http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/01/this-pro-trump-senate-candidate-is-going-full-speed-against-mitch-mcconnell/Rep. Mo Brooks firmly backed President Donald Trump and slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell leader in a new ad for his bid to become Alabama’s next senator. The ad, launched Tuesday, is for the Alabama special election, and targets interim Sen. Luther Strange for allegedly misleading voters about Brooks’ support for Trump.
The Republican leader is backing Brook’s opponent, but the conservative congressman is running on his strong support of the president– and took a few brutal swipes at McConnell along the way.
“Luther Strange, he isn’t telling the truth again,” Brooks said in the ad, which is airing statewide on cable, broadcast and digital. “I wrote a $2,500 check to help President Trump beat Hillary, and in Congress, I vote with the president 95 percent of the time.”
