Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley suffered an unhinged racist meltdown over white men on the House floor on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing following a report that revealed widespread sexual misconduct and harassment at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
In the hot seat was FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, who was grilled by lawmakers over the toxic work environment at his agency.
Republican lawmakers called for Gruenberg to resign.
GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry blasted Gruenberg said:
“You never have apologized in your written statements, in press reports…for your actions in this report,” McHenry asked Gruenberg.
“There is no apology for the people you have berated over the last 13 years at the agency or actually the last 20 years…Do you apologize to the people that you affected?”

Squad member Ayanna Pressley also ripped Gruenberg before embarking on a racist rant.
“I am so tired of white men failing up,” she began.
“This lack of accountability is shameful, inadequate, and deeply unsatisfactory, and it is retraumatizing,” Ayanna Pressley said.
It wouldn’t be worth thinking about the outrage if a white congressman used the same racist statement against black people.
