Boy, this just keeps getting better and better, or worse and worse, depending on how you want to look at it.
It seems as though the public drama and break-up between disgraced ex-President Donald Trump and Alabama Republican Senator Mo Brooks has quickly morphed into a full-fledged pissing match as the two GOP halfwits appear to have devolved into firing potshots at each other back and forth all evening.
To catch you up on things real quick, Trump initiated the break up this morning with an “official” statement released through his spokeswoman Liz Harrington, announcing that he was officially rescinding his previous endorsement of Brooks’ Alabama Senate reelection campaign, basically because Mo dared to urged the Republican Party to move on from Trump’s 2020 election loss, leaving the incumbent senator too “woke” for the former president’s taste.
Now, once Trump’s political take-backsies went public, instead of lying down like the good little Trump you-know-what, Brooks hit back at the one-term, twice-impeached former guy hard — mocking Trump for falling prey to a manipulation “ploy” by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, doubling down on his calls for the GOP to move the hell on from 2020 already, and wrapped things up with a brutally huge accusation regarding the ex-president’s alleged coup demands.

“Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency,” Brooks alleged, directly on the heels of Donald’s rescinded endorsement.
This bombshell accusation pretty much immediately ignited speculation among Americans who wondered if this meant Brooks, who once lead the charge on Trump’s infamous Big Lie, is soon to turn on the ex-president and offer up some nitty, gritty info to the January 6th House Select Committee.
And that brings us to this moment.
Brooks’ brutal comeback evidently prompted the ex-president to send out a statement response that was emailed to reporters.
“Mo Brooks was a leader on the 2020 Election Fraud and then, all of sudden, during the big rally in Alabama, he went ‘woke’ and decided to drop everything he stood for—when he did, the people of Alabama dropped him, and now I have done so also. The people get it, but unfortunately, Mo doesn’t,” Trump wrote to reporters. “As far as Mitch McConnell, I am not a fan and there’s been no harsher critic than me. He has been absolutely terrible, and very bad for the GOP. The sooner he leaves ‘Leadership,’ the better off the Republican Party will be.”
It seems Mo wasn’t about to leave that hanging in the air without its own response.
The Alabama senator took to Twitter to once again claim that Donald Trump was manipulated and suckered by KY senator Mitch McConnell.
“Let’s get this straight: Donald Trump got played. Again. President Trump has let Mitch McConnell manipulate him. Every single negative TV ad against our campaign has come from McConnell and his allies,” Brooks fumed. “The people trashing our campaign to President Trump support or are paid by Mitch McConnell. I wish President Trump wouldn’t fall for it, but he has.”
The people trashing our campaign to President Trump support or are paid by Mitch McConnell. I wish President Trump wouldn’t fall for it, but he has. I haven’t changed at all on 2020, I still believe the election was filled with fraud and abuse.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump comes out with a banner plane reading “Mo Brooks Sucks!” at this point.
