A video of Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., telling a man on Capitol Hill who identified himself as a recently fired Health and Human Services employee that he "probably deserved it" because "you seem like a clown" has gone viral.

The man engaged with Banks in the video is identified as Mack Schroeder.

ABC has not independently confirmed that Schroeder is a fired federal employee, but Schroeder told CNN on Wednesday he wasn't at the Capitol to "get his job back" but wanted to ask lawmakers what they were going to do to ensure residents were "getting the services that they're entitled to."

"As we cut workers who are really ensuring that grants are going out the door to programs," Schroeder said on CNN. He said that he had worked on programs that support people with disabilities and older adults.

The "that they are entitled to" part is the duplicitous wiggle room. RepubliCONNERs think almost nobody is entitled to anything, except that white males are entitled to trad wives and promotions.
