Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
