Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, during an interview with Fox News Sunday, insisted on widespread voter fraud. cost former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election – forcing Fox News Sunday guest host Sandra Smith intervene and push back.
Talk with Brooks went off rails after Smith asked a lawmaker about Trump wresting his support from Brooks for US Senate.
Brooks said the 45th President decision “revolved around his desire to cancel the election.”
“And I can understand his desire to do it, okay? He was robbed in my judgment in 2020. In his opinion, he was robbed. And so I can understand that desire,” Brooks said.
“As well as just go on there has been no evidence so far in record or evidence provided that there was any of fraud in then…” Smith interrupted him.
“Oh no, it wrongBrooks chuckled. out. “I don’t know Why do you people in in media keep saying it but it’s absolutely false. It’s absolutely false. You keep talking every time but it’s absolutely false”.
“What falsesir?” Smith asked.
“You had 150 congressmen and senators. who totally disagree with you on What are you just said, Brooks said. “So what do you call them? What do you call them when you say that 150 Republican Senators and Congressmen are watching for voter fraud? issue and said that there is a major problem?
“What do you call the Commission? on Federal Electoral Reform, bipartisan committee with Jimmy Carter on in one hand and James Baker – head of the White House of Ronald Reagan of employees on another – back in 2005 who analyzed systemic deficiencies, systemic deficiencies in our elections system and warned us that the elections will stolen if we don’t fix these problems and those problems were not fixed? the congressman was outraged.
“That’s why I don’t know who tells you there’s no evidence, but that tells me you didn’t do your homework. I’m sorry, but this way it is,” he continued.
As the two have repeatedly said over each other, Smith tried to point out out that judges and other Trump administration officials said there was no massive electoral fraud. in elections.
“No, no, courts are time out. Don’t go into it. Don’t get into it,” Brooks began.
“Wait, no, no. i get – i get last word on it’s because you just made a false statement, okay? Alabama MP added.
“Courts are not final arbitrator of who wins federal elections contests. Congress is. That is required under the United States Constitution. That is required under the United States Code for congressmen, senators and the president,” he said. “Therefore, do not be surprised that the courts do not usurp power It is allowed in United States Congress.”
After the 2020 presidential election, dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump or his allies for fraud have been dismissed by state and federal judges.
In December of that year, even Trump-appointed Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department found no evidence of widespread electoral fraud that would change the outcome of the election.
However, Brooks continued to push for an unfair beating of Trump. one tell Smith to watch the controversial documentary on led election fraud conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza.
“Watch the 2000 Mules documentary that came out out. look at how a lot of bulk mail out of ballots have been to the United States for that we have no security,” he said.
Smith hit back noting that the documentary “was screened and fact-verified by multiple sources including Reuters, who debunked it like any kind of proof that there was widespread electoral fraud.”
The two kept talking over each other for moments, and Brooks could be heard saying to Smith, “You absolutely wrong, Sandra. But go on with what story If you wish”.
Despite the strong defense of in former the president on Sunday, he lost his favor of Trump before this year after the congressman urged supporters move on from 2020 loss
“When I heard his statement, I said: “Mo, you just failed the election and there is nothing you can do about it,” Trump said. in March. “Very sad, but since he decided to leave in another direction, me too, and I hereby withdraw my approval of Mo Brooks for Senate. I do not think that great people of Alabama will not agree with to me. Electoral fraud must be exposed and stopped, otherwise we won’t have a country anymore.”
Without Trump support Brooks failed score enough votes to win Republican primary nomination for the Senate outright on May 24th.
He will facing off against Kathy Britt in repeat elections on June 21, after Britt took home 44.8% of in vote compared to Brooks’ 29.1%.
