Banks Memo: GOP Must Embrace Being ‘Party of the Working Class’ to Take Back House in Midterms
“Opposition to illegal immigration and increased legal immigration remains popular among both working-class Americans and the electorate at large” Banks stated.
Republican Representative Jim Banks from Indiana sent House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) a memo urging House Republicans to “embrace policies supported by working-class voters if they intend to succeed in flipping the House in the 2022 midterm elections.” Banks provided a copy of the memo to Breitbart News.
The memo begins, “President Trump gave the Republican Party a political gift: we are now the party supported by most working-class voters. The question is whether Republicans reject that gift or unwrap it and permanently become the Party of the Working Class.”

DES MOINES – In a letter sent to House Republican Leaders, Iowa House Minority Leader Todd Prichard has called on Speaker Pat Grassley to remove State Rep. Dean Fisher of Tama County from his role as Chair of the House Environmental Protection Committee and be stripped of his committee assignments. Prichard’s insistence follows a series of false and threatening social media posts made by Fisher following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
“A week ago, I requested that Rep. Fisher issue a public apology, accept responsibility for false social media posts, denounce the violence he condoned in his comments, and immediately stop spreading lies and conspiracy theories about the legitimacy of our elections,” said Prichard. “Since he refuses to tell the truth and condemn violence, Rep. Fisher must be held accountable for his actions. He should immediately be removed as Chair of the House Environmental Protection Committee and stripped of his committee assignmen
