ICYMI: Sen. Banks Joins Fox News Sunday

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) joined Gillian Turner on Fox News Sunday to discuss the impact and legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and the ongoing strikes and negotiations in Iran. Click the image above for full discussion. Key Excerpts: Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “I met Lindsey Graham about a dozen years ago when I was serving in Afghanistan when he came to or base for to do his two weeks of annual training with the U.S. Naval Reserves, I got to spend time with him then in uniform but then over the years he has given me a lot of advice on running for Congress, running for the House, running for the Senate. But most importantly in recent years, how to be an effective United States Senator. I would say Lindsey Graham is the most effective senator in the Trump era… I am sad for South Carolina, I am sad for our country, I’m sad for the Senate; we have a lot of work to do to fill the void that Lindsey Graham has left in the United States.” “Well, President Trump has been very clear that he is going to finish the job. That we’re negotiating and dealing with scum, as President Trump calls them, in the Regime in Iran. This week, trying to negotiate with the Iranians at the same time they are calling for the President to be assassinated, you see what we’re dealing with. The United States of America is not going to let Iran get away with ever have a nuclear weapon, especially not on Donald Trump’s watch.” “As soon as Iran can come to the table and understand that they have no other choice but to do what it takes to sign an agreement with the United States of America that they will never have a nuclear weapon, that they can’t control that Strait, that they can no longer funnel money to terrorist proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. That they can no longer get away with that… President Trump is doing what no other President has done before. He is negotiating from a position of strength.” ###
