John,
On January 6, 2021, Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks took the stage before Donald Trump and delivered his own incendiary speech urging Trump’s supporters to “take down names and kick ass.”
But before serving as Trump’s warm up act that day, Brooks was already a leading figure in pushing baseless election fraud lies, proudly telling Steve Bannon on his podcast before the insurrection that he “led the charge.”
From tweets warning that Dems would steal the White House and falsely claiming that dead people voted, to claims by “Stop the Steal” organizers that they worked with Brooks’ office to push lawmakers to block President Biden’s certification, it’s becoming clearer how Brooks “led the charge.”

Brooks’ actions go beyond his role leading up to the insurrection. When lawmakers were trapped inside the Capitol building fearing for their lives, a Republican congressional aide told CNN that Brooks was glad it was happening and was cheering this on.
