Mo Brooks calls U.S. Capitol rioters 'fools'; says sedition charges up to Justice Department

By John Sharp | jsharp@al.com
The mob of pro-Trump supporters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6 were “fools” who wrecked efforts by Republicans in Congress to debate baseless allegations of “voter fraud and election theft,” said U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks who is now running for a Senate seat.

“They did more to hurt the Republican Party and our efforts for honest and accurate elections than anybody could have, even those who would’ve followed a script written by the Democratic Party,” Brooks said Friday during a conversation with AL.com ahead of a “Stand Up Alabama” rally at 4 p.m. today in Spanish Fort where he will be the keynote speaker. Brooks is one of two Republicans who have announced their candidacy for the Senate in 2022. Also running is Lynda Blanchard, the former U.S. ambassador to Slovenia under former President Donald Trump.

“We were going to have a debate on the House and Senate floors about voter fraud and election theft and that message, those facts, did not get out through the news media,” he said. “The news media was absorbed by the attack on the United States Capitol.”

Mr. Brooks? You have all the time in the world to explain about the stolen election n great detail. So....explain it.


Why the Fvcking do reporters NEVER ask them to provide details or evidence of their horseshit claims? Most Dems don’t corner them, either, when given the opportunity. They all say “Is Joe Biden president?” as if that’s enough....it ain’t.

Three times he called on them to risk their possessions and blood to "Save America" that day! Post the clip!

I watched in real time and could not believe what I was hearing from Senators and Representatives on that stage.

They called on their fools, and the dummies had our democracy in their hands but walked away as the dummies they are, but now their republicon idols are mad because they were to stupid to finish the job.

Arrest every person there, including Mo and the people who funded this insurrection.

Strange how he's changed his tune. He was so proud of himself at the time.

All these scum ass republicans are now trying re-write history.

But we all saw it, Brooks. There's a video of you clear as day exhorting the crowd. You're gonna lose cause all you opponent has to do is play that video next to the one of you calling all of your fellow seditionists fools.

11. 'War on whites' Behind Sessions Opposition, Says GOP Rep. Mo Brooks

The allegations of racism against U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions are a result of the Democrats’ “war on whites,” according to Alabama’s Republican Rep. Mo Brooks.

“It’s really about political power and racial division and what I refer to, on occasion, as the ‘war on whites,'” Brooks said on “The Morning Show With Toni & Gary” on WBHP 800 Alabama radio, CNN reported last week. “They are trying to motivate the African American vote to vote-bloc for Democrats by using every Republican as a racist tool that they can envision, even if they have to lie about it.”

There's not a damn thing we can do to stop him from being the next Alabama Senator. Sad but true.
