Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) doubled down on his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election during a speech the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando.

"Well, let's go back to the beginning of January 2021," Banks said.

"We had the election, then we had Jan. 6. By the way, I will never, ever apologize for objecting to an unconstitutional election in November of 2020," he said to applause.

So do you want to debate about your election being bought by dark money, do you want to debate that you should resign, because after all when you accept dark money is it not a form of bribery.....I really think this should be filed against you....


Fourteenth Amendment

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
