Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he will be voting in the Alabama special election next month for Judge Roy Moore, the man who beat him in the primary, because it is important to have conservatives in Congress. “America faces huge challenges that are vastly more important than contested sexual allegations from four decades ago,” Brooks told AL.com in a text message.
“Who will vote in America’s best interests on Supreme Court justices, deficit and debt, economic growth, border security, national defense, and the like? Socialist Democrat Doug Jones will vote wrong. Roy Moore will vote right. Hence, I will vote for Roy Moore.”
“There are millions of people in America who would lie in a heartbeat if it meant adding another Democrat to the Senate,” Brooks said in the text message.

Watch out, Mo. There may be an accuser(s) waiting in the wings for you.
Agreed.
We know they are data mining down there right now, still seeking to find other women.
It’s revealing to know how much effort is being put into this, and how little has been expended to investigate the Clintons.
Mo definitely has a bright political future!
They can’t kick out Moore!
The women voicing grievance against Roy Moore might have damaged his career in the months before the primary. If that had been, Republican Luther Strange or some other Republican less supportive of Senate Leader McConnell would have won the primary election. The women chose to wait for Moore’s victory in the primary; then they chose to wait until the general election was so close that the ballots can’t be changed. With this timing, there is much more at stake than closure for the women. It’s not just Moore’s career that goes into the garbage pail of history. The great likelihood is that a Democrat will emerge to claim the seat formerly held by AG Sessions. Such a person will not represent Republican Alabama; rather he will be a Chuck Schumer drone, doing nothing that Alabama voters want. Democrats are destructive to freedom, prosperity, national sovereignty and security. Democrats condone and even promote corruption. Democrats’ work product is hate for President Trump, his supporters, and traditional American values. The women’s grievance is stale, not because it’s 38 years old. It’s stale because national security is at stake. The voter’s choice is going to be set aside without comment. If Alabama voter’s embrace this perspective, they can deal a blow against the lazy obstinate establishment swamp critters by giving Moore a landslide. Vote for Judge Roy Moore.
The women’s hurt is not trivialized. Women being grabbed for the gratification of bosses in corporate or government offices is already largely suppressed in most places. More needs to be done in Hollywood and other places where liberal licentiousness prevails. Women will be better off, if they speak up in a more timely fashion. They must also resist other men who would manipulate their grievances for reasons having nothing to do with womens rights, and having everything to do with political ulterior motives.
“Rep. Mo Brooks: ‘I Will Vote for Roy Moore’ Because ‘Democrats Will Do Great Damage to Our Country’”
Good man. I was already favorably disposed to Brooks but this definitely cements it, particularly after McConnell, Ryan, McCain, Flake, Romney, Gardner, et al. having been trying to drum Moore out of the race.
Thank you, Mo.
Note how he framed it as a vote against the Democrats rather than a vote for Moore? No defense of Moore himself or questioning the allegations made against him? Because Brooks will be running in the 2020 primary against Moore. Watch.
Brooks will be running for this seat in two years.
Way to Go Mo Brooks. A Congresscritter with guts!
Good for Mo Brooks! A republican must win that seat! If Moore must leave then the republican governor can name a replacement.
This could have a very significant impact on the election.
You don’t want that...if these fabricated slime jobs even have the effect of causing Moore to give it up...or lose in the primary...in two years, then they’ve been successful. And when an outright campaign of lies is successful, you will see it become a standard practice. And that ends the Republic, or the chance of returning to a Republic, forever if it is not stopped in its tracks, this is far too dangerous.
This slime job needs to be crushed and forever destroyed. The setting off of the Mutually Assured Destruction principle with Al Franken is a good start. Methinks Bannon is setting off nukes and reminding the swamp that they live in glass houses. Good.
Right. I hope the good people of AL realize that this is really about keeping the seat in Republican hands. We don’t need another seat going to the RATs.
Get used to the idea. Brooks will probably be the Senator in January 2021.
I have no problem with Brooks being a Senator...not at all. But if it comes because a coordinated and funded campaign of sordid lies was successful in damaging Moore critically, then we are lost forever. This isn’t even the worst that Hillary/Obama/McConnell types can do, what comes after this being seen as successful will be much worse than anything we can imagine today.
It is what it is. If McConnell can't get Moore to withdraw and can't get someone run as a write in then he's prepared to live with a Democrat for two years. Plan B is to continue to attack Moore and marginalize Moore for two years and primary him in 2020. And don't think Brooks isn't already looking at that.
This isn’t even the worst that Hillary/Obama/McConnell types can do...
Two names too many. This is McConnell's doing from start to finish. Clinton and Obama had nothing to do with it.
I was hoping Mo Brooks would hang tough!
this has the “modus operandi” of Democrats and socialists
Nonsense. The person who has the most to gain from all this is Mitch McConnell. It he takes out Moore then he takes out Bannon as well. If Moore is elected then McConnell will marginalize him and ensure he accomplishes nothing over the next two years. In 2020 Brooks will primary Moore, beat him, and McConnell will welcome him. If the Democrat wins then McConnell will live with it (a use it as another excuse to do nothing) and Brooks will beat the Democrat in 2020.
The Democrats have no reason to be behind this. Even with the allegations against Moore they know they have little chance of winning the seat. Moore would be a bigger thorn in McConnell's side than the Democrats.
