Blanche compares MAGAts who urinated & defecated all over Congress to mistreated Native Americans [View all]

Blanche notably declined to rule out potential payouts for individuals who assaulted law enforcement, saying eligibility will be determined by commissioners.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Tuesday that he is "not a big fan" of the fund.

"And I am not sure exactly how they intend to use it. But my understanding is that was just announced. I don't see a purpose for that," Thune told reporters at the Capitol.

Blanche, in defense of the fund, sought to compare it to an Obama-era initiative that set up ways to settle claims brought by Native Americans who had alleged they had been subject to widespread mistreatment by the government.
