GOP Senate candidate: Moderate Republicans are blocking the wall – The Hill
Rep. Mo BrooksMo BrooksGOP Senate candidate: Moderate Republicans are blocking the wall GOP Senate candidate threatens shutdown over border wall Time to pass National Concealed Carry Reciprocity MORE (R-Ala.), a current candidate for the Senate seat left openby Attorney General Jeff SessionsJeff SessionsDem fumes over Team Trump's 'pattern of convenient forgetfulness' GOP Senate candidate: Moderate Republicans are blocking the wall GOP Senate candidate threatens shutdown over border wall MORE, blamed entrenched Washington special interestsMondayfor holding up the construction of President Trump's promised wall on the border with Mexico.
In a fundraising email, Brooks said that moderate Democrats and Republican big business interests outwaiting Trumps time in officewith an eye towards passing immigration amnesty in the future.
The Wall is being held up because of a tacit deal that has existed for years between moderate Republican big business and Democratic Party, the email read.
The fight to stop Amnesty is a fight for the future of America itself, Brooks said in the email.
The pro-Amnesty crowd is so determined to keep President Trump from doing what the American people elected him to do, that they will stop at nothing to defeat the Wall.
Brooks also called Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), who has beenappointed to fill Sessionss seat until the election, an establishment Republican backed by pro-Amnesty, establishment money.
The fundraising push comes as Brooks and former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moorechallenge Strange in the upcoming August primary.
Brooks also released a campaign adMonday in which he threatened to shut down the government to obtain funding for the border wall.
Elect me to the Senate, and Ill fight every spending bill that doesnt fund that wall. And if I have to filibuster on the Senate floor, Ill even read the King James Bible until the wall is funded, he said in the campaign ad.
Were going to build that wall, or youll know the name of every Republican who surrenders to the Democrats to break my filibuster. I give you my word, and I dont give my word lightly, Brooks continued.
Brooks repeatedly attacked Trump during the presidentialprimary, calling him a "serial adulterer." While Brooks has become a strong supporter of the president since his November victory, his previous criticisms of Trump could pose a problem for him in the Alabama race.
