You all remember Congressman Mo Brooks don’t you? This guy? The one who said they need to “kick ass and take names” at the January 6th rally?
He is one of the most vociferous defenders of Donald Trump, a true MAGA to his bones. He’s running for Senate now and Trump enthusiastically endorsed him months ago.
Wellll…. he’s not polling well. So look what happened:
That’s Trump making the case that Brooks is failing in the polls because he isn’t Trumpy enough. That’s right. The guy who spoke at that rally is not Trumpy enough.
Here’s Brooks’ response:
It’s disappointing that, just like in 2017, President Trump lets Mitch McConnell manipulate him again. Every single negative TV ad against our campaign has come from McConnell and his allies. I wish President Trump wouldn’t fall for McConnell’s ploys, but, once again, he has.
I have not changed. I am the only proven America First candidate in this Senate race. I am the only candidate who fought voter fraud and election theft when it counted, between November 3 and January 6.
I repeat what has prompted President Trump’s ire. The only legal way America can prevent 2020’s election debacle is for patriotic Americans to focus on and win the 2022 and 2024 elections so that we have the power to enact laws that give us honest and accurate elections.
President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency. As a lawyer, I’ve repeatedly advised President Trump that January 6 was the final election contest verdict and neither the U.S. Constitution nor the U.S. Code permit what President Trump asks. Period.
I’ve told President Trump the truth knowing full well that it might cause President Trump to rescind his endorsement. But I took a sworn oath to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution. I honor my oath. That is the way I am. I break my sworn oath for no man.
I’m still the most conservative candidate in the race. Katie Britt’s campaign is supported and funded by McConnell allies, and she’s still a high taxing, open borders, cheap foreign labor, Chamber of Commerce lobbyist.
There’s only one conservative option in this race, and I am confident that the people of Alabama will see that on by election Day.
How does that shiv that’s buried in your back feel, Mo. Does it feel good?
Trump knows that he needs his endorsees to do well in 2022 but his records isn’t all that great. He exacerbated the problem by endorsing a bunch of MAGA extremists who may have a difficult time winning. Now he is seeing that this is a problem and if his people aren’t polling well in primaries he will un-endorse and blame it on them being insufficiently serious about the 2020 election, regardless of the facts.
Loyalty only goes one way with Trump. They have been warned.
