Mo Brooks Had Advance Warning Of Threat To Capitol And Wore Body Armor During January 6th Speech RoF

Republican Congressman Mo Brooks might have actually implicated himself to a degree in the Capitol Riots. He admitted in an interview this week that he had warnings that there would be violence from the Trump mob on that day, and he even admitted to wearing body armor during his speech at the Stop The Steal rally. However, it appears that he failed to pass along these serious warnings of dangers to his colleagues or even to police officers, making his motives very suspicious. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. MO MO...

Mo Mo wears body armor to tourist events? According to the GOP this was a Kumbaya type of gathering.

2. Exactly! There were "hugs and kisses!"

Officer Gonell Slams Trump's Comments: 'I'm Still Recovering From Those Hugs And Kisses'

When asked by Rep. Liz Cheney on his experiences during the January 6 riot, Capitol Police Officer Sgt. Aquilino Gonell criticizes Former President Trump for calling the rioters “a loving crowd,” saying “I’m still recovering from those hugs and kisses.”

5. I watched most of it.

I saw all their opening remarks.

I cried.

The rest, had to miss some....mom care. I did see most of it though.

6. I watched most of it, too. It was heart wrenching and compelling

I cannot imagine anyone not being moved - and stricken - by what they said about their terrifying experiences that day.

7. The "compassionate conservatives" said they did not bother watching.

I doubt that...

8. I cannot imagine what it took for those four officers to relive what they experienced

And, with all they presented, especially the body cam footage, there is no way what happened can be ignored or whitewashed. One part that got to me was when Harry Dunn asked for a moment of silence for his friend, Brian Sicknik. People died. No one can ignore that.

These are two of the men that the squad voted against. I have no clue how they could have done such a thing. No clue.
