Exclusive — Jim Banks: Voters Would Be ‘Immediately Betrayed’ if GOP Worked with Democrats to Oppose McCarthy’s Speakership Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 3 Dec 2022
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, spoke with Breitbart News about House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) run for Speaker and said it would be a “very shameful moment” and that voters would be “immediately betrayed” if establishment Republicans worked with Democrats to install a moderate Speaker.
Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle opened the interview by asking Banks to discuss how House Republicans can take advantage of the slim majority next Congress. Banks noted that no matter the size of the majority, Republicans still have increased powers, such as control over congressional committees.
“We have to get get to work right away. And the most important thing that we can do, it doesn’t matter if we have a one seat majority, or a majority of 40, or 50, that doesn’t prevent any committee or any committee chair from focusing on Oversight and Investigations and accountability,” Banks said.
He also said the GOP needs to move “quickly” to impeach President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “for violating the rule of law for what he’s done at the southern border that has left the border wide open.”
