Man is she awesome at the questioning.

Rep. Katie Porter has the receipts. Wells Fargo's CEO claims his statements about "restoring trust" are real, but Porter shows that the bank's own lawyers are arguing in court that those words are "corporate puffery." "Are you lying to a federal judge or are you lying to me?" -- Kyle Griffin​

Don't know that Porter woman, but I thought AOC was as "stunning" as always:

"Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?"

"So, hypothetically, if there was a leak from the Dakota Access pipeline, why shouldn't Wells Fargo pay for the clean up of it since it paid for the construction of the pipeline itself?"


:lol:

"So hypothetically"...that was classic!
She found that gear so naturally, didn't she?

The Wells Fargo guy probably left that hearing wondering WTF she was smoking.
 
Porter can't do basic math. Her $35,070 figure was wrong.
Porter doesn't understand the tax rules. She forgot to take into account the $2,000 child tax credit the person she was speaking about would qualify for.
Porter doesn't take into account child support the child's father should be providing.

And the person failed to meet Ben Shapiro's three tests for avoiding poverty: (1) gradate from high school, (2) get a job, and (3) don't have children until you are married. She obviously failed the last one.
 
look at this one and listen for the description of the source used (skip to 2:00 to avoid preamble):
