“Stop Talking About Biden!” — Gillibrand Erupts as HUD Secretary Defends Trump-Era Approach

“Stop Talking About Biden!” — Gillibrand Erupts as HUD Secretary Defends Trump-Era Approach A Senate hearing on homelessness turned into a shouting match after Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand told HUD Secretary Scott Turner to stop blaming the Biden administration and answer for his own record. Gillibrand pressed Turner over delayed homelessness data and asked a basic question: how many people are homeless in America right now? Turner pushed back, saying he inherited a system that failed. He argued that the old approach produced record funding and record homelessness, and defended the Trump administration’s move away from Housing First. That is when Gillibrand snapped. “Stop talking about Biden. Talk about your record.”
