“We believe America is the greatest country in the history of the world. But they don’t,” he said of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
“Americans want a president they can be proud of,” Banks said. President Biden, he contended, is an embarrassment to Americans. Using the example of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal of 2021, Banks emphasized that Biden is not fit for office.
