Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly left a restaurant in Washington, D.C. after a woman heckled him.
NOTUS reporter Daniella Diaz said she was dining in Adam's Morgan on Wednesday when she noticed the woman heckling Bessent.
"While dining with a guest at the Adams Morgan restaurant, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was heckled in front of dozens of diners by a woman who bashed the administration’s sanctions," a report noted the next morning.
"Restaurant patron Olivia DiNucci repeatedly struck her glass to garner attention and mockingly toast Bessent, who called her ignorant and asked staff why they weren’t stopping the scene," NOTUS added.
Bessent was said to exit the restaurant after complaining.
“He’s eating in this nice restaurant in Washington, D.C., when sanctions cause starvation across the world,” DiNucci explained. “We should be confronting them with our voice as much as we can because people across the world are affected by this.”
A person close to Bessent said the Trump official left “precisely because the restaurant owner refused to respect other diners and remove the heckler in question. Also, the food sucked.”
The activist group Code Pink took credit for the interruption in Bessent's dining experience.
