Sen. Banks Previous Statements of Support:
Tulsi Gabbard:
Sen. Banks: “Tulsi is a combat veteran and has dedicated her life to public service. She is committed to holding the bureaucrats who weaponized our intelligence agencies the past eight years accountable, protecting Americans’ privacy, and restoring trust in our institutions. She will be a strong ally for President Trump, and she has my full support. The Senate should confirm Tulsi ASAP!”
“Tulsi Gabbard is a patriot who has served our country for decades. I have full confidence she will be a strong leader in President Trump’s admin who always puts America First.” (@Jim_Banks, X, 11/20/2024)
I served with Lt Col @TulsiGabbard in the House. She is a patriot who served her country during wartime. DNI needs an outsider to fix it after the last 4 years. The Senate needs to confirm Tulsi ASAP! (@Jim_Banks, X, 2/3/2025)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Sen. Banks: “[RFK Jr.] has my full support and I look forward to confirming him to drain the swamp at the Department of Health and Human Services. On the HELP committee I will work with RFK Jr. to put policies in place that support families and children, get rid of the radical transgender agenda pushed by the Biden administration, and put the health of the American people first. We can never let the Faucis and the bureaucrats lock our country down or take away our freedoms ever again and RFK Jr. won’t let that happen. The Senate must confirm RFK Jr. now!”
Kash Patel:
Sen. Banks: “I think Kash is right. I mean, the last four years, we have seen the leadership of the FBI be more focused on the political causes of the left, going after parents at school board meetings, instead of going after and investigating ISIS members in America. I mean, the — Jabbar in New Orleans had ISIS content on his social media account. We should have been more aware of that and planned to stop that attack from happening and going after him. And, instead, the FBI has become way too bureaucratic, way too political. And Kash Patel is going to be a big part of cleaning it up. But never forget that Donald Trump is going to be the president. He’s going to be in charge. He’s going to instruct Kash Patel. And I expect Kash Patel will help clean up the mess.” (Sen. Banks, CNN’s State of the Union, 1/5/2025)
“@Kash_Patel is the right man to clean up the FBI. He has my full support and must be confirmed ASAP” (@SenatorBanks, X, 1/15/2025)
