitee). (Congress, Pelosi)

Rep. Tlaib mispronounces the name of former Fed chair Ben Bernanke repeatedly as 'bernenake.'

You'd think she would be up on this. Isn't Bernanke one of those EEEVVVILLE Jews controlling the banks and running the world? C'mon Rashida, get with the program!

The Committee oversees all components of the nation's housing and financial services sectors including banking, insurance, real estate, public and assisted housing, and securities.

you can bet Tlab knows little to nothing of the sectors she is tasked with "overseeing", but she is in good company as her co-chairs are probably as clueless as she is.

Mythbusters should do an episode on the existence of knowledgeable elected officials

The patients are running the insane asylum... Powell should be afraid.

Color. me Shocked!

Nancy Pelosi has totally lost her mind ..... anyone really look at some of the people she has gifted on these Committees?

I've seen a lot of really dysfunctional House Congress Majorities over the years .....
BUT never one that was this BAD.

Most of the ignoramuses in congress have proud lengthy careers in "public service" (govt employees, tax feeders, etc) so no one should really expect too much

And these are the people running the country. We are indeed doomed

Pelosi hasn't lost her mind. She gave more prominent committee positions to some of the young progs to keep her congressional chair.

Have to ask a simple question. Is Pelosi more interested in putting quality democrats on comittees or keeping her role of power?

People should start calling it Eco-nomics around her and say it's part of the new green deal.

[Rakin]

Makes you wonder who gives her the actual questions to ask and why no deep follow up questions on a subject ?

[mirage98de]

Man she is ugly.
