***. U.S. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent reportedly crushed it at the annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration at Hibernian Hall in Charleston, South Carolina on Tuesday evening (March 17, 2026).

According to multiple attendees at the famed gathering, the 63-year-old Conway, S.C. native had them rolling in the aisles with his ribald remarks.

Bessent reportedly roasted former Palmetto State governor Mark Sanford relentlessly, much to the delight of the comeback-inclined politician.

He also is said to have poked fun at his current boss, president Donald Trump, claiming the administration was plotting an invasion of Ireland after taking care of business in Cuba first.

Bessent later had some fun at Graham’s expense, per attendees.

“The reason Lindsey Graham isn’t married is he has no first cousins in the Upstate,” Bessent reportedly joked, referring to persistent rumors about Graham’s sexual orientation.

Prior to founding FITSNews, he served as press secretary to the governor of South Carolina. »
