With Trump apparently set to announce his 2024 candidacy for president, Brooks tore into his former hero in a blistering interview with al.com.
“It would be a bad mistake for the Republicans to have Donald Trump as their nominee in 2024,” Brooks told AL.com. “Donald Trump has proven himself to be dishonest, disloyal, incompetent, crude and a lot of other things that alienate so many independents and Republicans. Even a candidate who campaigns from his basement can beat him.”
Brooks was a six-term Republican congressman from Alabama before vacating his seat to run for the Senate in the current midterm cycle. But, as al.com noted, that didn’t work out so well:
“It’s a Republican relationship that began imploding more than a year ago when Brooks – the outgoing congressman from Huntsville – said at a Trump rally in August 2021 that voters should take the Trump-objected 2020 presidential election and “put that behind you.”
“The deterioration continued when, Brooks said, Trump repeatedly asked him to forge a path in Congress for President Joe Biden to be removed from office and be replaced by Trump. And it culminated in March when Trump retracted his endorsement of Brooks’ Senate campaign.”
Brooks was the first member of Congress to object to the results of the 2020 election, but now has this spin on what had been a longtime alliance with Trump:
“I did not fight for Donald Trump after the 2020 election,” Brooks told al.com. “I fought for election integrity. Donald Trump just happened to be the beneficiary of it.”
What happened Mo Brooks?
Wasn't Mo the guy who said, "It's time to start taking names and kicking ass" on Jan 6.
I guess he is no longer a Trump Humper.
