Sen. Jim Banks told a laid off U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee who approached him that they “probably deserved it” and they “seem like a clown.”

Republicans like Banks know they can say just about anything they want because their constituents don’t make them pay.

I’m one of them. I call, I write. Attend town halls. Used to post on his fb before I deleted fb. Let’s keep the shame on the individual. I’m in a red state. Doesn’t mean I like my state being red. Can we resolve to fight the assh*les in power instead of each other please?

If you’re a Republican, pretty much, yes. The more you hate the people your constituents hate, the more they want to vote for you. I’d love to say “Proud of your Congressman, Indiana?” except they probably are. And will remain proud Republicans even when their social security cheques stop arriving.

Good to know Fort Wayne “understood the assignment”. Sadly the 2024 results tell a different story for the state overall 😕. It’s insane, you look at any of his policies from his time in Congress and they’re exclusively the positions an ass-hole would support. Yet ppl vote for him?
