Seriously???

And this man is running to be a US Senator from the State of Indiana.
Unbelievable
He just made it worse for her. Why talk about real issues when you can stir the pot and bit in to the WNBA issues, right?
You beat me to it. Not helpful at all – he’s probably never even watched a game. He should take a lesson from her about how to handle things with grace and calm and not escalate.
Oh, he’s an idiot. Noted.
On the other hand, I’d rather see him refereeing girls basketball than serving in the Senate
WNBA should call his bluff: loudly and publicly offer him a job as a ref!
YES!
A pretty pathetic attempt to pander to both women and basketball fans. Maybe he should work on substantive issues that will actually improve our lives.
He’s pandering to his base as well as MAGA is trying to “adopt” CC. But she’s just trying to play basketball while some WNBA players and commentators are playing other games and trying to make this political (like Banks).
The substantive women’s issues on which he’s done damage: women’s reproductive health, SCOTUS appointments….this is his legislative record.
Maybe he could publicly cry foul over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the concerns generated from that invasion for our European allies, and China’s harrassment of Taiwan. Maybe instead of just complaining about immigrants at the Southern border, he could look into how the US might have contributed to, and how it might help resolve, the issues in the Central American countries from which these folks are fleeing. Say, a real embargo on US guns and ammunition to the impacted countries (Haiti, in particular, pops to mind) and depriving the gangsters and politicians in these countries fueling these issues of access to American banks. You know, things that can be done at the federal level.
Good idea. Unfortunately, those real issues don’t resonate with TFG or his base. It’s easier to try to capitalize on the CC controversy and scream about the border.
Can I please reprint that everywhere?….
Mr Banks, please get back to work.
Jeez
Mr Banks, please crawl back under your rock.
Barstool senator. Try to imagine the cringe life of being family members of numnuts like that
While I’ve oft been told opposited attract, I suspect in these cases its the other way around, and they swarm together. So, for the family, it’s probably not a cringe issue…they’re bloody well likely very proud of him for stepping up to this plate on this critical issue…
Next will be Congressional investigations chaired by Jim Jordan of Ohio of the Penske team scandal a few months ago; perhaps an inquiry as to how Japanese women seemed to dominate the US Open last week (but most certainly not an investigation into sexual predators at Ohio State wrestling).

Caitlin–you do NOT want this guy in your fan club.
Seriously? What makes Banks think he has any business (i.e., jurisdiction) over the WNBA? What a fool he is.
