'No one who serves in Congress should be expressing public sympathy with the views of a terrorist,' a colleague admonished the Alabama Republican.
Brooks said of the terrifying situation: “Although this terrorist’s motivation is not yet publicly known ... generally speaking, I understand citizenry anger directed at dictatorial Socialism and its threat to liberty, freedom and the very fabric of American society.”The lawmaker also barely condemned the violent plot, describing it only as sad and too common.
“Sadly, violence and threats of violence targeting America’s political institutions are far too common,” Brooks wrote before he urged “patriotic Americas” to “fight back” by voting.
