Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) on Wednesday issued a blistering response to former President Trump's decision to unendorse him in the Alabama Senate race, accusing Trump of asking him to remove President Biden from the White House following the 2020 election despite his protests.

"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," Brooks said in a statement. "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."

Brooks's statement comes hours after Trump pulled his endorsement of the lawmaker as he runs for an open Senate seat in the state's

Trump in his announcement said Brooks had "hired a new campaign staff who 'brilliantly' convinced him to 'stop talking about the 2020 Election."

i'm guessing by now he's heard it enough that it's not a deal breaker.
maybe the other guy took the pledge, so he flipped.

3. can't wait for Trump's bullshit denial

Brook's "confession" sounds just like Donnie...the deposed depot-in-exile assumed Brooks would do his bidding, good soldier that he was...and you can bet ol' Mo did everything he could to make it so...they all did..

[keithbvadu2]

5. Yet Mo would keep quiet for an endorsement.

You gotta give him credit for appointing the first minority sheriff of Rock Ridge, though.

25. Mel Brooks Would Likely Have Said...

"Go fuck yourself", in Yiddish. 😂

[exboyfil]

9. And Mo wasn't one of the ten GOP House members who voted for impeachment

Funny that given what he is revealing now. It seems that he had the chance to stop one of the most dangerous men ever in the US and he folded like a cheap suit.

[agingdem]

15. Mo voted against both impeachments...a real stand-up guy

Mo's taking his shot now that Donnie is far away and diminished...a loyalist kevlar vest wearing foot soldier breaking ranks..like a middle school mean girl cat fight

16. Mo Brooks did January 6

Mo Brooks urged a Jan. 6 crowd to ‘fight.’ Now his actions long before the insurrection face new scrutiny.
By Michael KranishJanuary 10, 2022|Updated January 10, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. EST

The congressional committee investigating the insurrection is weighing whether to seek testimony from Brooks and has cited his invitation to deliver a Jan. 6 speech in a subpoena to the White House official who invited him to the rally. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the committee, said she has long been concerned by her colleague’s words and actions.

“He did publicly say over and over things that were not true,” Lofgren said in an interview. “He said the election had been stolen. That’s not true … He admitted he showed up at the rally in body armor, making really extravagant comments about overturning the election and urging people to take action.”

Brooks — who has denied any intent to spark the attack on the Capitol and said he was merely urging protesters to battle at the ballot box — declined an interview request. In response to a list of questions from The Washington Post, his campaign spokesman said in a statement via email that Brooks has not received questions from the committee, or talked or corresponded with it.

19. I REMEBER MO saying the crowd would have to willing to get bloody and give up their possessions.

It is on tape and he can't get away with his incitement of the crowd to attack the legislators at the Capital. His new confession would surely connect these facts to Seditious Conspiracy he was part of.

[NBachers]

21. Bring on the repuque knife fights.

[Initech]

22. It's 2 years later and he won't shut up about it. That was an obvious fail!

[COL Mustard]

23. It's frightening to me

But Tommy Tuberville, one of the dumbest boxes of rocks to ever be in the US Senate, will soon be the senior Senator from Alabama. This is a "Run, Forrest, Run" moment.

[riversedge]

24. Repug Mo figures if he goes down, he will bring Repug Trump with him. Keep fueding boys!! Let

the world know all your dirty little secrets.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

26. Don't you just love it when they start eating their own ?

[nclib]

27. How was Mo supposed to do this?

He just waves his magic wand and it's done? How is this even a discussion between them?
