A GOP senator who was confronted with the massive dismissal of the Trump government of federal workers had a brutal clapback of four words with a dissatisfied employee who lost his job.
Indiana Senator Jim Banks ran firmly in a lift when he was approached by a man who held a camera and put him out about cutbacks on the staff.
The man said he had been fired to the thousands of employees since Trump returned to the White House as part of his radical promise to clear the federal workforce and eliminate wasteful expenditure.
'I was an employee at HHS I was illegally fired on February 14. There are many people who do not receive social service programs, especially people with disabilities, are you going to do something to stop what is happening? ', The dissatisfied employee said.
Immediately benches shot back and she told the man: “You probably deserved it.”
While the elevator doors closed, sofas rubbed salt into the wound, adding that the man looks 'like a clown'.
Furious by the reaction, the person behind the camera repeatedly asked why he earned it and added: “Wow. That's great to hear. '
A female companion chimde in and told Banks that his remark was' sad 'before he noticed:' Okay sir, you should not have said that [camera]. '

“That is not how American senators should talk to officials. That is Egregious, “said critic Marissa D. Barrera – who once supervised the health care portfolio for Bernie Sanders when he was chairman of the Senate budget committee.
But banks hit back with their own social media post, where the video was reserved with a short explanation that stands with his words.
“Hard truth,” he wrote, before he finally changed his profile photo on X to be a fragment of the video of him grinning while the lift doors closed.
Banks, an avid supporter of Trump, previously criticized the Health Department for celebrating Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day.
'Glad this type of bulls *** ends on January 20! I can't get fast enough, “Banks replied to the HHS post.
The message on X reads: 'Today on PanSexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves, respected and supported – regardless of who they keep. Create a world where everyone feels proud to be themselves! '

The Banks comeback comes days after he had caused anger with democratic voters by sending donuts instead of attending a meeting of the town hall that they had organized to express their grievances.
The 54 year old sent boxes with Salondonuts and a film crew to the event, where he was represented by an empty chair filled with a cardboard recess.
“Hey guys, we have some donuts here thanks to Senator Jim Banks,” said a non -created staff member of Banks' Office the crowd, who broke out in irritated smile.
“I'm going to throw them up,” a woman shouted as he opened the boxes.
The cutbacks include researchers, scientists, doctors, support staff and senior leaders, which leaves the federal government without many of the most important experts who have long led American decisions on medical research, approvals for drugs and other issues
While a man in the treats grooves, he told the employee to tell banks 'go to hell'.
“Oh well, I will pass it on,” the employee replied.
Banks was the representative of Indiana from the third district since 2017 before he walked for the Senate in 2024. The seat was abandoned by Mike Braun who ran and won this cycle for Indiana Governor.
Kennedy has criticized the department that he supervises as an inefficient 'vast bureaucracy' and said that the annual annual budget of $ 1.7 trillion 'has not improved the health of Americans.'
He plans to streamline operations and to fold full agencies – including the drug abuse and mental health administration – in a new administration for a healthy America.
