Erstwhile Trumpster Lackey Mo Brooks Flips On Trump

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Statement by Mo Brooks


Mar 23 , 2022

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 Election Day.

This is the core portion of a   statement   just released by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), one of ex-President Trump’s most ardent Big Lie supporters, after Trump   pulled his endorsement . It’s an astonishing statement.

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.

It’s definitional sedition.

That's why they're having this attack ad on Mo Brooks now - I see it most nights on TV.

I think that Brooks is saying that is what Trump wanted all Republicans and all of his supporters to do as a group. I dont know of any authority Brooks would have to try and do any of that on his own. 

Still , it demonstrates that even Trump's most ardent elected supporters completely realized the sham he was trying to effect and that he was trying to steal the election.

Trump made this statement today:

"When I heard his statement, I said, 'Mo, you just blew the Election, and there’s nothing you can do about it,'" Trump said. "Very sad but, since he decided to go in another direction, so have I, and I am hereby withdrawing my Endorsement of Mo Brooks for the Senate."

The statement was made in response to Mo Brooks saying this:  

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...

Can you blame then? 

Seriously you only have 3 channels on that black and white television, and all 3 are shown through local affiliates.  jrSmiley_80_smiley_image.gif

It's not like there are television channels that broadcast to the entire nation as a whole.  Next you'll be claiming that we've been to the moon, or taken pictures of a blackhole......sheesh!

Apparently that old tv gets political ads from other states, even though it is just local affiliates!

Another one chimes in. Why in  the hell would anyone run an attack ad nationwide when it is just a matter that should affect people in Alabama? Makes NO sense nor is it a good use of $$$$. How many cable channels do you think originate in Alabama and go OUTSIDE of the Alabama market. ESPECIALLY the East Coast.

SMH

Political ads with nothing to do with your area? I could buy that if it was coming from one of your immediate neighboring states but from Alabama to the East Coast? Especially the very blue East Coast? Stranger things have happened I guess.

Still SMH

Unless you are claiming that nobody in Alabama watchs HGTV, Syfy, FoxNews, ESPN, or any other nationally broadcast channel, your question is naïve at best. Have you never seen local commercials on those channels?

I know this is off-topic, but can you tell me the definition of an internet troll?  I have been wondering about that for quite a while.  

P.S. I deny that this question is related to anything or ANYONE in this comment thread.

I agree with your definition, but these trolls here also suffer from not being able to explain their positions on issues because they are lazy and dont know the pertinent information. They want to comment anyway which is where the trolling comes in.

Once again, Donald Trump fails on his promise to hire only the best.  One minute Mo is Trump’s special guest speaker on Jan. 6, the next he’s just another in the long line of losers that slipped by Trump’s superior hiring instincts.

I wonder how Brooks supporters will take that?

Here in Arkansas, John Boozeman is running for re-election to the US Senate. His ads state that he is the only endorsed trmp candidate for senate.That will probably get Boozeman re-elected. In a state like Alabama which is not much different politically than Arkansas I wonder how that will play out.
