Brooks: “How many of you have seen that ad out there that says I’m supporting the Islamic State?”
Embattled Congressman Mo Brooks admitted he had voted to cut off funding to fight ISIS – affirming Senate Leadership Fund’s latest ad – at a candidate forum in Wetumpka. Despite being the only member of the Alabama congressional delegation to vote with Nancy Pelosi, Brooks defended his vote, saying he believed the President shouldn’t have the power to fight ISIS unless Congress gives permission. This fits the consistent pattern of Brooks’ strident opposition to President Trump since early 2016 and as recently as last week.
