A former Department of Health and Human Services employee’s attempt to seek sympathy in the halls of Congress blew up in his face when he confronted freshman Senator Jim Banks (R-IN).
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
As We the People know, HHS has been conducting mass layoffs across the department, affecting roughly 10,000 full-time jobs.
According to NBC News:
[T]hese cuts are part of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan to drain the swamp and reshape the agency.
RFK Jr. is working with Elon Musk’s DOGE and wants to reduce the health department’s workforce from 82,000 to 62,000.
One man canned by HHS back in February went to Capitol Hill and chose to follow Sen. Jim Banks around on Tuesday, demanding he stop the Trump Administration from continuing to implement these job cuts.
The former bureaucrat told Banks:
Hi, I was a worker at HHS. I was fired illegally on February 14th.
There are many people who are not getting social service programs, especially people with disabilities.
Further:
Are you going to do anything to stop what’s happening?
Banks, demonstrating zero sympathy for the unemployed worker pestering him, delivered a spot-on reality check:
You probably deserved it.
The blunt reply stunned the woke Leftist, who was apparently looking for a shoulder to cry on.
He stammered the words:
I deserved it? That’s great to hear. Wow.
Why did I deserve it?
Because you seem like a clown.
WATCH:
LMAO! Who knew Senator Jim Banks was so funny!
WORKER: "I was a worker at HHS. I was fired…are you gonna do anything?"
BANKS: "You probably deserved it. Because you seem like a clown."
