Rep. Mo Brooks on Sunday engaged in a heated argument with a “Fox Information Sunday” host more than the 2020 presidential election benefits, which the conservative lawmaker insists was tainted with irregularities.
Throughout a phase with visitor host Sandra Smith, Brooks — who very last week earned adequate votes to secure a location in the Alabama Republican Senate runoff election subsequent month — insisted that voter fraud could not be ruled out for the 2020 election, despite giving no evidence to again up his assertions.
When Brooks spoke of the value of voter integrity in pushing for more durable election rules, Smith mentioned lawful endeavours after the 2020 election have been not able to demonstrate any election malfeasance.
Brooks, having said that, did not get kindly to the anchor’s statement and said his election worries — along with the dozens of lawmakers who sought to challenge the final results in several swing states — had been being dismissed.

“The congressmen and senators disagree with you, with what you just explained,” the congressman advised Smith. “Elections are heading to be stolen if we never resolve these challenges.”
He added: “The courts are not the final arbiter of who wins federal election contests.”
Just after mentioning additional debunked claims of voter fraud, Smith stepped in and mentioned that they could not be established.
“That has been looked at and fact-checked by numerous stores, like Reuters, who have [reported] there isn’t any proof that there was prevalent voter fraud,” she responded.
Brooks — who was endorsed by previous President Donald Trump for the Senate race very last calendar year just before the previous president withdrew his assistance in March and accused his longtime ally of heading “woke” — surged in polling soon right before past week’s primary by continuing to charm to the state’s conservative citizens.
He will encounter former Senate main of staff members and attorney Katie Britt in the runoff future thirty day period.
