Mo Brooks Delivers Bitter Concession Speech
June 22, 2022 at 8:02 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) “delivered an angry, bitter concession speech after media outlets projected Katie Britt the winner of the runoff election to determine Alabama’s Republican Senate nominee, saying his defeat was a major victory for the Democrats,” the Washington Examiner reports.

Said Brooks: “It’s always appropriate to congratulate the winners, and some of these winners might be a little bit unexpected, but I’d be remiss if I did not congratulate the Alabama Democratic Party for helping to ensure that the Democratic nominee in the Republican primary won.”

He added: “Congratulations to the Democrats. They now have two nominees in the general election.”

1. Bitter, Party of One Your Table is Ready

Brooks made similar remarks before the Capitol riot, when he told protesters to "start taking down names and kicking ass."

[phylny]

9. Now that's funny!

[Botany]

11. On 1/6/21 he was wearing body armor as he urged the MAGA morons onto violence

[phylny]

16. Well, I don't think he is funny.

I think he’s a nut and dangerous. I was responding to your “bitter, party of one” comment which I’ve never heard and think it’s brilliant.

[Botany]

17. "bitter, party of one" is old line another one is bitter your table for one is ready.

[phylny]

18. I'm old but have never heard these. Very good!

[Flo Mingo]

19. BELLY LAUGH n/t

[Glorfindel]

2. Give the devil his due...

at least he said, "Democratic Party" and "Democratic nominee" in his concession speech. Most rePukes would have said, "Democrat," incorrectly using the noun as an adjective.

[Aristus]

22. I noticed that.

Surprising that he had the intellectual wattage to remember that final, fourth syllable.

[Dorian Gray]

3. lol

the trump endorsed democrat.

World's smallest violin is playing for Mo Brooks.

[Mr. Ected]

4. Mo, you should be more worried about the prison cell that awaits you

This just saved you the humiliation of being removed from Congress and frog-marched to jail. Consider it a gift from the Democratic Party.

[House of Roberts]

5. i wish he was correct about Katie Britt,

but his track record on being correct is abysmal.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Oh, That's Not Fair

He's been correct two times in his life. You're being too harsh!

[Brenda]

6. There, I fixed it.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) “delivered a delusional, idiotic concession speech after media outlets projected Katie Britt the winner of the runoff election to determine Alabama’s Republican Senate nominee, saying his defeat was a major victory for the Democrats,” the Washington Examiner reports.

Britt is nowhere near a Dem, not even an Alabama Doug Jones Dem.

[Best_man23]

10. Britt is much closer politically to Brooks

Than to Doug Jones, Kirsten Sinema, or Joe Manchin. I visited her site and it has a major Jesus, Guns, and Babies vibe.

[Brenda]

13. She's definitely

a young female clone of Shelby whom she was Chief of Staff for if I recall correctly. So sad to see such a young woman so deeply entrenched in the party of such misogynistic platforms against women. I had hopes she would be more open-minded but apparently MAGA ate their brains.

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. She will get rich from this

Anything for money. The repug creed.

[Polybius]

25. Shelby was highly establishment though, and was never on board for the insurrection

I think she's way to his right.

7. The real Democrat is Will Boyd, our party's nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama.

"Will Boyd was born in Florence, South Carolina. Boyd graduated from Mayo High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of South Carolina at Columbia in 1994, a master's degree in business administration from Regis University in 2003, a doctorate in religion from Christian Bible College in 2003, a doctorate in organization and management from Capella University in 2007, and a doctorate in Christian clinical psychology from St. James the Elder Theological Seminary in 2015. Boyd's career experience includes working as the patriarch and metropolitan archbishop of Zion Ministries, the pastor of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church, and the chancellor of St. James the Elder Theological Seminary."

30. hard core religionist nt

[Samrob]

8. Even though Republicans voted him out, and Trump withdrew his support, he still blames Dems.

The GOP will never blame themselves or each other for any of their misdeeds and consequences.

COWARDS RUN AMUCK.

[brush]

12. Hah! The voters kicked his ass and took his name.

[NewDayOranges]

14. Phuck MO Brooks and his pheelings...

[irisblue]

15. Suffer Brooks.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Brooks was here.

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Once a liar, always a liar.

Fuck you MAGAt Mo.

[Bucky]

26. She's a genuinely horrible person. I don't know what his problem with her is

She's against red flag laws. She's against birthright citizenship. She's against labor unions. She's against against abortion rights from week one.

She hates all the right things and all the right people. She's the perfect Republican.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. Mo learned that TFG is not loyal and only cares about himself

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Speaking of Alabama, where the hell is Jeff Sessions

I know he left early but surely he's got some good stories

[BlueCheeseAgain]

31. One thing to notice about what he said...

I feel like I read a lot of things online that say "Democrats don't know how to play politics and fight the right way. That's why Republicans are always winning and Democrats are always losing."

I wish these folks could see what Republicans actually think-- not many of them actually think they're winning. Brooks here thinks the Democrats are winning in Alabama. Greitens is blasting away at RINOs. They talk about Joe Biden like he's some sort of evil dictator. This isn't the talk of a party that thinks it's doing well.

And while we should always want more, I think we should also remind ourselves that we're not losing as much as people think we are.

32. Rep. Mo Brooks says he's willing to testify in public as Jan. 6 committee prepares to reissue him a

I hope that Mo Brooks shows TFG the same amount of loyalty that TFG showed to Brooks

Rep. Mo Brooks -- one of the Republican lawmakers facing calls from the January 6 committee to testify about his interactions with former President Donald Trump -- said Wednesday that he is willing to testify but only in public.

"My basic requirement is it be in public so the public can see it -- so they don't get bits and pieces dribbled out," the Alabama Republican said. He also said he'd testify only about matters related to January 6, 2021, and wants to see copies of any documents beforehand that the panel may ask him about.

Even though the House select committee announced subpoenas for Brooks and four other Republicans last month, he had yet to be served with one because he had been campaigning for the GOP Senate nomination in Alabama. Brooks lost in a runoff Tuesday night.

Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, told CNN that the panel has "redone his subpoena" and "he's the only member we hadn't been able to serve."
