WTF! In a recent interview, Mo (kick some ass!) Brooks says he was wearing BODY ARMOR under his jacket when he gave his Jan 6 speech, because “I was warned that there may be risks associated with the next few days.”

Rep. Mo Brooks may be done with Jan. 6, but Jan. 6 isn’t done with him.

The Alabama representative, notorious for his speaking role at the Jan. 6 rally leading up to the invasion of the Capitol, did not watch Tuesday’s first hearing of the House select committee investigating said invasion.

“I was in the House Armed Services Committee, Science, Space, Technology Committee, and had at least one Zoom meeting, and all sorts of other things,” he told me Wednesday when I encountered him outside the House chamber. “Busy day.” Not that a clear schedule would have made a difference.

“The purpose of that committee is not to discern the truth,” he said. “The purpose is to create political propaganda that may be used in the elections in 2022 and perhaps 2024.”

But whether he’s able to continue to avoid the committee altogether may not be up to him.

2. Traitor indeed. Time to take the 'trash' out and dump all of these traitors, quit stalling, and

charge them all w/ insurrection...

5. "Justice delayed is justice denied."

GOP are experts.

3. Right

So he was warned that there may be violence at the rally, and his response was to whip the crowd into a frenzy by telling them to “go kick some ass.” Makes sense.

Oh but it’s okay because he decided to put some body armor on.

I look forward to finding out who warned him and what the content of the warning was.

Them elite antifa phantom snipers can hit a squirrel's eye at half a mile, they'd have drilled this melon head right through that babbling open mouth, if they'd wanted to....

7. Suuuure Mo...we believe you

So you were warned there would be risks, but the US Capital was left largely unprotected. Seems totally believable Mo.

These fascists really think we're idiots don't they

@NormEisen
Mo Brooks' lawyer must be a little bit mad at his client right now. He basically admitted that he knew what would happen on 1/6!

I explained what Brooks' admission & yesterday's DOJ decision mean for him–& Trump to @andersoncooper on @AC360 @CNN

8. He was scared of Trump supporters?

12. If asked by the committee,

about the body armor, he will claim that he feared that anti Trump demonstrators would show up.
