You could not have timed the elevator door closing better than this. Worker: “Are you gonna do anything to stop what’s happening?” Banks: “You probably deserved it.” Worker: “Why why did I deserve it?” Banks: “Because you seem like a clown.”

• Man, that’s some clown-level politics right there. Banks could’ve at least given a proper answer instead of dodging like a champ in an elevator.
• This is what I’m talking about. Quit pussyfooting around with these people and walking on eggshells. Hit them with blunt honesty and a dose of reality. It’s because you seem like a clown to me. I love it – Jericho
• Exactly. Elected leaders would have way more respect if they didn’t bend to the mob and virtue signal 24/7. – Collin Rugg
• That’s pretty nasty and smug. This coming from a conservative republican too. He should treat people with the dignity they deserve. He’s an elected Senator. Lead by example with grace for the fellow man. – Tim D
• When politicians start treating people like this, it’s a reflection of how disconnected they can be from the real struggles of working people. Sometimes a little empathy goes a long way, even when tensions run high.
• “Since the invention of the elevator door closure there have been five closures that were rated the most based, the most perfect. This one left them all behind.”
• Nobody that was busting their bum will not find another job there. Many gov depts were a waste of tax payer money so they needed to be stopped. Of course it will be painful to the people that were getting checks and doing little to receive them. Now they will have to work all week like the rest of us.
• The amazing thing is the woman who thinks that Banks saying that makes HIM look bad. “Oh, shouldn’t have said that on…” Riiiiight… Duane Thomas
• People whining about this wouldn’t have lasted 3 minutes on an ‘80’s playground. Banks is a BOSS. – Lucy Stone
• You know all his aides bust out laughing and threw up some high fives after the doors closed
