Apparently, the coolest thing a Republican can do these days is act like a heartless bastard. That’s the message that Sen. Jim Banks of Indiana wants to send anyway, as he’s now put the video on his Twitter account, used the picture as his profile icon, and decried leftwing activists as clowns, and not simply a citizen upset with losing his job.
And, in a way, I don’t even blame Jim Banks as he’s always been a reactionary, rightwing ideologue. I blame the voters of Indiana for sending such an asshole to represent them in the U.S. Senate in the first place. He’s not going there to represent their interests whatsoever and he just proved it.

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.
The brief interaction between the U.S. senator from Indiana and Mack Schroeder was caught on video and shared by multiple outlets, including NBC News’ TikTok account.
In the video, Schroeder, who does not appear on camera, follows and questions Banks as he is escorted to an elevator.
