Indiana Republican Senator Jim Banks has defended the second indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, stating that he used his power to harm President Trump and his peers. He also addressed skepticism surrounding the assassination attempt by Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who questioned whether it was an assassination attempt, and how the use of slang for getting rid of someone was a direct threat. Banks stated that one in seven Americans believe in political violence to advance a political cause, and that the mindset has taken over the Democrat Party.
