GOP Rep. Mo Brooks 'continued to be a vocal Trump supporter for over a year after the time he now says Trump directed him to lead an illegal attempt to overthrow our government,' said Rep. Don Beyer.
In his Wednesday statement, Brooks said that he's repeating"what has prompted President Trump's ire," which was that"the only legal way America can prevent 2020's election debacle is for patriotic Americans to focus on and win the 2022 and 2024 elections so that we have the power to enact laws that give us honest and accurate elections."
Brooks' statement also drew a response from Rep. Don Beyer , who suggested the GOP congressman ran afoul of his constitutional obligations.in a Twitter thread that Brooks was"a leader of Trump's push to illegally overturn the 2020 election" and"continued to be a vocal Trump supporter for over a year after the time he now says Trump directed him to lead an illegal attempt to overthrow our government.
"I can't imagine getting a request to illegally overthrow the lawful United States government and hiding it, let alone continuing to publicly support the person who made it," said Beyer."We swear an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
