Former President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he’s withdrawing his endorsement of Rep. Mo Brooks in this year’s Alabama Senate primary, slamming Brooks as “disloyal” to him for not fully supporting his “Big Lie” about the 2020 election.
“Mo Brooks of Alabama made a horrible mistake recently when he went “woke” and stated, referring to the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, “Put that behind you, put that behind you,” despite the fact that the Election was rife with fraud,” Trump said in a statement shared on Twitter by his spokesperson Liz Harrington.
“When I endorsed Mo Brooks, he took a 44-point lead and was unstoppable. He then hired a new campaign staff who ‘brilliantly’ convinced him to ‘stop talking about the 2020 Election,'” he continued.
“Very sad but, since he decided to go in another direction, so have I, and I am hereby withdrawing my Endorsement of Mo Brooks for the Senate. I don’t think the great people of Alabama will disagree with me. Election Fraud must be captured and stopped, or we won’t have a Country anymore.”
The announcement comes days after Brooks attempted to please Trump by releasing a digital ad vowing to support removing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his role as GOP leader.
“Today, I unveil my pledge to America to fire Mitch McConnell. America can’t afford a Senate leader who is a weak-kneed, debt junkie, open-border RINO Republican, and who, worse yet, sells out America for special interest group cash,” Brooks said, using an acronym for “Republican in name only.”
Needless to say, Brooks’ ad didn’t work.
