“Incredibly unprofessional” is subjective. From my view, she: • answered when allowed to answer • pushed back on loaded or argumentative framing • didn’t concede to assumptions built into the questions • stayed on message Hearings aren’t exams where you just recite facts. They’re adversarial and political. If a member interrupts, talks over, or frames a question with a premise she disputes, she’s not obligated to validate that premise just to look “polite.” As for the Dow Jones comment — emphasizing economic performance is a policy argument, not a disqualifier for competence. You may not like her tone or strategy. That’s fair. But disagreeing with style isn’t the same thing as proving incompetence.
