During today's Senate hearing on Trump's pick for the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh refused to say Trump lost the 2020 general election.

Senator Elizabeth Warren asked a simple yes-or-no question to see where Warren's loyalties lie.

Are they for the American people, or Demented Donald's egomania?

WARREN: Mr. Warsh, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

WARSH: We try to keep politics, if I'm confirmed, out of the Federal Reserve.

WARREN: I'm just asking you a factual question. I need to know, I need to measure your independence and your courage.

WARSH: Senator, I believe that this body certified that election many years ago.

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking. I'm asking, did Donald Trump lose in 2020?

Ma'am, I'm suggesting you in 2020, the Fed made a huge inflation problem, and you certified the election.'

When Trump demands a rate cut at the Fed, Warsh will be there to implement it.

Warsh failed miserably.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking
