Sorry Mo, the U.S. Senate has far too many sycophantic idiots already. I’d suggest you try for a seat in the Russian Duma, it would be a better fit for you.
Mo Brooks, the Alabama congressman who is about to launch a campaign for Senate, has officially said he condemns the Capitol riot and opposes violence he helped foment.
Fixed.
Just out of curiosity, does he plan to campaign from jail?
Brooks’ office didn’t respond to requests for comment for this article.
His office should be asked again and again, every day and the refusal to respond should be reported.
Mo(ron) Brooks trying his best to be as funny as Mel Brooks.
And failing…
At what point do the Blue States just say fuck it and let the Red States secede and try to make it on their own? Let Texas with its booming economy(and all those expat from CA I keep reading about) play mamma for the rest of the moocher states.
So will Mo be the first sedition conviction of the new and improved Civil War 2.0?
It’s been done before (james trafficant).
Actually, what would be best is a cell in gen-pop for 20 years for sedition.
Since the civil war has started, maybe the dumbfuck should run in the confederacy?
“In my judgment, it rivals the election of 1860,” he added, referring to the election of Abraham Lincoln, “and we saw what ensued from that” — meaning the Civil War.
So I guess he doesn’t want to just say out loud that he thinks that Lincoln fighting the southern insurrectionists and freeing the slaves was the wrong thing to do. But that’s basically the gist of it.
They just can’t let it go, can they?
Only if loyal Americans wup his ass like we did to the South over 150 years ago.
Just as senator rafael (ted) cruz is eligible to run for president…of canada, so is mo brooks qualified to run for senator…on the confederate ticket.
Our country is the USA, dickhead, not the CSA.
I can’t tell if his concern is the start of a new civil war or the end of the last one.
I am so looking forward to the Mo Brooks, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, and Roy Moore three-way primary battle.
Sounds like the Dumb Fuck Trinity.
I am only interested if Roy rides his horse again.
Representative Brooks, would that be the US Senate, or the Confederate Senate?
Sassy is now too old for him.
