Rep. Jim Banks has released a new bill that would strip convicted rioters of unemployment benefits as well as make them pay for the policing of riots.
Banks wrote on Twitter “Threatening the life of a US Senator is a felony.”
“Under my bill, the Support Peaceful Protest Act, Sen. Paul’s attackers would be forced to cover the cost of policing the protests & lose access to federal benefits. Enough already!” He added.

Tweeting a link to Breitbart’s coverage of his bill, Banks wrote:
“It’s not just George Soros or any other big leftwing group paying these rioters to burn down our cities and destroy America.
You are.
My bill would stop it.”
