Senate Leadership Fund Targets A Conservative For Daring To Oppose Trump
Posted at 12:00 pm on July 12, 2017 by Joe Cunningham There’s a Senate primary race coming up in Alabama, and it’s getting ugly. Mo Brooks, a conservative representative and member of the House Freedom Caucus, is challenging Senator Luther Strange, and some GOP groups do not like that at all.
The Senate Leadership Fund has stepped in, releasing an ad targeting Brooks for committing the crime of speaking out against Trump… during the GOP primaries.
In a new ad, first reported by Politico’s Kevin Robillard, the Senate Leadership Fund attacks Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) for a 2016 attack on then-candidate Trump. “I don’t think you can trust Donald Trump with anything he says,” Brooks says in the spot. The congressman also appears in a triptych with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.); “They all attacked Donald Trump, trying to stop him,” says a narrator.
All of the ad’s quotes come from an MSNBC interview conducted just days before the Super Tuesday primaries — when Trump solidly won Alabama. At the time, the segment made news because Brooks attacked Trump as an adulterer.
“I think what you’re going to see 12 to 18 months from now is a lot of people who have supported Donald Trump, they’re going to regret having done so, 12 to 18 months, but right now they’re enamored with the personality,” said Brooks. “They’re enamored with a projection of Donald Trump when they really should be looking at what he’s going to do if he becomes President of the United States.”
