Republican Sen. Jim Banks told a former Health and Human Services employee that he “probably deserved” to lose his job in a viral video on Tuesday, April 1.
Note: Instead of simply responding that they are making cutbacks in an effort to save money, Banks found the need to accuse the young man of being ‘woke’ and therefore not deserving of his job.
Meanwhile, his job was administrative and had nothing to do with policy, neither left nor right. It was a process to get funds to those getting benefits, namely veterans and disabled. He was a paper processor.
Then in another Tweet, a friend of his stated that Banks must be ‘protected’. Apparently these GOP snowflakes can’t bear to take questions from the public. And they can’t answer questions without sounding ridiculous and unnecessarily nasty. The man who lost his job wasn’t doing anything threatening.
Turned out that Banks had no idea what the man’s job even was.
