Representative Mo Brooks, an Alabama Republican, urged supporters to continue to "fight" in the wake of the 2020 presidential election while slamming part of President Joe Biden's widely popular $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that provides funding to minority farmers as "especially repugnant."

Brooks also took aim at a $5 billion fund included in the American Rescue Plan, which provides support for minority farmers. The Republican congressman argued that the provision was "racism," because it did not offer the same support to white farmers. He said that part of the packages was "especially repugnant."
"Are you aware of who can and cannot apply for that assistance?" Brooks said. "African American farmers can apply. Asian American farmers can apply. Native American farmers can apply. But white farmers are barred from that kind of assistance in that $5 billion that is going to be handed out."
The congressman added: "Racism, by anyone against any race or ethnicity, is wrong. We fought a Civil War over that. The 13th and 14th Amendments combined were passed because of that with the 14th Amendment having an equal protection clause. Now the socialist Democrats are engaged in a virulent strain of racial division to divide based on skin pigmentation and that's wrong. In my judgment, it's a violation of the equal protection clause. I hope someone will challenge that in court because unless our Supreme Court has gone crazy left, that's unconstitutional."
