Mo Brooks Rushes Out Desperate Ad Featuring His Jan. 6 Rally Speech Hours After Trump Whacks Him

Mo Brooks Rushes Out Desperate Ad Featuring His Jan. 6 Rally Speech Hours After Trump Whacks Him for Running From the Big Lie

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) released a new campaign ad proudly touting his endorsement by former President Donald Trump…who just so happens to be reconsidering that very endorsement.

The congressman’s ad showcases the speech he gave at the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, the preceding event before Trump’s supporters violently laid siege to the U.S. Capitol in a bid to overthrow the 2020 election. The video also takes aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Brooks’ primary rival, Katie Britt.

“On January 6th, I proudly stood with President Trump in the fight against voter fraud,” Brooks declares. “I’m running for the Senate because I’m tired of debt junkie, weak-kneed, open border RINOs who sell out our conservative values. That’s why President Trump endorses me and Mitch McConnell opposes us.”

The timing of this spot in which Brooks sides with Trump’s false claims that the election was fraudulent is curious — given the endorsement he just touted might be about to go up in smoke.

Should help us in the midterms. Can't decide if it would be in our best interests to arrest him before or
after the midterms for his involvement in Jan 6th.

is almost certainly going to a runoff. More importantly, it’s not a slam dunk for Brooks"

Brooks’ once substantial Alabama Senate primary lead is gone
