Former President Trump has pulled his endorsement of Rep. Mo Brooks in this year's Alabama Senate primary, slamming the Republican as "woke" and disloyal to him for doubting his claims about the 2020 presidential election.
"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,'" Trump said in a statement issued on Wednesday morning.
"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.

Varney is “woke” as well when it comes to the election. Very disappointing.
WTF?
I know nothing else about “Mo” Brooks. Heard the name before... But that’s about it.
I'll bet Brooks wasn't the person making that decision.
If so, that explains a lot.
This is very good news. There are plenty more RINOs on Trump’s list that he could withdraw his support for. I hope he intends to wake up from his self-imposed stupor and this is the first sign.
President Trump is flexing - it will be interesting to see what happens.
I think you are right - No mo Mo.
What am I missing? Is it just the election thing? That's a big deal, but not the only hill to die on this election season.
I totally agree.
didn’t you have a list of RINOs that Trump had endorsed? Maybe this is the beginning of sumthin...
I don’t know the details but if he did a 180 for some reason he needs to answer why. There must have been something specific that Trump is reacting to.
Bye bye no Mo Mo.
This also does put Brooks into the position of actually taken a firm position one way or another. Either he’ll say Trump is mistaken and he’s strongly in favor of digging into election fraud etc or he’ll stand with his new position
Mo Brooks is the best person running.
Brooks must run a campaign to get elected.
Rehashing 2020 won’t do that.
Mo caved to the wokesters. That’s a death sentence to conservatives.
I don’t know who to support now, both Britt and Durant have issues. Britt is swamp centric and Durant is a potential McCain clone.
My guess is that Brooks’ campaign staff have done extensive polling of the voters, and found that the 2020 election is very far down their list of concerns right now.
Not followed the AL election, but I trust Trump on this one.
Maybe but Brooks must have done something with that information. I doubt Trump would do this just because Brooks didn’t mention it in a while.
Rehashing 2020 is about more than 2020. To ignore it is to ensure that 2022 will be a repeat of 2020.
