It has been an honor to lead the best GOP organization in America! Thank you to my @ohiogop colleagues for your unanimous support today. Let’s go! 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸

Amid party infighting, Sen. Jim Banks looks to steer the ship. indystar.com/story/news/poli…

You have a plan? You’ve had 53 years to have a plan and get something done. Hell, you didn’t even vote yes for the Green New Deal. What kind of political coward doesn’t vote for his own bill and avoids debates? Btw, Ed, @sethmoulton debating the opposing nominee, isn’t called platforming - it’s called Democracy - something you clearly don’t believe in or you’re just too scared to show up. Btw, you sound A LOT like Donald Trump when you say “FAKE DEBATE.” I’m just saying. 😂 Speaking of debates, why not accept my 5 single-issue debate challenge? I’ve challenged you to debate me on energy, including your so-called signature proposed legislation - the Green New Deal. I’ve challenged you to debate me regarding housing, healthcare, and foreign policy. I’ve even challenged you to debate me for an hour solely on the issue of women’s reproductive rights. After all, you spent your first decade in office supporting a Constitutional Amendment to ban abortion, including in cases of rape and incest. That’s right, you wanted to use the constitution to strip away women’s rights. You only changed your mind when you decided to run for statewide office and looked at polling on the issue. How about an entire debate just on civil rights? Or are you too afraid it will give too much air time for me to bring up how you fought like hell to keep black kids from being bussed to better white schools in the 1970s and 1980s. That’s right, you claim to be Mr Reparations today - but when it counted the most - you stabbed blacks in the back. You even claimed you were supporting black people while doing it - just as long as they didn’t go to your white school district, right Ed? Btw, I’ve always wondered: When @JoeBiden ran for President in 2020 and reminded the world that, while he was a member of Congress, he was the guy who had reached out - across the aisle - and worked with anyone, including working with Democrats who had been white segregationists. Was he including you Ed? Instead of debating, after 53 years in elected office, all you can do is lie and run away from accountability - showing a true lack of integrity. You truly do fit in - in Washington. Btw, I earned my money representing working people across the Commonwealth agaisnt Multibillion dollar corporations and insurance companies. You’ve spent decades accepting their donations and doing their bidding in Washington. I did figure out, though, why you still talk about driving an Ice Cream truck during the summers while in school (over 60 years ago). It’s literally the only private sector job you’ve had in your 80 years of living. You ran for office while in school in 1972 - got elected in 72 - was sworn in office in January 1973 - and you’ve never left. While you’ve lived off the taxpayer, I’ve fought billionaires and regulatory capture on behalf of small investors. You bailed out billionaires and Wall Street Bankers in 2008 after their greed caused the so-called great financial crisis. But I guess you felt obligated to bail out the banks after the House Bank bailed you out and covered your nearly 100 bounced checks in the early 1990s for over $47,000. You didn’t even have to pay $1 fees, related to insufficient funds. Regular people’s credit would have been ruined, they would’ve had to pay thousands in fees, and they would’ve likely been prosecuted for fraud. But living in swamp has its perks, doesn’t it, Ed? You can be a coward and run from the debates for now, but you’re going to have to face me yourself - one on one - come the fall. Of course, you could prove you’re not a coward and accept the 5 single issue debate challenge. Or, is the reason you won’t debate because you and your team are too afraid you might have a “Biden moment” during the debates?
