Insurrectionist Mo Brooks May Seek US Senate Seat

The Hill reports:

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said Monday he is interested in running for the Senate in the wake of Sen. Richard Shelby’s (R-Ala.) announcement that he will not seek another term in 2022. “I am running for election in 2022, either for my House seat or for the Alabama Senate seat,” Brooks said in a statement.

“Quite frankly, the last three months of scurrilous and palpable false attacks on me by Socialist Democrats and their fake news media allies have been a wonderful blessing because they have sent my state-wide name I.D. and Republican primary support through the roof.”

Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, who led the charge to overturn the election results in Congress, and riled up the crowd at Jan. 6 rally, says of potentially seeking Shelby’s seat: “I am running for election in 2022, either for my House seat or for the Alabama Senate seat,” per @arogDC
