1. The Campaign Commercial Writes Itself

Make this go viral Indiana. Jim Banks was always such a MAGA douche Congressman and is continuing as a US Senator. Such a statesman. NOT!

And when he loses his relection in 2030 say "Banks probably deserved it because he's a clown."

[BComplex]

7. What a disgusting human Jim Banks is. This truly will make a great campaign commercial!

Indiana is so deeply red that it might not make a difference in Indiana....but it damn well should. It will definitely make a difference somewhere!

[Demovictory9]

46. "It will definitely make a difference somewhere!" I hope so!!

[Celerity]

53. birds of a feather

[Scrivener7]

2. Thanks for attaching his name: Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. This needs to be spread far and wide.

These assholes telling civil servants that they are useless don't have a lot of self-awareness, do they?

[Demovictory9]

3. It just happened on April 1st...beginning to spread

[Scrivener7]

4. He doesn't seem to realize he's a civil servant. None of them does. They think they're all kings.

They have all forgotten who they work for.

21. ..with penis minusculus

I hope he thinks about that moment when a member of his family contracts a life-threatening disease.

[Scrivener7]

34. Bahaha! I just self deleted a post bc it said the exact same thing.

(Though your spelling is better. )

[Seinan Sensei]

28. He is the April Fool

and May
and June
and July ...

[magicarpet]

32. These jackasses think they are part and parcel of the royal class.

No matter what they say or do they will be issued a pass. The more rude, the more insulting, and the more venomous they can be - all the better. It makes them think they are being arrogant and decisive tough guys and alpha males.

Fuck you,... don't bad mouth me or my tribe or I will slam you with public ridicule, degrade you, and insult you.
Toxic masculinity on full parade.

[LiberalArkie]

5. Jim Banks saying "you probably deserved it" says that Banks is totally clueless as to what is going on.

If he had any empathy or knew what was happening, a normal response would have been "It doesn't reflect on you, you were just a number"

[UpInArms]

8. I hope that the real clown in that video gets the boot in the next election

Jim banks … clown from Indiana

[Hotler]

9. Security would have had to pull me off.

[Hugin]

10. An aside, speaking of clowns...

Anyone else hate men’s suits right now? They have a cut that looks like they spent 15 minutes too long in a dryer.

I don’t blame Zelenskyy for taking a pass.

[DFW]

11. This is a glowing ember that should never cease to burn

The DNC should use this in TV ads nationally and for a LONG time to come.

THIS is the Republican Party. This is the kind of person that runs for office in the Republican Party. Remember that when it's your turn to vote, and remember that when you choose what kind of person you want voting for budgets and laws in our Senate.

If something awful befalls you, a job loss, an expensive illness that is difficult to treat, an disabling injury that will cripple your ability to provide for your family, a death in your family that robs you of your major source of income, an injury from which you will need long term treatment--the Republican response is that "you probably deserved it." We Democrats say that you probably didn't. There, quite simply, is the difference. There, quite simply, is the choice. How you vote is your call.

40. I was born in Indiana

and that is why I had to get the F* out of that state. I miss some of my family back there and have some outstanding friends there but F* Jim Banks. F* him sideways and I hope he gets censured and impeached.

[electric_blue68]

50. This....Bingo! The bad kind.

[redwitch]

57. Also include "I really couldn't care less ".

Why would anyone vote for this?

[Johnny2X2X]

12. I would have went off on him

I would have lost my shit and screamed curse words at that POS.

[Hope22]

18. Unlike Mr. Banks, the young person kept it professional.

The rest of us can feel free to say what a supreme di@k Banks is. Talk about a privileged pompous a$$!

[spanone]

13. Hey jim banks

GO FUCK YOURSELF

[Vinca]

14. What an asshole.

[MLWR]

15. I would have told Banks that he just lost a vote.

[patphil]

23. This guy won election to the Senate in 2024 by over 550 thousand votes - his first term.

I guess he feels he's safe with that kind of a margin of victory, so he can treat one of his constituents with disdain and suffer no consequences.
Unfortunately he's not up for re-election until 2030.

[Easterncedar]

16. Ahhh, nice video

Thanks to the guy who caught that. May it go far and wide.

Note: Banks’ most recent educational experience is a a Christian college and theological seminary. He does the Christian thing real good.

[Meowmee]

17. 😖

[Prairie Gates]

19. Right wingers are celebrating this, btw

Like some of our own: gleeful and gross.

Beyond gross, really.

[travelingthrulife]

30. Really...exactly like some of our own. Both siderism alive and well!

[Skittles]

54. what are you talking about

I don't know of ANY Dems celebrating people getting fired for no fucking reason.

[Scrivener7]

35. Who of our own is celebrating this? Do link to that.

If you can.

20. There is a book that covers this.

[LPBBEAR]

22. That should be worked into

a Democratic campaign slogan somehow.

"Voters, when we vote in this election to fire Republicans like Jim Banks what is the message we're sending? You deserved it because you seemed like a clown!"

[surfered]

24. His name is Jim? I thought it was the nickname for Richard.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Two things stand out to me - "Little Man Complex" and "pretend tough guy complex" hiding behind his aides.

That was a textbook response from someone who truly doesn't give a shit about his constituents.

[ILikePie92]

26. What an entitled scumbag

Hopefully Mr.Banks loses his job soon

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

27. Jim Banks Got His so....

fuck the rest of you. Not born rich? You're own damn fault. Slipped up and got pregnant at 17, then the deadbeat boyfriend skipped town on you and your baby, and your parents don't have money. You're own damn fault. /snark

[SSJVegeta]

29. He made it his social media focal point. His profile pic is of the elevator closing on him

He seems proud of disparaging wrongfully terminated employees. Far from an advocate for the working class, that's for sure! He is proud of being a coward.

[RobertDevereaux]

31. Alas, just had his election in 2024...

. . . so unless he retires in disgrace (fat chance), we're stuck with his ugly ways for six more years.

[dsc]

36. A Democrat in NC lost his seat over a somewhat similar video

back in 2010. While it was a bad year for us nationally and state legislatively, he was the only Congress person who lost and it was in large part to an ad that ran constantly of his very bad looking interaction with a conservative provocateur. He was named Etheridge.

[Ilsa]

37. I hope Indiana fires his ass.

Citizens have the right to expect they can take their grievances to their govt representatives.

[bif]

38. Wow! Major League Asshole!

"You seem like a clown." Seriously?

[dalton99a]

39. Kick

[CatWoman]

41. NOTHER

kick

[2naSalit]

42. I hope he is...

Haunted by this little moment for the rest of his life, especially after he gets ousted for this very moment.

[dalton99a]

43. Jim Banks and family deserve the worst medical problems in the world without health insurance

45. The people will rise

and smug assholes like Banks won't be able to hide.

[IcyPeas]

47. DEMS: THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE VIRAL VIDEOS!!!!

Confront them on camera. Post it everywhere. The guy who was fired is now being interviewed on CNN, NBC.

Make these republicans famous.

[moondust]

Rotten bastard with no shame.

[electric_blue68]

[Skittles]

they cannot even relate on a human level - it sucks to lose your job NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES

[raccoon]

52. What a POS Jim Banks is.

[Demovictory9]
