Yet another entry for our Infighting Is Funny files:
Sen. Mo Brooks (R-AL) is lashing out after former President Donald Trump decided to endorse his competition. Trump announced late on Friday that he is endorsing Katie Britt against Brooks in the GOP primary runoff.
“His words caused me to withdraw my Endorsement, and Mo has been wanting it back ever since — but I cannot give it to him,” Trump announced through his Save America PAC.
Brooks is not taking the Britt endorsement too well, taking to Twitter to accuse Trump of being “conned” by Republican leadership.
Read the full article. Brooks has now deleted his earlier tweets begging for Trump to re-endorse him.
This is weird: last time Donald Trump talked about Katie Britt, he said she was unqualified for the Senate.
Donald Trump is the only man in American politics who could get conned by Mitch McConnell twice in an Alabama Senate race.

Let’s just admit it: Trump endorses the wrong people sometimes. He endorsed Mitt Romney, he endorsed John McCain and now he’s endorsed Katie Britt, who his own son, Don Jr. called “Alabama’s Liz Cheney.”

President Trump knows that Alabamians are sick and tired of failed, do-nothing career politicians.
In the Senate, I will fight to defend Alabama’s values, advance the America First agenda, and preserve the American Dream for generations to come. #alsenhttps://t.co/sfBxHkhA1w
