One thing is for sure — when Mo Brooks looks in the mirror from now on, he will say, “Yikes did I f_ _ K up.”
He’ll spend the rest of his life looking back rather than forward.
Brooks was a loser in 2018 and a loser when he made that stupid statement about forgetting the past and looking ahead.
Brooks was not willing to fight. Perdue lost for the same reason ... voters saw him as a loser that would not fight when the fight was important. I know nothing about Britt, except she is not Brooks. I listened to her interview the other day and she seemed a bit vague and talking pointsy when a direct question was asked.
Fmr Trump adviser Steve Cortes: ‘Economic populist’ Katie Britt is ‘next generation of America First’ https://t.co/gt9SMmLbSq— Yellowhammer News (@yhn) June 9, 2022
But the Republican establishment does not want to work with Trump.
I’m talking about the title of the article.
Alabamans don’t like Britt. Ok.
How did mo brooks do anything to fix the problem?
When asked why he opted to intervene in Alabama’s U.S. Senate race, Cortes told Yellowhammer News that Britt represented the “next generation of America First.”
“I live nearby. I live just across the border in Tennessee, but if I did live in Alabama, I’d be voting for Katie, and I’ll tell you why,” he outlined. “She is really the dynamic, next generation of America First. And what I mean by that specifically is that she believes in sovereignty, she believes in cultural conservatism, she believes in populist economics for this country, and really placing America first.”
Like Masters and Vance, who both hail from the world of venture capitalism, Cortes suggested that Britt represented a growing trend of political figures from the upper echelon of the business community that has embraced tenets of economic populism.
While many political observers would maintain that Britt’s opponent, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), fits the mold of what is considered to be “America First,” Cortes pointed to one recent vote the congressman made that he contended was not consistent with the movement: The approval of a $40 billion Ukrainian aid package.
“And I’ll also tell you, on the other hand, when I look at her opponent, when I look at Mo Brooks, I see someone who unfortunately has sold out all too often to the Washington establishment,” Cortes proclaimed. “Somebody who has, at times, [been] tired and predictable in his views, and to be specific, especially as it relates to his views and vote on Ukraine.”
In an interview with Breitbart News last month, Britt took Congress to task over its approval of the aid package. In railing against the vote, Britt asserted that the dollars could have been utilized to fund border wall construction.
Cortes lamented, “[Brooks] sent an absolute mountain of money we do not have to escalate a conflict 6,000 miles away in which the United States has no vital U.S. national security interest rather than worrying about and paying attention to the very real concerns of the citizens of Alabama, particularly as it relates to the border, our border, not Ukraine’s, and as it relates to inflation, which is punishing citizens all over this country, punishing the citizens of Alabama, and particularly the working-class people.”
Britt expressed that it was “an incredible honor” for Cortes, who she deemed as vital to the “America First” movement, to publicly support her candidacy.
The former Business Council of Alabama CEO left her role as head of the state’s largest business advocacy organization to pursue elected office.
When considering a potential bid for the U.S. Senate, Britt advised that she and her husband Wesley, a former University of Alabama football All-American and New England Patriots offensive lineman, decided that the stakes were too high to forgo a run.
“We need the next generation of leaders to step up and fight for this country,” she declared. “You know, when my husband and I prayed about this and decided to jump in this race it’s because we know the country we grew up in and we see the country our children are growing up in, and while that is not too far apart, it seems worlds and worlds away. And it is time for our generation to get off the sideline and step up for the next generation so that our children will have something left to fight for.”
Should her candidacy prove successful, Britt noted four issues that she would seek to address immediately as Alabama’s junior senator.
Britt advised that supporting law enforcement, promoting American energy independence, defeating inflation, combating China’s economic aggression, and taking aim at illegal immigration would be atop her list of priorities.
Specifically on matters relating to illegal immigration, Britt said she would work to reinstall the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” and “public charge” policies. Taking it a step further, the candidate vowed to curb legal immigration in an effort to “put American workers first.”
“[W]hen you talk to Alabamians, you realize the struggles that the failed policies that the Biden administration have created for everyone across this great state,” Britt said, noting that she has visited each of Alabama’s 67 counties. “And we’ve got to put back in Trump’s policies, we’ve got to put back in the America First agenda so that we can start to flourish and we can start to create opportunity across this great state no matter what their zip code is. So we’ve got to have people that are willing to fight and are willing to step up to help preserve the nation that we know and love.”
Britt and Brooks will square off in the June 21 Republican primary runoff election. The candidate who earns the GOP nod will face the Democratic Party’s nominee in the November 8 general election.
Classy!
Maybe THEY are not the ones who chose poorly.
He’s blaming democrats for crossover vote for a Trump endorsed candidate?
Uh-huh. That much is obvious. They don’t want to work with their voters either. The republican party will never be a force for good in America, period.
Yes, but my point is he did that AFTER he was booed for telling us all to move on from the 2020 election.
Her prior support of BLM may suggest otherwise.
Mo was speaking publicly about the stolen 2020 election in Nov and Dec 2020 and in Jan 2021. As a result he has been investigated for it.
In the MSNBC interview around 8:30 or so Mo mentions 2000 mules. Not sure what other candidates for Congress are even mentioning 2000 mules.
He’s 100% right. Britt is just another RINO hack.
Better an older Conservative than a young RINO. Have you guys learned nothing ?
He’s 100% correct.
She has no track record.
Out of college she worked on Shelby’s staff.
She then became a lobbyist on behalf of the Chamber of Cheap Labor (Commerce).
She happily helped democrat mayor steven reed lay out his plan of destruction.... The same mayor reed who called all Trump supporters “trash”.
She happily embraced the $300 million dollar state gas tax signed by gas tax granny Ivey.
Then there were her nauseating high fructose corn syrupy cutie pie commercials proclaiming how great a Christian she is, or how great of a conservative she is, or how she’s “one of us”, etc, etc, etc all the while using an out of state shadow PAC to do her dirty work.
Mo you’ve already proven that you were not what you led us to think you were so you can give it a rest. Words have consequences and actions have meaning.
You brought this on yourself - live with it, or change parties and see how that works out.
Neither do Oz, Walker, or Vance and Trump endorsed all three.
I’m sure he thinks Trump was misguided, so he then goes out
and proves he’s worthless by talking nice about people
advocating for the killing of the unborn, and every other
disgusting policy they are hawking these days.
Time will tell if Britt can prove him wrong.
Time will tell if Britt will prove him wrong.
