Senator Jim Banks said on Wednesday that he did not apologize after a video was spread online in which the Republican of Indiana had confronted a released federal employee who confronted him in front of the camera because of comprehensive government cuts “a clown” who “probably deserved” to lose his job.

The exchange in Washington, DC, received hundreds of thousands of views on Instagram and X. It caused some conservatives to praise “brutal honesty” banks, and others to question the statements of the senator as thousands of federal workers under the Trump management are exposed to mass symptoms.

In a video published on X on Wednesday morning, banks said that he would not “come back” from his comments or the support of Trump and the government of the government of the government.

“The Democrats and the left media have lost their minds because yesterday I told a left -wing activist in the halls of the Senate office buildings what I really thought,” said Banks in the post. “A clown is a clown that chases senators through the halls with a mobile phone and complains to lose a left” aroused “job in the federal government that should never have been a federal order at first.”

GOP legislators told released federal workers that they probably deserved it.

The Senator’s comments came a day after the exchange with Mack Schroeder, a former employee for health and human services, told the USA today that he was released on February 14, and protested with other released federal workers on Tuesday when he recorded the interaction.

The video shows Schroeder Off-Camera that approach the banks before the legislator rises into an elevator. Schroeder asked banks if he would “do something” to stop the federal cuts, including the social service programs.

“Hello, I was a worker at HHS,” said Schroeder. “I was illegally released on February 14th. There are many people who do not receive social service programs, especially people with disabilities. Will you do something to prevent what happens?”

“You probably deserve it,” Banks replies in the video.

“Why did I deserve it?” Asked Schroeder.

“Because they are shining like a clown,” said Banks when the elevator doors closed. The senator uses an image from the interaction as a “#Newprofilepic” in its X account.

Schroeder, who initially called the comments from banks “very childish”, told the USA on Wednesday that he was surprised on Wednesday what the banks, a senator of the American senator, will do when he is confronted with his voters about her concerns.

“Over 150,000 inhabitants of Indiana rely on the program of energy support with low income (LIHEAP). After the entire LiHeaP employee has been released, how is the senator ensure that his voters will receive heating in their houses?” Said Schroeder.

The attention of social media is nothing new for banks

It is the second video connected to the Senator of Indiana, which has been widespread on social media in recent weeks. At the end of March, banks released a video on its X -KONNTA government in which an employee who delivers Salon Donuts in a town hall in all County, held by an indivisible group in the northeast of Indiana.

Several people in the videos arise why he did not appear at the event to answer questions from voters. In the post office, the organization described a “democratic anti-trump/banking group”. The national organization said on its website that it focuses on “measures to resist the GOP agenda”.

The reaction to the videos is not unusual for banks, a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, who previously became viral for comments on social media. Last year, when a New York jury Trump was guilty of 34 cases of falsification of annual reports, banks described the state as an insult in an item on X.

Banks that previously represented northeast -Indiana in the house was elected in the US Senate in 2024. He was undisputed in the Republican area and won the general elections over his democratic opponent by almost 20 percentage points.
